Hold Up, a thought-provoking short film premiering 19 May at the Romford Film Festival, is based on a real-life encounter with an East African immigrant late one night in a deserted New York subway station. The film stars Philip Ettinger, who studied at the Globe Theatre in London before gaining acclaim alongside Ethan Hawke and Amanda Seyfried in Paul Schrader’s First Reformed. He went on to play the young adult versions of Mark Ruffalo’s twin characters in HBO’s I Know This Much is True. Also starring in Hold Up is Renrick Palmer in a breakout performance that has already garnered praise. An immigrant himself, and U.S. Air Force veteran, Palmer is currently portraying Jackie Robinson for the History Channel.
