1st Annual NY(SKI) - An evening of short films and ski docs
UPDATE (12/4): We’re sold out! Join waitlist in case something opens up and to be invited to our next event :)
----
I’m sick of staring at my skis and NYC doesn't show enough ski movies - so we’re renting out a local indie movie theater in Williamsburg w/ bar and curating a selection of ski/snowboard short films & documentaries (ranging from 5 to 30 minutes).
Come meet some awesome new people and enjoy some cool ski films! We'll be hanging out at the bar after so there will be a chance to all hang :)
Tickets are to cover the cost of the theater rental.
For friends & friends of friends (& maybe friends of friends... of friends). Know someone who loves skiing/the mountains? Invite them!
6:15: Doors Open
6:55: Show Start (It's full-service: drinks & food straight to your seat - see menu) They have awesome dinner stuff - so come hungry!
9:00: (Apres Ski) Post-show social at the bar. Meet fellow NY'ers who love the mountains (and some of the talent behind the films!)
