Kings County Cinema Society returns to LaunchPad tonight, with some great films with local flavor:

Writer/director Jeremy Engle will introduce his short film “Mosquito,” a coming of age story of a 13 year-old – nicknamed Mosquito by his tormentors – who fights to win their respect on a memorable Halloween night in 1974. Winner of the Spirit of Slamdance prize at last year’s Slamdance Film Festival, MOSQUITO captures the gritty look and feel of NYC in the ’70s... visit mosquitomovie.com to learn more about this great local short.

Local filmmaker Mark Kendall will also be present to screen material from his upcoming feature documentary shot in Guatemala, LA CAMIONETA- LIFE AND DEATH ON THE STREET, and discuss his Kickstarter campaign.

We'll also be showing RAISING VICTOR VARGAS (2002, 88min), a great, underrated slice of Lower East Side life.

TONIGHT! 8PM, FREE, BYOB, popcorn provided.

LaunchPad, 721 Franklin Ave. between Park Pl & Sterling.
