HOSTED BY Sarah Ontiveros & Captiv Studios

Get ready for a night of thrills and chills! Join us at Captiv Studios for an exclusive screening of the sci-fi short film “Cass,” which was shot right here at our studio. The film has been making waves in festivals, and now it's coming home for a special showing alongside the premiere of the behind-the-scenes featurette: “Creating Cass.”

But that’s just the beginning—stick around for our Halloween party, complete with a live DJ, cocktails, and light bites.
