Kristine Sutherland

At last night's Opening Night festivities at the amazing Van Wezel (and on WSRQ Radio and other wonderful media outlets) I've been encouraging everyone to seek out our screenings that have FILMMAKERS IN ATTENDANCE. This means that just like last night at the Van Wezel, you see a film, then the filmmakers (and sometimes stars) come out, speak about the film and answer your questions. Amazing! The first question I'm asked is, which movies have FILMMAKERS IN ATTENDANCE? Here are several for today! Click on any of these titles to buy tickets or get them at our box office within the Regal Cinemas Hollywood 20! And be sure to ask at the box office for recommendations of upcoming films with FILMMAKERS IN ATTENDANCE!
