Admin here, it's my birthday so—according to The Little employee handbook—I get to do whatever I want. My favorite movie, THE MATRIX, is screening on 35mm film Saturday, Aug. 29, and I'm going to tell you about it!

🕶 THE MATRIX changed the game with it's visual flair and groundbreaking action—truly it's "The One." You can catch me levitating when that final Rage Against the Machine needledrop hits. And while this is a great viewing atmosphere for those who love the iconic 1999 film, this is also an ideal time for those who haven't watched it. What better way to cross something off your blindspot list, than by watching on glorious 35mm film in a packed historic theatre?! Whoa, indeed!

🎟 Tickets available online at thelittle.org and at the box office. Part of The Little's "The Wachowskis: Masters of Maximalism" film series.
