NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—This year’s Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF) might have been postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but that didn’t stop organizers from holding a sold-out, drive-in world premiere screening of its opening night film on the rooftop of a local shopping mall.
The surfing documentary “A Life of Endless Summers: The Bruce Brown Story” was originally set to open this year’s 21st annual festival in April. The festival was first pushed to August, then delayed indefinitely during the first week of the month due to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
