Cinespia celebrates 10 years of cemetery movies
For ten years now, LA residents have been lining up to get into Hollywood Forever Cemetery. They aren't waiting to pay their respects, or visit a famous grave, but to see a classic movie under the moonlight - sometimes just a few feet from where the stars of the film are buried. Off-Ramp producer Kevin Ferguson talked about the 10- year anniversary with John Wyatt. Wyatt founded Cinespia, the group that organizes the cemetery screenings.
Each Summer, thousands of film fans flock to Hollywood Forever Cemetery at dusk for Cinespia.
