Cine Casual’s Founder and Executive Director was invited to speak at the Knight Media Forum — marking a powerful full-circle moment.

More than 700 people filled the theater for the screening, but the experience extended well beyond the film itself.

From sold-out screenings and internationally renowned guests to gatherings that brought neighbors together across the county, dozens of partnerships, and even our first community class—2025 was a year of meaningful growth and connection.

Over the course of five stops, Cine en los Barrios turned parking lots, schools, and apartment complexes into outdoor cinemas filled with laughter, connection, and joy.
