‼️📢🎟️ Heads up Oklahoma film fans: we are laced up and ready for our second screening of films this year! We have 2 hours of short films lined up and ready to go, and you don’t want to miss out. I hear there’s a pizza guy delivering drama, there’s a young girl that won’t leave the lights off, and there’s a guy pretending to be someone else. There’s another guy that has really been bugging a husband and his wife (the wife is the one guys wife, not the wife of the other guy), and there’s a young woman who seems worried it’s too late to change her mind. That certainly isn’t all, so just come out and join us to see what else is in store. We will even have a silly prize raffle available onsite for anyone who makes a donation to us to further our mission! Can’t wait to see you there at The Alley in Ponca City, Saturday July 11 for NGFF 1.666 🫀🎞️

We had a blast this past Saturday at the 2nd session of Spoiler Alert! A movie trivia bingo game. We had a one person damn near clean us out (Sean Peel wins 4/6 total prizes for the night). We want to thank Core4 Brewing for having us, and we want to thank our donors for contributing some awesome prizes for this fundraiser. Keep watching for more events to come! 🫀🎞️
