Bring people together around film.
Every memorable screening begins with someone who wants to share a film they believe in. Sometimes that's the filmmaker. Sometimes it's a guest curator. Sometimes it's a festival.
A hosted event is a real night at the cinema: a showtime on the calendar, a lobby that fills as the hour approaches, a film everyone watches at the same moment, and a live room after, with you at the front of it.
Next time, it could be your night.
One showtime, played in segments.
Every event is a program: a sequence of segments you run live from the stage. Here's how a classic premiere night plays out:
-
Doors open
The lobby fills as showtime approaches. Chat warms up and you set the scene for the night.
-
The feature
Lights down. Everyone watches the same print at the same moment. No pausing, no watching alone.
-
The Q&A
The filmmaker takes the stage. Questions queue up, hands go up, voices come on.
-
The hang
Credits don't close the room. The conversation runs as long as the crowd does.
Start from a familiar shape, or invent one.
A format is just an arrangement of segments. These are a few nights the stage is built for, and yours doesn't have to look like any of them.

Your film meets its first audience, and you're in the room when it happens.

The program is modular: films, live talks, presentations. Stack the segments differently, or pitch us one we haven't built yet.
