Thurs, March 17 • IFP/west NEW FILM WORKS • Los Angeles, CA.
*** View photos from the screening! ***
We were chosen for the IFP/west's monthly New Film Works series. Screenings are held in the magnificent Silver Screen Theater in the state-of-the-art Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. Q&A and reception will follow.
New Film Works is a monthly screening series highlighting the best films from filmmakers working outside the mainstream. The series presents contemporary narrative and documentary features that have not yet received American theatrical distribution. The series aims to expand the understanding and appreciation of independent film as a contemporary art form. The program takes place on the third Thursday of each month.
The SilverScreen Theater at the Pacific Design Center is located at 8687 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, CA, on the corner of Melrose Avenue and San Vicente Boulevard (map it). The post-show Reception was sponsored by Budweiser, Perrier, and Bombay Sapphire. After that, everybody went next door to Monroe's bar, where special BA-themed drinks helped us celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
