Well guys, we finally made it. After weeks of anticipation, the 2017 LA Film Festival officially begins tonight, with the premiere of our Opening Night film, Colin Trevorrow’s tense family mystery-drama The Book of Henry. Thus kicks off nine straight days of tastefully jam-packed, film-oriented adult recreation: screenings, panels, special events, food, drink, live music, yoga (!) and much, much more. It’s a lot of stuff to keep up with, but don’t worry—we’re here to help.
