This is just the beginning. To God be the glory!” Distributed by Factory Film Studio across North America, the first screening of Get The Sucker Back begins 2PM Friday, August 24, 2018 at the Cineplex Canada Square, with a special cast and crew red carpet premiere at 6PM and a brief Q & A after the 7PM screening.
