Happy New Year!

Back to the Future: FILM SCREENING

Dust off your hoverboards, young filmmakers, because a timeless adventure awaits! We’re inviting you to an exclusive online screening of the iconic 1985 film, Back to the Future, followed by movie trivia and prizes!

Get ready to travel back in time with Marty McFly–a teenager accidentally sent to 1955 where he has to make sure his parents fall in love, or he risks ceasing to exist. Join him as he teams up with the eccentric Doc Brown, cruises in a time-traveling DeLorean, and rocks out with Chuck Berry in a high school talent show that’ll rewrite history!

FILM SCREENING

Date: Saturday, January 13

Time: 11am-2pm (Pacific Time)
