HALF MOON BAY, CA The Fourth Annual Beach Break Film Festival (BBFF).The 2025 <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/films" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beach Break Entertainment Film Festival program</a>, running December 28–30 in Half Moon Bay, California presents a highly-curated selection of cinema that addresses urgent social issues and celebrates artistic prestige, featuring films connected to the legendary Coppola cinematic family and an urgent slate of advocacy-focused documentaries.&nbsp; Buy your Christmas and Chanukkah gifts now and share a moment on the beautiful San Mateo Coast.&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.beachbreakentertainment.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">beachbreakentertainment.com/</a> for tickets and more information. 
The three-day event, guided by the theme of human resilience, opens with the lovely film of kindness, <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/schedule/691f65063b53e86bfbbe865a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Power of Small</a>.<h3>In a world longing for compassion, imagine gathering a diverse group, endowing them with unexpected financial means, and setting them on a single mission: spread kindness. No rules, no supervision – just empathy as their guide.</h3>Don't miss this beautiful film featuring Atherton's <a href="https://thepowerofsmallmovie.com/about" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Terri D. Bullock</a>, as it&nbsp;chronicles the journeys of six individuals out of fifty, each gifted with resources to spread kindness and generosity. What unfolded defies expectations. Opening Night we share the critically acclaimed feature <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/schedule/691f666284d5efed8e290ce2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fairyland</a>, an adaptation of Alysia Abbott’s memoir produced by Sofia Coppola and directed by Palo Alto's own Andrew Durham. This poignant story chronicles a unique father-daughter bond in bohemian San Francisco, later shadowed by the AIDS crisis. This is preceded by The Last Gift, a short film by Ryan Neisz, a three-time Emmy Award–winning producer, director, and editor known for his exceptional work in television development and storytelling.&nbsp; The Last Gift is a deeply human documentary that follows the journey of Jim, one of the first participants in the Last Gift rapid autopsy program at UC San Diego.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Advocacy, Democracy, and the Fight for Freedom</h3>
The festival's lineup provides a platform for critical national dialogue. The centerpiece documentary, <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/schedule/6921e4af35baf56195ab9224" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Librarians</a>, directed by award-winning social issue filmmaker Kim A. Snyder, tackles the "unprecedented wave of book banning" and censorship across the US. Snyder’s work arrives with immediate prestige, as her concurrent documentary, DEATH BY NUMBERS, was recently nominated for the Best Documentary Short Film at the 97th Academy Awards in January 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The festival closes with <a href="https://beachbreakfilmfestival2025.eventive.org/films/6903011e37ccb91547c636d1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brother Verses Brother</a>, a radical cinematic experiment directed by Ari Gold and inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s "Live Cinema" concept. The Tuesday program also features Magic Hour, a dramady acing the career of the new director, Jacqueline Christy and starring Miriam Shor (Younger).&nbsp;Many of the subjects and directors will be with us to share their stories and entertain us along the way.&nbsp; Live music between each of the films, and a catered Closing Night Reception for all, catered by Cameron's Pub and Inn Restaurant with live music and a DJ.&nbsp; Don't miss the fun.&nbsp; Buy your stocking stuffers now.&nbsp; Visit our website for more information.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Now in its 11th season, Seraph Brass was founded by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden with a mission to showcase the excellence of women brass players and highlight musicians from marginalized groups, both in personnel and in programming. Winners of the American Prize in Chamber Music, the group has been praised for its “beautiful sounds" (American Record Guide), "fine playing” (Gramophone), and “staggeringly high caliber of performance” (Textura).
The ensemble tours nationally and globally, and the 2024-25 season highlights included performances in Peru, Mexico, South Korea and across the U.S., as well as residencies at Yale University School of Music and The Frost School of Music in Miami. Members of Seraph Brass are passionate about music education and hold teaching positions at the University of North Texas, Shenandoah Conservatory, Texas State University, and Texas Lutheran University. In each of their tours, the group works to provide educational outreach to local schools.
Seraph Brass performs a diverse body of repertoire, ranging from original transcriptions to newly commissioned works and core classics. Their newest album was released in March and features new works for brass quintet and compositions by Jeff Scott, Reena Esmail, Kevin Day and Kevin McKee. Seraph Brass is a Yamaha Performing Group.
Reception one hour prior to performance, with complimentary hors d’oeuvres and soft drinks, and cash bar for wine and beer. The Harker Concert Series launched in 2010-11 as part of the school's ongoing commitment to share thoughtful, entertaining and engaging events with the greater Bay Area community.

Amara is where the Mediterranean comes to play! A sun-soaked garden, bold flavors, and a vibe that pulls you in and keeps you there. By day, it’s the place for long, lazy brunches and families sharing plates in the shade.

One visit won’t be enough and that’s exactly how we like it. Our Philosophy Food &amp; Drink At Amara, the food and drink share the same philosophy start with the best ingredients and let them shine. We work with local farms and the weekly farmers market to source peak-season produce, ensuring every plate is as fresh, vibrant, and nourishing as it is delicious. Cocktails follow the same principle, mixed with market-fresh herbs, citrus, and spices into creations that feel inventive yet effortless. It’s quality without pretension, made for people who truly care about what’s on their plate and in their glass. Space Amara is designed to transport a sunlit garden, airy interiors, and cozy corners are perfect for lingering. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rugged coastlines and warm hospitality, our space blends natural textures, lush greenery, and flowing water to create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. It’s where you can sink in, slow down, and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Events at Amara From long, lazy brunches to lively Thursday DJ nights, Amara offers experiences as dynamic as its setting. Our garden and private spaces host everything from intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, while seasonal events like Diwali dinners or chef’s table tastings make every visit feel unique.
