More informationWednesday Night in "Indie Movie Night" in Hollywood at the Hang On to the Dream Theatre!
Date: 2025-08-13T19:00:00-07:00
Description: Wednesday Nights are Indie Movie Nights in Hollywood at the Hang On to the Dream Theatre! Join us every Wednesday at 7pm at the Hang On to the Dream Theatre in Hollywood for "Indie Movie Night", where we show independent films by up & coming filmmakers from across LA and around the world! From short films to full length motion pictures, this is an opportunity for independent filmmakers to have their films shown in a true theatre setting, right in the heart of Hollywood! The evening begins at 7pm with a "meet & greet" in the theatre's outdoor patio. This is a time when film enthusiasts as well as entertainment industry professionals can network with each other before the film starts. Then the films are shown on the theatre's giant screen. After each film shown, the cast and crew from each films are invited on stage for a "Q&A", when those in the audience can ask questions about the making of the films, etc. After the films are shown, everyone is invited to back to the patio area for refreshments and to take pictures and get autographs with the cast and more! Plus, all of the proceeds from the evening's ticket sales goes directly to the filmmakers whose films were featured that night! So, come and join us every Wednesday at 7pm for "Indie Movie Night" at the Hang On to the Dream Theatre in Hollywood as we celebrate the creative talents of independent filmmakers! And remember, "No matter how hard things seem, Hang On to the Dream!"
