THANK YOU to everyone who made the first 2024 Clean Plate Club screening a success!
We absolutely loved watching MYSTIC PIZZA on 35mm after enjoying some delicious piri-piri sauce slices from @pepperonitonie of @pauliegeeswickerpark, @pauliegeeslogansquare, and @pauliegeeswheeling. Thank you to Tony and Tayllor for being such kind and generous partners for this event!
Jeremy, Kyle, and everyone at the Music Box Theatre worked so hard to make this a fun, memorable experience for everyone involved - getting to speak about our mission and seeing Pilot Light classrooms on the historic Music Box screen before the show meant the world to us! 📽️❤️🥹
