Join us for a private screening of Joy Ride in the San Francisco/Bay Area!

SAPAAC is excited to announce a private screening of Joy Ride, one of the most anticipated films of the summer. Join us for this viewing!

Per Rotten Tomatoes, this movie is a hilarious and unapologetically explicit story of identity and self-discovery of four unlikely friends who embark on a once-in-a-lifetime international adventure. When Audrey's (Ashley Park) business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the aid of Lolo (Sherry Cola), her irreverent, childhood best friend who also happens to be a hot mess; Kat (Stephanie Hsu), her college friend turned Chinese soap star; and Deadeye (Sabrina Wu), Lolo's eccentric cousin. Their no-holds-barred, epic experience becomes a journey of bonding, friendship, belonging, and wild debauchery that reveals the universal truth of what it means to know and love who you are.

Time: The movie start time is at 7:00 pm. We’ll start gathering at 6:15 pm and then head into the theater at 6:30 pm. After the movie ends (around 9:15 pm), feel free to walk around the downtown San Mateo area with other alumni. Event organizers will head to SomiSomi for desserts (1 block from the movie theatre) if others would like to join.

Location: Cinemark San Mateo (437 Century 12 San Mateo, 320 East 2nd Ave, San Mateo, California 94401). The movie theatre is 2 blocks from the San Mateo Caltrain stop and there are many public parking garages.
