The Rain-Filled Movie Night That Got Away

Big Ben Movie Night Highlight 1

I was pleasantly surprised when I lately learned from social media that a business and commercial center situated at the heart of the National Highway is staging a movie night where anyone can enjoy a marathon of not-so-exciting indie flicks for free. At the same time, I was a bit worried that it is possible for the event to be hindered by moderate to heavy rains brought by the enhanced monsoon. Luckily, it pushed through and became a moderate success. 

The movie night, in my mind, is literally one of the many interesting events that got away due to some unforeseen and unexpected circumstances. But looking at what I have seen on the commercial center's official Facebook page, it looks like many people were able to brave the rains and refresh themselves with a dash of big screen goodness. What really make the overnight indie showcase a bit bizaare is that they were able to enjoy watching the films with free beer and popcorn plus special entertainment during breaks, and I feel a little jealous about it upon seeing such a revelation.

Unfortunately, I literally don't have the time and freedom to take a little look at the event. On the other hand, Facebook is the only way for me to look at what happened there. It was overwhelming to learn that it is held right at the back of the commercial center which happens to be an avenue by the name The Courtyard where anybody can relax, chill out and do business while having a breath of fresh air. Honestly, I was very surprised that one of my favorite hangouts during my childhood years come up with such an occasion considering that one of its anchors is an event management company.

I may have missed something that got away, but I'm sure that many trubists are wondering about The Courtyard and could possibly ask me about its whereabouts. Well, all I can say that it is in my hometown and you need to look at a map to find it. By the way, I forgot to mention that the movies showcased on a rainy Friday were made by aspiring filmmakers from my hometown and has a good standing in the local indie film scene. Heavy rains may have hindered me, but I'm glad that a movie night literally catches anyone's attention.
