Are you a film buff or someone with an interest in the movie industry? Join us for a screening of a must-see classic film for any student, connoisseur, or filmmaking aspirant preceded by a brief introduction and followed by a discussion. This program will take place on Tuesday, February 11 at 6 pm. We will watch “It Happened One Night,” Frank Capra’s film about a spoiled heiress on the lam from her father, and the gruff reporter who hooks up with her as they travel northward, engage in a series of misadventures and begin to fall for each other. A discussion on the Golden Age of Hollywood will follow the movie screening, lead by Charlie Myers, a lecturer at California State University, Long Beach with experience as a consultant in the film industry. Discover why directors such as Tarantino, Scorsese, and Spielberg believe studying classic film is the best film school in the world. This program is open adults, and no registration is required.

Charles Myers has worked as crew on over 60 motion pictures including feature films, television, pilots, as well as hundreds of commercials.  He has also worked at most of the major studios and built theme park attractions globally and other projects such as the restoration of Grauman’s Chinese Theater. While a professor at Saddleback College and California State University Long Beach, hundreds of Charles’ students have gone on to careers in entertainment including several Academy Award nominees and two winners
