Save Newport Real News in Newport Beach
Did you know that Newport has an internationally known Film Festival? Living here, it’s easy to dismiss hyped up things as “just more local news”, but this is a really big deal! Centered around the Lido Theater but having most other surrounding theaters also participating, the event kicks off tomorrow with the Opening Night Gala, a $175-per-person event where people dress up and mingle, talking about movie business and movies– old and new.
This year, Newport’s very own Tim Burnham has entered his own film entitled Dirty Old Wedge. His movie was originally allotted TWO showings due to popular interest, but was forced to expand to accommodate a wildly unexpected interest in the film. Then it sold out again and has expanded once more, doubling its original showings to a massive four. This fourth showing will be at Lido Theater, and has not sold out… yet! So buy your tickets here, now: http://www.newportbeachfilmfest.com/event/dirty-old-wedge-4/
The rest of the movies at the festival are geared towards so many different movietypes it would be impossible to go into detail about all of them all here, but hop on over to their official site and see if anything pulls you in! The entire show listing can be found here: http://www.newportbeachfilmfest.com/events/list/
So kick back and enjoy one week of our famous film festival (that was harder to say than “Irish Wristwatch”!), as it will be kicking until the final show and closing ceremony on April 28th at 10pm until 1am!
