[Los Angeles, Calif. April 9, 2025]

This past Saturday, acclaimed actor Kerwin Thompson walked the red carpet at the 2025 Beverly Hills Film Festival for the Los Angeles premiere of The Comic Shop, a heartfelt drama directed by Jonathan L. Bowen and distributed by Quiver Distribution. The red carpet event celebrated the film’s debut and highlighted its powerful story about passion, perseverance, and second chances.

In The Comic Shop, Thompson plays Roscoe, bringing warmth and complexity to a talented ensemble cast that includes Jesse Metcalfe, Micah Giovanni, Eric Roberts, and Tristin Mays. The film centers on Mike D’Angelo (Metcalfe), a former comic book illustrator who, after setting aside his artistic ambitions, struggles to keep his comic shop alive. As he faces financial and emotional trials, new friendships with Brandon (Giovanni) and Alex (Mays) set the stage for a journey of self-discovery and creative renewal.

“I’m incredibly honored to be part of a film that speaks to the resilience of artists,” said Thompson. “The Comic Shop is about finding your way back to your passion, no matter the obstacles, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience its heartwarming message.”
The Beverly Hills Film Festival premiere brought together the film’s cast, filmmakers, and entertainment industry insiders for a vibrant evening of storytelling and celebration. The Comic Shop is set for digital release on April 11, 2025, via Quiver Distribution.

With Thompson’s expanding filmography—including his Cannes-debuted Tight! and ?Enough!—this event further solidifies his rising presence in Hollywood. As he continues to take on impactful roles, this premiere marks another exciting milestone in his multifaceted career.
