Would You Host a Dinner Party Inside a Moving Truck?

All they knew was that the event would be promoting Freeform's upcoming series Good Trouble, a spin-off of popular family drama The Fosters. After loading into a van and taking a quick drive up the Hollywood Hills, attendees discovered their dinner venue: three large moving trucks parked in an open-air field directly below the iconic Hollywood sign.
