PLAYING IN SELECT THEATERS AND AVAILABLE ON DEMAND OCT 27th
FISHBOWL
It’s 1999 in Bishop, a small town filled with secrets. Three sisters, Belle, Rachel (Emily Peachey/Tar, The Fault in Our Stars), & Jessa, are trying to cope with the absence of their mother (Judith Hogan/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Nashville) and maintain a normal life. Silently repressing them is Rick (Rick Kain/Wonder Woman 1984, Mindhunters), their damaged father who, adrift himself, is growing increasingly obsessed with the rapture that he believes is imminent. With home anything but a refuge, the sisters must cling to one another to survive.
About The Directors
STEPHEN KINIGOPOULOS
Forging a name in the world of feature film and television is an impossible journey for most hopefuls working in the industry, but visionary director and writing talent Stephen Kinigopoulos’ hard work and determination has earned him a one-way ticket on a fast-rising trajectory.
Having amassed an impressive portfolio of clients, including commercial work for the Washington Football Team and renowned restaurateurs The Atlas Group, Kinigopoulos relocated his production studio to Nashville, TN, where he has rapidly become a sought-after music video director, tapped by Grammy-winning artists Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town, Joy Williams of The Civil Wars, and other music acts and record labels, marketing agencies, and more.
Kinigopoulos’ talents and work ethic led to his production collaborations with George Pelecanos (Emmy nominated television writer and producer of The Wire, Treme, and The Pacific, and co-creator of HBO’s hit series The Deuce), who served as Executive Producer of Fishbowl—Kinigopoulos’ first feature film. Previously the two collaborated when Stephen directed The Confidential Informant, the stand alone short film adapted from Pelecanos’ bestselling crime anthology, DC Noir. This led Pelecanos to expand DC Noir into a collaborative film anthology, of which The Confidential Informant is “the powerful closer” (Urban World). An intellectually rigorous, creative powerhouse, the two filmmakers continue to explore new avenues.
ALEXA KINIGOPOULOS
Alexa “Alexa King” Kinigopoulos is a professional photographer and filmmaker with a remarkable work and client portfolio that belies her age. Sometimes surreal and always vibrant, her shots come across more like stills from a film than carefully curated photographs, evoking emotionally driven narratives—without one word being said.
Often referred to by her social celebrity nickname, Alexa King, her photojournalistic exploration of the thematic elements of Americana, Voyeurism, Suburbia, and even Rodeo life continues to gain significant note, as her work has been featured in Playboy, Maxim, Vice, Time Out New York (Father John Misty) and more. She continues to shoot editorial as well as album covers, including Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour (Single Art), Ruston Kelly’s Under the Sun and Dying Star, Colter Wall’s Calgary Round-Up, and Parker Gispert’s Sunlight Tonight.
Upon relocating to Nashville, TN Alexa’s work spoke volumes for itself, immediately carving a distinctive reputation among the city’s elite music scene where she remains in-demand photographing and directing videos for Grammy-winning artists, such as Kacey Musgraves and Joy Williams, and Americana artist Ruston Kelly.
Alexa Kinigopoulos is the Co-Director of the acclaimed feature film, Fishbowl, which is the first feature she has produced with her brother, director and writer Stephen Kinigopoulos.

REVIEWS
“Beautifully shot and full of hard questions about meaning and relationships, Fishbowl is a first-time film with real depth. The answers aren’t ever easy, but they are always worth asking.”
“The Simon sisters may have thought things were bad when told of their town that it was like a fishbowl where “when you climb to the top, you just slide back down,” but in being able to peer over the top, the filmmakers behind “Fishbowl” allow that frustration to transform into something quite moving, showing that apocalypses need not be global events to be devastating. They can be more intense when they happen in living rooms.”
“A riveting narrative about grief, faith, adolescence, and everything in between, Fishbowl tells the story of three girls coping with the loss of their mother while their father begins to lose his grip on reality.”
“A tension-filled, visceral journey, “Fishbowl” beckons viewers to, “enter the world of the Simon family for a ride that will leave you short of breath and shaken—the intersection between lies, truth, faith...and fear.”
