Black Panther premiered in 2018 and ranks as the 3rd highest-grossing film in the US. The tragic loss of the main character, Chadwick Boseman, in 2020 left fans wondering if the highly anticipated sequel would come to fruition. As time grew near to the premiere date of the sequel, fans from all over chimed in on how to best give tribute to the beloved Chadwick Bosemen. In tribute, fans consented to honor Chadwick Bosemen’s legacy and life by donning white, African, or royal-colored apparel when attending the highly anticipated sequel. Seeing
private screening events for the upcoming sequel in larger cities, Epic Entertainment & Media partnered with local small businesses to provide an EPIC private screening event for Black Panther Wakanda Forever on November 11, 2022, to the Eastern Shore.

After reaching out to multiple local theaters to determine where to host the private screening, we were elated that we went with the Flagship Premium Cinemas in Ocean City, Maryland as they were the best to accommodate the private screening with lush accommodations which included heated plush recliner seats, comfy love seats for the front row theater enthusiasts and delicious concession options. Not only was the facility top-notch, the manager, Angie Miller, and each of her staff were excellent to work with, professional, and most importantly, they thought outside of the box. Our patrons, all received unlimited popcorn and drinks with a custom event-themed cup provided by Epic Entertainment & Media. Angie Miller and her staff realized that this was a movie that no one wanted to miss, so to accommodate the group, they provided IN ROOM popcorn for the group so that when anyone wanted additional popcorn they didn’t have to leave the room for it! We can’t thank Angie Miller and her staff enough for the great experience we had at the Flagship Premium Cinemas. If there’s another private movie event to be hosted, we won’t think twice when it comes to the Flagship Premium Cinemas and they
come highly recommended. For your next private screening, call Angie Miller at 443-664-8483

opportunity that we wanted to take to highlight other local businesses that have already charted a path and to point others in their direction as well. To do this, Epic & Entertainment &
Media held a few raffles just before the movie. Instead of utilizing big corporations, we hand
selected local businesses to highlight and provide patronage to and raffled their product/service to our event participants. The three hand-selected businesses were Nellybeanz

In tribute to the actor Chadwick Boseman, we honored his life as well as the lives of our own
family and friends who have passed on from their individual battles with cancer. We honored them with a moment of silence at the start of the event. We also took a moment to give honor and praise, to GOD for the champions who have battled with and made it through their cancer diagnosis. Epic Entertainment & Media was privileged to give honor to two special ladies this evening. One of whom was in attendance, Ms. Ta’Mar Ayres. She has championed and overcome her battle with cancer. We recognized them both for beginning the champions that they are. These ladies have inspired us in ways that they may not even realize. We continue to send positive vibes and sincere prayers up for them as GOD continues to bring them through full recovery. It was our pleasure awarding each of them with the Epic Champion award, thank you again to Lady Deanine Roberts-Dukes and Ta’Mar Ayres.
