It was a tag-team effort for red carpet coverage that night. At the same venue, the cast of “Forbidden Fruits” brought a different kind of energy. The comedy-horror-thriller centers on a group of mall coworkers — Apple, Cherry, and Fig — who secretly lead a witchy sisterhood, until a new hire begins to question everything. Lili Reinhart spoke about the themes of sisterhood both on and off screen, adding to the film’s intrigue. If you missed the premiere, the film is screening again tonight at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, with a wider theatrical release set for March 27.

Meanwhile, across town at ZACH Theatre, the spotlight was on the world premiere of “DreamQuil.” The sci-fi drama stars and is produced by Elizabeth Banks and imagines a near future where worsening air quality pushes society into largely virtual lives — a concept that feels eerily close to home. Writer-director Alex Prager co-wrote the script with her sister, and shared that the creative collaboration with Banks had been in the works for quite some time.
