Sunset Cinema & COVID19

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the 2020 festival season was forced to reschedule / reinvent itself several times... For safety reasons, the festival was eventually reimagined as a drive-in movie event with a virtual component.

Postponed...

As with everything, COVID-19 forced Blackbird to cancel / postpone the entire festival just a month before the event... In response, the 2020 interns put together a short video message.
