Craft Club Cinema: ’50 First Dates’
August 30 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Creative Pinellas is partnering with The Common Thread Yarn Shop & Café and Green Light Cinema to bring you Craft Club Cinema, a monthly film series for the creative, restless, and curious. Inspired by the growing global movement of “ADHD Cinema,” we’re throwing out the rules of the traditional theater experience and releasing the pressure to sit still, stare ahead and stay quiet.
We’ll provide lap desks and tasks lights, and you can bring your knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, quilting, sketch pad, adult coloring book, etc. Enjoy your favorite classic films in an environment built just for you — lower volumes, brighter lights, and the freedom to multitask with crafts.
The first film in the series is 50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Here’s the synopsis from Green Light Cinema: “Henry Roth is a man afraid of commitment up until he meets the beautiful Lucy. They hit it off and Henry think he’s finally found the girl of his dreams, until he discovers she has short-term memory loss and forgets him the very next day.”
Craft Club Cinema is part of Creative Pinellas’ new Creative Wellbeing initiative designed to harness the power of our local cultural community to boost mental wellness, comfort, and joy. Whether you are neurodivergent, a chronic multitasker, or just someone who thrives with a project in hand, these screenings will be your safe and fun space to create.
