On Saturday, Jan. 14, the Central Coast Film Society is partnering with Red Bull Media House to host a screening of the HBO documentary, Dear Rider, at the Palm Theatre in San Luis Obispo. The screening starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be followed by a Q-and-A with some of the filmmakers behind the documentary, which examines the life of innovative snowboarder Jake Burton (pictured).
The event’s sponsors include Allan Hancock College, the San Luis Obispo Film Festival, the Cambria Film Festival, and the Rotary Club of Arroyo Grande. General admission to the screening and Q-and-A session is $10 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets to the event are available online in advance at my805tix.com.
