Griffin Colapinto’s New Feature Film Is Premiering In Los Angeles Tonight

Tonight at the Waterfront in Venice, Los Angeles will get a look at the new feature length film from California’s youngest World Tour star, Griffin Colapinto. 

Filmed and edited masterfully by Jacob Van Derwork, “Why Not” was filmed over 2019, and stars Griffin’s tourmate and longtime bestie, Seth Moniz, as well as Ethan Ewing. 

We got a sneak peek at “Why Not,” a few weeks back, and were left slack-jawed, not only by the three young turks’ performances (the West Oz section is masterful; the Hawaii highlight reel will leave you reeling), but by the candid personality on display from all three of these lovable little fuckers. With guest cameo’s from Brother Andino, as well as Stab‘s dearest West Oz water(lens)man, Tom Jennings, you don’t want to miss the film. 

“Why Not” will be dropping exclusive on Stab soon, but if you’re in LA, don’t miss tonight’s premiere. On the Venice Beach bike path, movie starts after sundown. Come tip a few back with us.
