Memorable Events


We run hundreds of movie nights each year,every event is special, we love what we do and enjoy all event. Here we highlight 5 of these great nights (that I personally attended).

1. It's a Wonderful Light we highlight all our services with a movie, video gaming, Photobooth, Hashtag Printer and popcorn. A wonderful Holiday event in Downtown San Leandro. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

2. Rise of the Sufferfests. Documentaries can feel dry if you are not immersed in the subject matter. Rise of the Sufferfests is a wonderfully crafted  documentary. What made these events special was the larger than life personalities in the documentary and the energy and authenticity of Scott Kneely.

3. Star Wars Screening of The Force Awakens with guest appearance by Daniel Logan (Who was the young Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones).

4. Stand By Me - The Town of Brownsville OR is where the classic 80's movie Stand By Me was filmed. Stand By Me day happens every year, this year was the 30th anniversary. After striking the event my son and I crossed the bridge (at about 1am).
