Various members of the Chicago and surrounding communities were on hand for the event as well.

Dennis Hurley, who portrayed “Professor Victor Nordic” was unable to attend the event due to previous filming commitments, but stated in a message, “An absolute joy to play Professor Nordic in the zany comedy feature, Bradman! Always a pleasure to work with Bradley Laborman”
The evening was sponsored by milkandbutter.net, gaming, charity, and the Crypto community, and drinks were provided by Monaco.
After the film, several of the actors were excited about the film and already inquired about a possible sequel.
“Such a funny and great movie! I laughed a lot! I sure hope Bradman is going to have a sequel!” said Delilah Hefner, a young, up-and-coming actress who has a pivotal role in the film.
TJ McDonald, a Chicago-based actor stated, “BRADMAN: The Movie was my first role in a feature film. I didn't know how things would work but it was a wonderful experience and I'm happy I got to be a part of it.”
Jenny Wardach gushed over her filming experience, “The cast and crew sure made the experience a comedy. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
When we were able to catch up with Bradley Laborman, who was enjoying all the buzz from the premiere, he told us “I made this movie to pay homage to the first movie I ever wrote and created in college, the original movie was a steppingstone that has provided me with over 20 years of experiences in films, television, and live theatre. This movie is the reason for where I am today and this reboot, this cast, and crew, provided the perfect chemistry to bring it back to the screen.”
We also had a chance to reach out to Barry Keith Coe Jr., who acted as one of the producers on the film but was unable to attend the Chicago-based premiere. “I wish I could have been there, being involved in independent film projects like BRADMAN are important for me as a comedian and entertainer. Projects like these provide a voice we don’t always get to hear. However, I was visiting my little sister in Atlanta to support her in bringing a new edition to our family. I am an uncle now and my nephew is a ball of light!”
BRADMAN: The Movie has a few more possible screenings scheduled for Los Angeles and NYC, as well as again in Chicago in December before it goes to streaming platforms around December 15, 2022.
