Thanks to everyone who came out, hi-lighting our unified experience at the Godzillafest Film Festival
at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco!
July 18-20, 2025!
It was another great weekend and it is always fun to see familiar (and some new) faces out at the show.
The big monster-hit of the weekend was the sold out, jam packed screening of Invasion of the Astro Monster (aka; Monster Zero). Always nice to be surprised by a big turn out for one of your favorite movies!
A big thanks to Adam Bergeron and the staff and crew of the Balboa Theater for another great job! And to our vendors and artists who always make for a great time!
We will are excited to know we will be back July 17-19,2026 for another Balboa Theater film fest.Hope to see everyone there!
