Digital gatherings for those who love to watch and talk about films.
One of the best things about seeing a film in a theater is sharing the experience with other people, right then and there. #SmallScreenFun brings that movie-watching camaraderie to the digital space for when we can't gather together in person. Each week we'll focus on a different film that's readily available through digital platforms. You can "pre-game" by watching the film on your own and tuning in the following Tuesday for a live chat with Hop Film mavens Syd Stowe, Johanna Evans and special guests, including filmmakers, industry folks and film scholars.
