Red Carpet + Screening: Free Cliff Booth Event, Nov 16

Free tickets to a red carpet and a movie do not come around every week. On Monday, November 16, 1iota is offering free ticket requests for a red carpet and screening of a film that puts Brad Pitt back in the role of Cliff Booth, the stuntman he played in a part that won him an Academy Award. This time the story jumps to 1977, and the listing promises a very different Hollywood. If you keep an eye on things happening in Los Angeles that cost nothing, this one belongs on the list.

About the film

The listing describes a picture directed by David Fincher from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino. Alongside Pitt, the cast includes Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Peter Weller. The title art that comes with the event reads "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth," with the Netflix logo above it. That is all the source says about the plot, so we will not guess beyond it.

When and where

The event starts at 4:30 PM on Monday, November 16. The source lists the location only as Los Angeles, California. No venue or street address has been published, so we are not naming one. Screening events like this often announce the address to approved guests close to the date, which is why it pays to watch the email you register with.

How to get in

Tickets are free, but they are a request, not a guarantee. You ask for them through 1iota, the audience service running this one, and you must be 18 or older. Services of this kind routinely give out more tickets than there are seats, so a ticket usually gets you priority in line, not a promised seat. Arrive early and follow whatever instructions the confirmation gives you. The official page is the only place to confirm your status, so use it rather than a repost.

Planning your evening

A 4:30 PM start on a Monday means traffic is part of the plan. Leave extra time if you are coming across town, and think about rideshare or transit, since parking near a red carpet is rarely simple. Red carpet nights also tend to run long, with arrivals before the film itself, so keep your evening open. Dress comfortably but a notch above casual, since you will likely be standing in line for a while.

If you are building a list of LA events this weekend and next week, add this one with a note to request tickets early. It is one of the more unusual free options on the calendar, and the sort of night that makes for a good story afterward.
