Last week was a whirlwind of excitement, as CinemaCon lit up Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas! Though the annual trade show is a business-forward event for theater owners and exhibitors, the major film studios were present to talk about the exciting slate of films expected to light up screens for all larger and smaller theaters across the country. One of the larger presentations of the week was Amazon MGM Studios. With much gratitude to Amazon MGM, The Nerds of Color was invited to cover the red carpet for their presentation to talk to the stars and filmmakers behind some of their biggest films of the year!
