Greer caught two world premieres at NBFF’s Saturday night centerpiece and then rocked out at the after party at Equinox. The Lido Theatre was a full house and the after party was packed. Greer interviews the star of Should’ve Been Romeo and also of Decade of Dominance, the movie documenting long distance Hawaiian paddle boarding.
The afterparty, which featured a band playing surrounded by the Equinox pool, was the cherry on top for Saturday night’s centerpiece at the Newport Beach Film Festival. The film fest continues until May 3rd and with awesome premieres and events continuing throughout the week.
