  • i liked this great idea of suds and Cinema

    Suds & Cinema had a great first event hosted by Cinema Slice and would love to attend another screening in the near future. Nick the director made everyone feel welcomed and valued, and that goes a long way in this business. My only suggestion would possibly having a better sound system or location that can easily be filled with background noise while we watch the films! But Hop Yard 62 was a very fun spot!

    This was a fun film festival. Cozy setting where filmmakers, casts and crews, and just film lovers enjoyed the craft of film (and craft of beer) in an encouraging atmosphere. Highly recommend the Suds&Cinema Festival. Great time and great festival.
