In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we dive into the magic of movies under the stars with Brady Hahn and Nick Weissman, two driving forces behind the Ojai Film Society's revitalized Summer Series at Libbey Bowl. Brady, a holistic strategist and community connector, and Nick, an acclaimed documentary filmmaker and producer, share their passion for cinema, community, and curating experiences that resonate long after the credits roll.

This summer, the Ojai Film Society is hosting a stellar lineup of free screenings open to the public, with the theme "Imagine a World," transforming Libbey Bowl into a moonlit movie palace. Highlights include:

• "Sally" – a revealing look at Sally Ride, the pioneering astronaut, who made immense sacrifices for the sake of her private life. June 25th.

• "Neverending Story" – the beloved classic work of that speaks to the power and poetry of imagination. August 8th.

  Plus other classics and soon-to-be-classics through the end of September.

We talk about what makes film such a powerful communal ritual, how Ojai’s creative spirit shapes the selections, and why showing up for stories — together — is more important than ever. We did not talk about walking meditation techniques, Korean banchan or the 1984 California Angels all-star lineup.
