It's time for the Old School College Jam: Represent Your Yard at the Hollywood Black Film Festival 2012 Opening Night!
The Hollywood Black Film Festival 2012 Opening Night will present a fun-filled night of college flashbacks with the opening night film, "Note to Self." The film centers around a handsome and popular student-athlete who embarks on a journey of self-realization while navigating the choppy waters of a love triangle.
What can be better than watching a film that reminds you of your college days, than an after-party that allows you to relive it!
Join the cast and crew of "Note to Self" as they REPRESENT their colleges, universities, fraternities and sororities at the themed 2012 Hollywood Black Film Festival Opening Night and After-Party. How will you represent your yard?
Don't be scared to reach into the back of your closet and pull out that favorite college sweatshirt, don that HBCU hat hiding on the top shelf or dust off your fraternity or sorority jacket and join us for our "Old School College" night.
Get in the spirit of college days and represent your yard!
