A lecture and screening series I ran while working at Encore VFX. I programmed a series of diverse titles that screened every two weeks, and I gave a presentation beforehand discussing the history, art and business of each film.
We held a successful bake sale to raise money for Breast Cancer that was tied into a screening of Mean Girls (2003). The event, "On Wednesdays We Wear Pink for Breast Cancer", was part of Breast Cancer awareness month.
The presentations became a big hit among some employees who would come just for them, but then ended up staying for the film.
