Exciting news! The highly anticipated 4:30 Movie opens in theaters across the country today! This heartfelt film explores the beauty and complexity of falling for a first love—something that so many of us can relate to. I recently saw the movie at the premier and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It perfectly blends nostalgia, comedy, and beautifully told storytelling. I’m not sure if it’s because the story resonated so deeply with me or because my son, Austin, plays the lead character, but either way, it’s a must-see!.. I hope you can catch it this weekend! 🎬🍿🎥 https://lnkd.in/e2T8-BHy

We hope to see you there!
