Representing the collective inaugural offerings from Drama House Productions, LLC, and Spate Pictures, a special media and industry screening entitled "A Night of Three Short Films" will take place tonight, September 27th at 7:30 pm to celebrate the dynamic trio of inspiring dramatic films -– "Within" (produced by Spate Pictures in partnership with Drama House Productions and Zamorano Productions ); "El Abuelo" and "With Me" (produced by Drama House Productions). The filmmakers and cast will participate in a Q&A directly after the films are shown.

This special event is a unique opportunity to view the works from three up-and-coming filmmakers who each bring these touching family tales of survival and hope to the three-day exclusive, limited engagement of matinee showings of the films in Santa Monica at Laemmle's Monica 4-plex, from Wednesday, September 26th through Friday, September 28th.

"The three short films each portray real-life drama that normal, everyday families could face, so we know many people will relate to these films," states Patrick Scott, founder of Drama House Productions. "It's perfect that we are premiering the three short films together, as they each represent the basis on which Drama House Productions was founded –- presenting realistic family dramas."

Alex Lane, founder of Spate Pictures says, "We're thrilled to be collaborating with Drama House Productions. In addition to providing entertainment, we believe that films ought to inspire the audience to be a better version of themselves. People need that now more than ever and these three short films share our vision of that."
