It’s also continuing its international festival tour.
THE LAST ANNIVERSARY will make its theatrical debut in Toronto May 22, and then open across Canada May 29, from indie distributor Tiny Cabin Pictures. Having world-premiered at the 2025 Macabro Film Festival in Mexico, it will have its Midwestern U.S. premiere at the 2026 Julien Dubuque International Film Festival. Written, directed and edited by Brett Butler and Jason Butler, a.k.a. The Butler Brothers, it stars Jesse McQueen, Kenneth Northfield, Ry Barrett (IN A VIOLENT NATURE), Kevin Courtney, Manon Ens-Lapointe, Honor Spencer, Jenna Vittoria, Michael Masurkevitch and Jessica Vano. The synopsis: “Tom [Northfield] and Aubrey [McQueen] return to the abandoned hotel where they were married 10 years earlier, inviting their original wedding party for one final night of celebration. But beneath the surface of nostalgia lies a darker purpose: confronting the group about the mysterious disappearance of their Maid of Honor on that long-ago wedding night. As tensions rise and the world edges toward collapse, buried truths begin to surface with devastating consequences.”
