Independent Feature 'Irregular' Set for Chain Film Festival Debut
The 80-minute production, filmed primarily within an East Village bar, adds a second screening following high demand.

The independent feature film *Irregular* is slated for its world premiere this Sunday at the Chain Film Festival. The 80-minute project, which serves as a cinematic tribute to the East Village, was captured largely on location at the neighborhood establishment Sophie’s on Fifth Street.
Directed and co-written by Kyle de Vre, who also portrays the role of the bartender, the film is structured as a collection of vignettes. These scenes depict the atmosphere of the bar across various Tuesday nights, featuring a cast of regulars and newcomers. According to reports, the narrative explores the unique character of the local watering hole.
Public interest in the premiere has been significant, with organizers confirming that the original 6 p.m. time slot is sold out. In response to the ticket demand, a second screening has been added to the festival schedule for 8 p.m. The event will take place at the Chain Theatre, situated at 312 W. 36th St. between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. Further information regarding the screenings can be found through the official Chain Film Festival event portal.
