Special Screening of Empathy, Inc. at Fox Berkshire

by Fox Theatres

Oct 29, 2019

Film stars Zack Robidas, actor with local roots

Wyomissing, PA:  Fox Theatres announces a special one-time screening and discussion of Empathy, Inc., a chilling techno-thriller starring Zack Robidas, who grew up in Berks County.   The film will play Monday, November 11, at 7:30pm at Fox Berkshire, 800 Berkshire Blvd., Wyomissing.  A discussion with the actor will follow the film.  General tickets are $12, and seniors are $10.

After losing everything when the Silicon Valley startup he’s invested in flames out, venture capitalist Joel (Robidas) finds himself in the undesirable position of living with his wife’s parents in suburban New York. Desperate to regain his autonomy, Joel happens upon a chance for redemption when smooth-talking acquaintance Nicolaus (Eric Berryman) introduces him to XVR, a hyper-realistic virtual reality experience that allows users to literally walk in someone else’s shoes. A test run of the XVR experience is a revelation, but it doesn’t take long for Joel to recognize that the seemingly-benign technology is leaving a sinister real-world impact, leading him down a dangerous rabbit hole of lies, blackmail, and mistaken identities.

Zack Robidas is a graduate of Reading Central Catholic High School and has a BA in Theatre from Desales University in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He is best known for his work on the Netflix series Friends from College, Facebook Watch’s Sorry For Your Loss and HBO’s Succession. Zack was also in the films It’s Complicated, with Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin, as well as the Richard Gere thriller Arbitrage.
