ABOUT
ABOUT
Movies have always been my teachers. As a child, I learned about the world not just from people around me but from the stories on the screen. I grew up watching films that showed me what courage, perseverance, and hope look like when tested.
I’ve always believed that film is more than entertainment. It’s a visual language that reflects who we are, what we fear, and what we dream about. Every story, whether set in the past, present, or future, carries quiet lessons about what it means to be human. Most of the time, we don’t even realize how these stories shape the way we see the world and each other. That’s the quiet power of cinema. It reaches us in ways words can’t.
Second Saturday Cinemas began with that belief in mind: to give our community a place to come together, watch meaningful films, and talk about the ideas and emotions that stay with us long after the credits roll.
See you at the movies--Garett
