We recently partnered with @makeitbay to host a community screening of @goatmovieofficial at the historic Grand Lake Theater, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

For a century, the Grand Lake has been a gathering place for audiences and storytellers in Oakland. Bringing the film into a space with that kind of history made the evening even more meaningful.

Here’s one more look at that special night in Oakland!

The Bay showed out.
Last week, we came together in Oakland for a special community screening of GOAT hosted by @stephencurry30, @unanimousworld @SonyAnimation and @MakeItBay - with special guests @eatlearnplay, @oaklandrenaissance, and @makeawishsf bringing the community heart that made the night what it was.

Seeing young folks light up around a story that resonates beyond basketball is exactly why we do this.

This is what’s possible when storytelling + community align.

#GOATmovie is NOW IN THEATERS. Don’t sleep on this one. 🐐

WE LOVE movie premieres! 🎬✨

The Oakland screening of GOAT at the historic Grand Lake Theatre was nothing short of magical. Huge thank you to the Curry family and Unanimous Media for hosting such a beautiful, star-studded premiere.

From Steph and his teammates showing up with their families to the incredible energy in the building, it was truly a celebration of community, culture, and storytelling.

This movie is AWESOME. 🙌🏽 Adults will love it just as much as the kids — it’s one of those films that hits for everyone.

Major shoutout to @makeitbay for producing this Town Experience ... the whole squad was repping The Town the right way. 💛🖤

🍴catered by @hilscookingcatering

GO SEE IT! 🎥✨

The first episode of my new Internet series is HERE!

It’s called “WHO’S WITH ME AT…?

This is “WHO’S WITH ME AT THE FOOD BANK?”

Me and a small crew (producer @_amazingracie and cinematographer / editor @lisa.weaklim) filmed this on Election Day at the Alameda County Community Food Bank in East Oakland. This first episode features Executive Director Regi Young. We talk about the best ways to support food banks, the huge number of volunteers it takes, their want for more volunteers, and how his mom “volunTOLD” him to get into public service.🤣

More to come soon! Thanks to Regi and the whole crew at @accfb! Support their work and learn more at the link in my BIO.

Find other food banks to help at @feedingamerica.

Please share this far and wide, especially if you want more content like this from me.😁❤️✊🏿

Przeglądaj historie na Instagramie w tajemnicy

Instagram Story Viewer to proste narzędzie, które pozwala na ciche oglądanie i zapisywanie historii Instagram, filmów, zdjęć lub IGTV. Dzięki tej usłudze możesz pobrać zawartość i cieszyć się nią offline, kiedy chcesz. Jeśli znajdziesz coś interesującego na Instagramie, co chcesz sprawdzić później, lub chcesz oglądać historie pozostając anonimowym, nasz Viewer jest idealny dla Ciebie. Anonstories oferuje doskonałe rozwiązanie do ukrywania swojej tożsamości. Instagram po raz pierwszy uruchomił funkcję historii w sierpniu 2023 roku, która szybko została zaadoptowana przez inne platformy ze względu na jej angażujący, czasowo ograniczony format. Historie pozwalają użytkownikom dzielić się szybkimi aktualizacjami, czy to zdjęciami, filmami, czy selfie, wzbogaconymi o tekst, emotikony lub filtry, i są widoczne tylko przez 24 godziny. Ten ograniczony czas sprawia, że historie cieszą się dużym zaangażowaniem w porównaniu do zwykłych postów. W dzisiejszym świecie historie to jeden z najpopularniejszych sposobów komunikacji na mediach społecznościowych. Jednak gdy oglądasz historię, twórca może zobaczyć Twoje imię na liście oglądających, co może stanowić problem związany z prywatnością. Co jeśli chcesz przeglądać historie, nie będąc zauważonym? Tutaj Anonstories staje się przydatne. Umożliwia oglądanie publicznej zawartości Instagram bez ujawniania tożsamości. Wystarczy wpisać nazwę użytkownika profilu, który Cię interesuje, a narzędzie wyświetli ich najnowsze historie. Cechy Anonstories Viewer: - Anonimowe przeglądanie: Oglądaj historie bez pojawiania się na liście oglądających. - Brak konta: Oglądaj publiczną zawartość bez logowania się na konto Instagram. - Pobieranie zawartości: Zapisuj dowolną zawartość historii bezpośrednio na swoje urządzenie do użytku offline. - Przeglądaj najważniejsze: Dostęp do Instagram Highlights, nawet po 24 godzinach. - Monitorowanie repostów: Śledź reposty lub poziom zaangażowania w historię na prywatnych profilach. Ograniczenia: - Narzędzie działa tylko z publicznymi kontami; konta prywatne pozostają niedostępne. Korzyści: - Przyjazne dla prywatności: Oglądaj zawartość Instagram bez bycia zauważonym. - Proste i łatwe: Brak potrzeby instalacji aplikacji lub rejestracji. - Ekskluzywne narzędzia: Pobieraj i zarządzaj zawartością w sposób, którego Instagram nie oferuje.
