Remember pay phones? Discovered an actual working one at Philippe’s in downtown. - Favorite memory of pay phones was popping in a quarter and calling my mom to pick me up from football practice and hanging up fast enough to get my quarter back!

Wow can’t believe it has been a year since @onenightinlamovie premiered at the @paffnow! Such a joy to be apart of this passion project and to have witnessed the incredible talent on this film.
