Support Ky and have a blast at the DC Film Society‘s “And the Winner Is…” 13th Annual Oscar Party this Sunday, February 27th, at the Arlington Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse.
If you’re looking for an Oscars party, here’s a long-running event that I’m helping to organize.
I’m on the Coordinating Committee for the Washington, DC Film Society — which raises funds for Filmfest DC, the Washington, DC International Film Festival.
Thanks,
Ky
