✨ GIFF is up in lights at the Glendale Galleria - in the very spot where we’ll be presenting our special panel with the Casting Society this Saturday!

The timing couldn’t be better: Next month, the Galleria celebrates its 50th anniversary. Since opening in 1976, it’s established itself as one of the most popular shopping destinations in the country, with several claims to fame to its name, like welcoming the world’s first Apple Store, Panda Express, and Disney Store, AND drawing annual attendance numbers that even surpass Disneyland!

We’re proud to bring GIFF into this space during its milestone year and add a little movie magic to a place that has been part of Glendale’s story for five decades.

Join us on Saturday - and look for GIFF on the OTHER big screen while you’re there!
