Front Porch Cinema: Film Independent at the Pier is ushering in its second annual lineup of films, kicking off the four-week program with Los Wild Ones, a documentary about Los Angeles-based Wild Records.
"This documentary, filled with great music and large personalities, follows (founder Rob) Kennedy and his extended family of young, talented Latino musicians as they face an uncertain future for the label they all love," according to the release.
Doors open at 6 p.m., while the film begins at 7:30 p.m. There will be food, drinks and even lawn chairs for rent. There will also be live music by the Rhythm Shakers.
The next three weeks are filled with fun movies as well. Sounds like it could be a fun date night, or check out week 3 (Oct. 11), when the program features a super-family-friendly film, Snoopy, Come Home!
Here's the schedule, with info from the release:
