Join us for the FINAL New York Premiere & Q&A Screening for the first ever Gen Z-distributed theatrical release: “Our Hero, Balthazar” with a Q&A with Actor/Producer Jaeden Martell, Writer/Director/Producer Oscar Boyson, Actress Pippa Knowles, and the Consulting Producer/Head of Marketing behind the film’s viral “Bboymalone212” marketing campaign Diego Andaluz. OUR HERO, BALTHAZAR is a darkly comedic thriller directed by A24/HBO Producer Oscar Boyson (UNCUT GEMS starring Adam Sandler, GOOD TIME starring Robert Pattinson, Greta Gerwig/Noah Baumbach Projects), touching on the impact of social media on Gen Z, performative activism, and the teen gun violence crisis, starring Jaeden Martell (Warner Bros’ IT, Lionsgate’s KNIVES OUT, A24’s Y2K), Asa Butterfield (Netflix’s SEX EDUCATION, Disney’s THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS, Paramount’s HUGO) and Noah Centineo (Netflix’s TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE, A24’s WARFARE). It currently has a 95% Critics Score and 93% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes, outranking every title on Warner Bros, A24, Netflix, Disney, Sony, and Paramount’s 2026 slate. It is the 2nd most followed independent marketing campaign of all time, also garnering more followers than studio-backed campaigns for Warner Bros’ Weapons, One Battle After Another, Wuthering Heights, The Mummy, Universal & Steven Speilberg’s Disclosure Day, A24’s The Drama, and every Neon film ever including Longlegs, Anora, and Parasite, while outperforming WB, Disney, and Paramount titles at the box office in overlapping theaters. The film has been listed by Variety as one of the best films of 2026, and as a 2026 HCA Best Independent Film nominee. It has been praised by 4x Oscar-winner Sean Baker (director of ANORA) and Stephen King, and critics have compared the film to Adolescence, The Drama, Nightcrawler, Superbad, and Taxi Driver, with the Wall Street Journal saying it “has an ending worthy of a Martin Scorsese picture”.
