It’s amazing where music will take us. This program and ‘THE OPENER’ are proof. 💫
We had a great time hosting a screening of the documentary ‘THE OPENER’ and a panel discussion moderated by Emmy Award-winning animation veteran Dan Povenmire, featuring Grammy Award-winning artist Jason Mraz, multi-hyphenate musical artist Philip Labes, and filmmakers Jeff Toye and Sunya Mara about the creative process behind the film.
Jason Mraz and Philip Labes also each took the stage to perform a beautiful acoustic set.

For the past few months I've had the pleasure of performing at @jitterscoffeepub . With friends on stage and behind the scenes, we've been able to realize a dream of bringing a music scene back to the coffee shop.
Special thanks to @campsnapcamera for the instant nostalgia of last week. Looking at life through their lens is a leap forward in technology while simultaneously time-traveling backward to the more stylish and simpler times of content creation. Loving this look + edit by @dream.ops .
Big thanks to the generous Jitters staff and to our local community for joining us in making this a reality. And though I will soon be on tour, there is still so much more in store, and more to be done. We’ve only just begun.
Tickets for the Oceanside Intl Film Fest special screening of THE OPENER are going fast!
