Our annual live DVD-style commentary event returns, and this year, we’re heading back to Forks.
Join us for a special big-screen screening of Twilight with director Catherine Hardwicke for a one-of-a-kind, immersive celebration of filmmaking. Following past screenwriter and movie fan-favorite sessions featuring Speed, Die Hard, Fight Club, Jaws and The Silence of the Lambs, we’re diving into the film that launched a global phenomenon.
Watch the movie unfold while Catherine shares behind-the-scenes stories, creative decisions, production challenges, and the magic of bringing Stephenie Meyer’s novel to life. We’ll also explore pages from the original script, giving you rare insight into how moments evolved from page to screen.
It’s part masterclass, part live commentary track, part communal movie night, and entirely a love letter to the craft of storytelling.
Come to learn. Come to laugh. Come to geek out. It’s what we will be doing on stage!
