The theater will screen the environmentally focused, multi-genre "Noxious," this weekend.

DORMONT, PA - The Hollywood Theater will host the Pittsburgh premiere of a just-released independent movie a Bethel Park filmmaker spent three years completing.

“Noxious,” debuts March 10 at 4 p.m. at the Hollywood, a month after its world premiere in Florida. The movie’s commercial release will occur this summer.

“It is an eclectic mix of genres,” first-time filmmaker Diana Riggs said. “Thriller, horror, sci-fi, a love story, drama and a hint of humor that should be a fun ride for everyone.”
