Ridge will be holding a live screening of the movie throughout the evening on Saturday at MJ's Bar followed by a release party at Eleven Lounge Nov. 2 at 9 p.m. where he will appear alongside co-star Blu Kennedy.
"I've been so busy putting together the movie and working on our follow-up, 'Beyond Malibu,' I haven't been able to hang out with my friends, my fans, my supporters in a very long time," Ridge said. "This is just my way of thanking them for standing by me. No fire, no hoops. Just me hanging with my friends and celebrating the launch of my new company. I hope to see all of my friends there."
