Hattie’s club launch night will be Wednesday 18th February, at the Victoria Hall, Ealing Town Hall,London,W5Steve McQueen has not only personally endorsed this screening, he has collaborated with Priscilla Mensah (founder of Hattie’s Club) in writing a poignant letter to be read out, on the night. This will undoubtedly add great sentiment to this debut event. Choosing Ealing as a venue for the launch was a no brainer with its rich heritage of film making stemming from Ealing studios. It is also particularly significant as both Steve McQueen and Priscilla Mensah both come from the Queen of the suburb’s.
