57 Screening Room

Last night I headed up to the 57 Screening Room for the premier of my friend’s new film, Brosferatu. The movie is a comical farce on the classic 1920’s silent vampire movie, Nosferatu, in a slightly altered setting, and with an entirely original score written and edited by Bennett Kuhn of Astro Nautico.
The movie was excellent, but was enhanced magnificently by the event space. The reception room was clean and trendy, reflective white walls, soundproofed ceilings, and plush carpeting surrounded us, and glass walls divided the spaces nicely.
The screening room itself was the best part though. Enormous and comfy leather chairs (seriously, United First Class could learn something from these guys), and a gentle slope up to a huge (really, really huge) screen, accented with a director’s platform.
Overall the experience was lovely, and I can’t imagine enjoying a venue more. It may have been the people and the excellent film, but either way, the result is the same.
Check out the film, too:
