REEL RESILIENCE: "Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened"

Join us for Reel Resilience: A Film Series for Entrepreneurs, a monthly gathering designed to inspire, educate, and empower entrepreneurs. Each event features a compelling film or documentary exploring themes of entrepreneurship, resilience, and innovation, followed by thought-provoking discussions on business growth, financial success, and overcoming challenges.

This series welcomes all business professionals looking to gain insights, build connections, and be part of a thriving entrepreneurial community.

Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened is a gripping documentary that explores the rise and rapid unraveling of one of the most infamous event marketing failures in recent history. Directed by Chris Smith, the film takes viewers behind the scenes of the ill-fated Fyre Festival — a luxury music experience in the Bahamas that spiraled into chaos and deception.

It features firsthand accounts from organizers, influencers, contractors, and attendees, revealing how hype, social media, and unchecked ambition created a disaster that left lasting consequences.

More than just a cautionary tale, Fyre offers sharp insights into branding, entrepreneurship, accountability, and the power — and danger — of selling a dream without the foundation to deliver. It’s a timely reminder of what happens when vision outpaces integrity.
