Tomorrow night, 20 lucky Greer's OC readers and their friends get to experience the newly redesigned Island Cinema at Fashion Island before it opens to the public.
The exclusive party and film benefit for the Newport Beach Film Festival starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday with a wine reception followed by the advanced screening of “Young Adult” with Charlize Theron in the new state-of-the-art theater. After the film, True Food Kitchen will host a celebration featuring signature appetizers and drinks.
Our favorite time of year is the Newport Beach Film Festival returning April 26 through May 3 and we're excited this great theater will be a part of the amazing weeklong event. The seven-screen Island Cinema officially opens on Friday, Dec. 16 featuring enhanced projection and sound, premium leather seats with extra leg room, and a cafe that offers wine, beer, coffee, gelato and sandwiches. We're proud media sponsors of the event.
To enter to win a pair of tickets ($100 value) for Tuesday night, email Gretchen at gretchen@pacific-creative.digital. Please make sure to include your full name and phone number.
