The 2012 WFF & HVFC Soho House Benefit was a great event with a screening of the terrific film Peace, Love & Misunderstanding (opening June 8 in theaters) courtesy of IFC Films.
The evening started off with an introduction by WFF Executive Director Meira Blaustein on the improvements at the Film Center at 13 Rock City Rd and the work that still needs to be done. She then introduced BCDF’s Claude Dal Farra, Peace, Love & Misunderstanding’s writing team Joe Muszynski and Christina Mengert and one of the young stars of the film Nat Wolff.
After the film wrapped, a Q&A was led by Meira where Claude described how director Bruce Beresford came to the project and Nat recounted working with Jane Fonda whom he said quickly became like his “grandma” and humbly detailed his latest roles in a pair of upcoming blockbuster films, working alongside stars like Tina Fey, Paul Rudd and Jennifer Connelly.
After the Q&A wrapped, everyone retired to the Soho House White Room to discuss the picture and network while enjoying hors d'oeuvres,wine, beer and Ketel One vodka.
The event gave a boost to our Capital Campaign but we still need your help to make improvements including a new paint job, roof, heating for the Markertek Screening Room and renovating the upstairs deck.
