A friendly reminder that camera preps are ALWAYS free at Camera Ambassador. We believe that one of the most important parts of renting equipment is prepping! Prepping is an opportunity to build your camera package in a comfortable, convenient space with access to tools, technicians and additional equipment. This is to ensure that you can get ahead of any potential complications that might arise while shooting and make sure that you are set up for success! Book your next order at Camera Ambassador and be sure to schedule your prep day!

Kartemquin Films invites you to their Open House at the Kimball Arts Center! Join them for light snacks and refreshments to celebrate the opening of their new space.
For over 50 years, Kartemquin’s mission has been to empower the creation of stories that foster a more engaged and just society — turning toward and grappling with the most critical issues of our time.
Dip the bill at Chicago’s only, not-so-secret Speakeasy Cinema.
Every month, this cozy cabaret-style screening treats Chicago film fans to Prohibition-era films, craft cocktails, and live jazz vibes. Get ready for classic gangster flicks handpicked by Raul Benitez, live jazz tunes by Alchemist Connections, and mouthwatering house-made Old Fashioneds that’ll have you purring “the bee’s knees.”
Seating is very limited, tickets include 1 drink token, and non-alcoholic options are available for audience members under 21.
The Chicago Irish Film Festival has been dedicated to presenting the works of Irish filmmakers since 1999. They open for Chicago audiences a window into the color and complexity of Irish life. Contemporary Irish films bring the lyrical and self-reflective richness of a long artistic tradition to bear on unique stories and pressing social issues with a gaze both critical and loving. They strive to include a broad representation of current Irish cinema in both English and Irish language, and encourage submissions that highlight the extraordinary diversity and creativity that is the mark of Irish filmmaking wherever in the world it may occur. Join them from February 27th to March 2nd!
