Dallas Film Festivals

 

Happy Holidays from our kitchens to yours! May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, memories, and of course great food!

Hoping that you enjoy one of our favorite days of the year to eat too much and then spend the day in front of a roaring fire watching all of your favorite films.

What a milestone - 2020 will mark the 50th year for Dallas based USA Film Festival. It seems like every year this festival continues to offer even more to true film buffs, so we can't wait to see what's in store.

If you aren't a member, you should join now so you can take advantage of everything that comes with membership including free screenings of most of the movies you want to see before they are released. This alone is an incredible value.

Take a look at their website - you can get membership information there.

See you at the movies!

The USA Film Festival truly is a year long event, and this week they hosted a member screening of the new hit film Florence Foster Jenkins starring Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg.
Helberg is well known for his role on "The Big Bang Theory"and charmed the waiting list only crowd with stories about his cast members and some of the antics that happened during shooting. The crowd loved the film, and we are sure that it will be one fo the major hits of the Summer.

The USA Film Festival has done it again - their 32nd annual KidFilm has been one of the best. It's so rewarding to see kids spending quality time with their families and enjoying the arts - I think this is one of our favorite events of the year.

The kids get so excited about film, reading actual books and getting to sing along with some of their favorite singers like Lisa Loeb - it's just a joy to watch. Her Nursery Rhyme Parade was a huge it.

What is the most amazing thing about this event is that it's free! The USA Film Festival sponsors like the Dallas Film Commission, Whole Foods and Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate and many of the philanthropic Dallas families make it possible for all kids to enjoy great films.

As a Lifestylist® I am so grateful for the quality of programming the USA Film Festival brings to Dallas - now I can't wait for this year's Spring Festival!

Gary will also share some of his favorite stories of being on the set working with actors like Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman, and intriguing anecdotes of the 24 years as a film critic where he interviewed almost every actor in the world. A great movie and a tasty glass go hand in hand, and no one knows more about movies than Gary.

The night will benefit  Cafe Momentum, teaching critical social skills, along with training in the culinary arts, gardening, nutrition and horticulture, to Dallas youth in a safe, real-world environment of nurturing accountability.

Tickets will include a welcome glass of sparkling wine to toast the start of the evening, plus two glasses of specially selected wine at Veritas, light snacks, your Oscar ballot and, of course, a lively discussion of all the movies of the year. Dallas Uncorked is a 501c3 not for profit educational organization devoted to bringing informative, entertaining and unique wine events to our community, while benefiting charitable organizations around the city, and around the world.
