HI-San Francisco Video Premiere Party (March 9)

Posted by Molly on Feb 18, 2010

Hostelling International - San Francisco is proud to premiere our new promo video, which is actually more of a short film (because if you’re gonna do it, do it up right).

What happens when a director recruits his ex-girlfriend for a video gig, and pays her in donuts? Come to the premiere party and find out!

Action, romance, hijinks — all this plus a keg o’ brew and Thatcher’s gourmet popcorn. Join us!
