Missed "THELMA" at Filmfest DC 2024? No worries! The film will be in theaters across the DMV tomorrow, June 21!

There’s no stopping her.
When 93-year-old Thelma Post falls victim to a phone scam, she embarks on a daring quest to recover what was stolen. Inspired by writer-director Josh Margolin's grandmother, Thelma humorously reimagines action films like Mission: Impossible with an elderly heroine. Oscar®-nominated June Squibb stars as Thelma, showing she can handle anything despite her family's doubts.
