It was lights, cameras, action for our latest Adventures by Waltonwood for Crystal. Her adventure had a special meaning as she enjoyed a fabulous lunch before watching Wuthering Heights at the theater. She and her husband owned and operated a movie distribution company where she developed a passion for film of all genres. Crystal remembers the large cans of film that had to be transported to all of the theaters. After more than 10 years away from the big screen, Crystal was excited to immerse herself in the experience once again. She enjoyed a red carpet entrance, setting the stage for a wonderful afternoon filled with nostalgia and joy.
