    We had an amazing screening of our film with Rooftop Cinema Club in their Southland Series. Wonderful staff all around from the festival to the venue. Stunning views and a swank setting made for a very cool experience. They also organized a very thoughtful Q&A after the film-- great opportunity to get all kinds of people in LA to come see your work in a fun spot.
