Special Screening with Kevin Pollak
Kevin Pollak will be on hand to talk about his independent venture
which the LA Times describes thusly... "Kevin pollak’s Chat show is
streamed on the internet, and there’s no reason to stop a good
interview - not for time slots, not for commercials and certainly not
for censors. The long-format show is unlike anything else on the web or
certainly, with its unfiltered conversations, on broadcast television."
