This past Monday, ChooseATL in partnership with FX Network, hosted an intimate screening for season three of FX’s hit show, Atlanta. This event, held at Atlanta’s premier luxe movie theater – IPIC, brought out Atlanta’s entertainment industry and influencers to celebrate the long-anticipated series. Guests were welcomed to the pre-mixer with an open bar featuring crafted Atlanta themed cocktails, while mixing and mingling with key tastemakers of the city. DJ Jahlion Sound of Hot 107.9 kept the vibes going, playing Atlanta hip-hop classics, as guests snapped photos at the custom Georgia peach wall.
Following the mixer, guests entered IPIC’s plush theater, to be seated and order complimentary entrees such as chicken & red velvet waffles, fajita quesadillas and more. Majic 107.5 & Hot 107.9’s top radio personalities, Ryan Cameron and J-Nicks, welcomed everyone with opening remarks before the lights dimmed and the screening for episodes one and two began.
