Pizza and a Movie Night: 
COMEDY EDITION
hosted by Film TRaC!!!

Three choices. One vote. Mob rules.
And after the film, as always, we talk it out.
.

Those are the sacred rules for High 5’s Pizza and a Movie Night. Every month we put out a call to all movie buffs, wanna-be critics, opinionators and lovers of free pizza — come out and exercise your right to vote! And discuss! Movies!

This Friday, May 4 at 5:00 PM — the first Friday of May — we’ve turned the reins over to YOU, the Pizza and a Movie faithful. Teens from this spring’s Film Teen Reviewers and Critics (TRaC) program will be hosting the evening and leading discussion about the slips, slaps, sticks and jokes of our May theme: the COMEDY EDITION.  In addition to three of the greatest comedies of all time, the Film TRaC crew will be curating a special intro of film shorts —- just like back in the day, when people went to the movies, and they’d always get a bonus cartoon, skit or some other film goodness.  Just to prep everyone for the main event!  So, it’s not really just one film this month.  We’re serving up BONUS movies, too.  So, come out this Friday at 5:00 and see what they’ve come up withu. As always, the three main films on the menu will go up for mob vote — YOU DECIDE what we watch — and then we’ll break it down in discussion afterward, as we always do.

Never been to Pizza and a Movie Night before?  That’s crazy!  But, here’s what you can expect:  

  • A Great Movie: ‘Cuz we aim to please. But you won’t know what we’re seeing till you arrive and cast your vote for ONE of the THREE films based on May’s theme:COMEDY EDITION.
  • Discussion: We break it down after the movie. Come share your opinion with other arts-lovin’ people. The post-film discussion is usually led by Eric Ost, High 5’s Director of Pizza & Movies, and  Ronald F. I. Porto, a film expert, industry professional and all around good human — but this month it’ll be the members of Film TRaC!
  • Free Tickets to High 5 shows! Dance, music, theater, museums, the works! Here’s your chance to pick up FREE tickets to the best of the best arts events around NYC.
  • Pizza: Delicious pizza and ice cold soda. (Okay, the soda’s not ice cold and the pizza is just pretty good, but hey. It’s free.

Look for the High 5 crew in the Sony Public Atrium at 5:00 PM. We’ll have a High 5 sign-in and (of course) pizza. At 5:20 sharp, we’ll head on up to Sony’s beautiful 78-seat, high-tech screening room to watch our film.
