You’ve waited long enough… OMG! DINNER & A MOVIE makes a triumphant return to O Cinema with another mouthwatering menu by the culinary masterminds at Michael Schwartz Events!

 

After a long break, we're delighted to bring back the launch of one of our most beloved signature events, OMG! Dinner & A movie returns to O Cinema Wynwood this summer in partnership with our great friends at Michael Schwartz events, the creative team behind Miami's culinary hotspots like Michael's Genuine and Harry's Pizzeria, under the direction of James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Schwartz. Join for a special evening celebrating terrific food and film. As always, you can expect a high-end experience in a relaxed atmosphere with all taking place on-site at O Cinema Wynwood. Dinner is served starting at 6pm in old school cafeteria trays where you'll be able to eat in your seats and the film will get underway at 7pm. Your ticket includes your meal and the film with soda and water and beer/wine available for purchase.

THE FILM:

 

I AM THE BLUES

 

Take an atmospheric and immersive musical journey through the swamps of the Louisiana Bayou, the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta and the moonshine-soaked barbeques of North Mississippi Hill Country. A favorite of the film festival circuit and making its Florida Premiere at this special event, I Am The Blues takes audiences into the world of the African American blues legends, many in their 80s, still making music and sharing stories in the Deep South. From sunny front porches to spirited church halls, the last of the ‘blues devils’ including Bobby Rush, Barbara Lynn, Henry Gray, Jimmy "Duck" Holmes, Lazy Lester and Little Freddie King share their songs and a spellbinding oral history. Capturing the distinctive landscapes and romantic spirit of the South with an expert lens, director Daniel Cross follows the Mississippi River past Graceland, past Muscle Shoals, and into the beating heart of the blues.
