Opening Night Benefit - The Boys of Kingsbridge
6:30-10:00pm

Five friends from the same neighborhood in the NW Bronx grow up and go separate ways. Amazingly, four of them come to be at the same place at the time on that fateful day in September 2001.
Written, Produced and Directed by Thom MacNamara, the "5th unseen friend", The B oys of Kingsbridge is a compelling, gritty and honest story of survival, community, and what selfless people do in a time of crisis.
Plus, experience delicious food from Amores Café, unlimited wine and refreshing beer from Dyckman Beer Company, and delectable desserts in celebration of our incredible filmmaking community!
$85 pre-purchase. $125 day-of, and at the door, if space allows.
