Pop-Break’s Saidy Lopez caught the entire, glorious day for us.

Here’s a little bit about the great outfit known as BBQ Films — “We are first and foremost fans. Fans of music, fans of film, and fans of the stories that make us who we are. We are a creative community (called the film crew) that is over 200 strong that come together to celebrate these pictures. Our producers and our film crew work with the spaces we select to build worlds around the films we screen.”
