Go beyond the screen and deep into the making of a cinematic legend.

Join us for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience that uncovers the creative chaos, logistical magic, and unforgettable memories behind The Goonies. This special event features a rare gathering of individuals who helped bring the film to life from the inside out:

• Mark Marshall – Former assistant to Steven Spielberg during the production of The Goonies and author of Goonies, Droids, & Killer Whales: Observations and Anecdotes from My Time with Spielberg, Lucas, Donner, and Warner Bros. Mark offers unmatched insight into the high-level coordination, studio dynamics, and on-set moments that shaped the film. 

• Mick Alderman – Author of Three Weeks with the Goonies, Mick brings a boots-on-the-ground perspective of the production process in Astoria, sharing local stories, set experiences, and the whirlwind timeline of filming. 

• Jack Johnson – The original illustrator for The Goonies, Jack opens the vault on early concept art and design work that helped visualize and shape the world of the Goon Docks before it ever hit the screen. 

Together, these guests will guide you through a multimedia presentation and candid discussion that reveals the heart, hustle, and behind-the-scenes logistics that made The Goonies an enduring classic. Whether you're a die-hard fan, a film buff, or simply curious about what it takes to create movie magic, this event is your all-access pass to the story behind the story.
