Movie Night at The Yard
Have you heard the good news?? Short Stay Studio has been selected to host The Neighborhood Watch as a program during the NJ North to Shore festival! on June 26th.
Neighborhood Watch: A Night Outdoors at the Yard is an open-air movie night bringing together film, music, and community in one of Newark’s favorite backyard spaces at The Yard.
We’re transforming the space into a cozy outdoor cinema lounge with blankets, beanbags, couches, and chairs centered around a large screen. In collaboration with Gallery Retail (creators of Newark First Fridays), this will be a silent cinema experience, meaning you’ll watch the film through wireless headphones for high-quality sound and an intimate vibe.
The night kicks off at sunset with DJ sets from Newark's favorite sound curators. We’ll start the screening with Short Stay Shorts—a quick showcase of emerging filmmakers—before getting into the main feature. The best part? The community helps pick the film through Instagram voting.
You’ll also be able to grab food and drinks from The Yard and shop with a few local vendors throughout the night.
Hope you guys can make it !
