A Good Story

On Saturday, April 25, Athens gathers at Ciné for an evening with Viewfinders on PBS—a celebration of film, perspective, and the power of a well-told story.

This Ciné fundraising event brings more than just a screening—it’s an immersive night built around conversation, creativity, and community. Guests will enjoy a lively discussion with filmmakers Chris Greer and Paul Daniel, alongside Bert Wesley Huffman of Georgia Public Broadcasting.

The evening includes a screening of Viewfinders episodes—plus a sneak peek premiere of the season finale—followed by a reception, open bar, and plenty of reasons to linger a little longer. Red carpet attire is encouraged, with step & repeat moments and photo ops adding to the energy of the night.

And like any great story, this one doesn’t just unfold on screen. It’s something you taste, share, and experience together.

A Taste of Something Thoughtful

A Good Story Foods will bring a collection of bites—simple, memorable, and rooted in flavor.

Guests will be greeted with:

• Classic cheese wafers—savory, crisp, and unmistakably Southern
• Spiced pecans with just the right balance of warmth and sweetness
• Handheld empanadas that deliver bold flavor in a perfect, one-bite moment
• Georgia pecan pralines—rich, buttery, and steeped in Southern tradition
• Brown butter chocolate chip cookies—warm, rich, and just indulgent enough to feel like a treat

The Reception: Where the Conversation Happens

Following the screening, the night transitions into a reception catered by Epting Catering—designed for connection, celebration, and a touch of red carpet energy.

Expect:

• Artfully arranged charcuterie
• Seasonal light bites
• An open bar to keep the conversation flowing
• Step & repeat moments and photo ops to capture the night

It’s not a sit-down dinner. It’s an experience—one that invites guests to move, mingle, and stay awhile.
