Westford’s Media Club just pulled off an epic first-ever movie night, and it was nothing short of a blockbuster!
As the proud president of the Media Club, I can say this night was something special. Our goal? To bring students together for a night of fun, laughter, and, of course, a great movie. And boy, did we deliver!
But let’s rewind a bit. How did we choose the movie? Well, we didn’t want to pick just any film. We wanted something that everyone would love. So, we got the student body involved! We sent out a form asking for movie suggestions, and after sifting through all the great ideas, we narrowed it down to the top five. Then, the final decision was left in the hands of the students. ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ won by a landslide—cue the excitement!
Now, no movie night is complete without snacks, right? Enter our awesome sponsors, Tiffany Foods, who hooked us up with 200 packets of popcorn. That’s right—200! And we didn’t stop there. We had a budget for decor and drinks, so we transformed our auditorium into a cozy cinema, with a vibe that was all about good times and great friends.
One of our media students even designed custom tickets. These weren’t just any tickets—they were keepsakes, capturing the essence of the night. Everyone who attended got to take home a little piece of the night as a souvenir. As the big day approached, the buzz around campus was unreal. Students couldn’t stop talking about it, and by the time the night rolled around, the excitement was through the roof. We were expecting a decent crowd, but what we got was way beyond that. The turnout was amazing, with more students showing up than we ever imagined.
The atmosphere was electric. Laughter, cheers, and a few spontaneous bursts of dance numbers filled the room. When the credits finally rolled, the applause was deafening. But the best part? Everyone was already asking,
“When’s the next movie night?!”
“Our rst movie night wasn’t just an event; it was an experience—one that brought our student
body closer together and left everyone hungry for more.”
The Media Club can’t wait to roll out the red carpet again and make the next movie night even bigger and better!
