Description
Join us for another night of film and music on the magical rooftop of Petit Ermitage Hotel. These evenings are a beautiful community event and ongoing collaboration between Petit Ermitage, Cheshire Moon Productions, and Blkbrd Films. Doors will open at 7:00pm where you can settle into the evening atmosphere. Grab a drink and some food and listen to live music before moving to the firedeck at sunset for the screening.
Tonight's musical guest is TBA.
Our film screening will be a selection of short films from UCLA students curated in collaboration with UCLA alum Pedro H Murcia. In 2024, Murcia became the first Guatemalan ever to graduate from the prestigious School of Theater, Film and Television at UCLA with an MFA in Production/Directing. Prior to his time there, Murcia was the first enrolled student at Cinema School at Franciso Marroquín University in Guatemala City where he studied under another UCLA alum Justin Lerner. The two partnered to create a previously screened film in one of our salons, CADEJO BLANCO, a critically acclaimed film about a young woman who infiltrates a gang to rescue her kidnapped sister. The film, based on true stories from Murcia's home town, was written/directed by Lerner and co-produced by Murcia. It was released during Murcia's third year at UCLA and nominated for a 2023 Film Independent John Cassavetes Award given annually to the writer, director, and producer of the best feature made under $1 million. Murcia is now a current member of the Film Independent selection board. Don't miss out on this very special evening and unique opportunity to network with fellow arthouse film lovers!
