The space was incredibly cool with an old Hollywood vibe. Michelle one of the folks who runs it was great to work with and extremely responsive. The tech guy that was there for us for the whole film premiere was also very cool, knowledgable and easy to work with.
Fantastic venue. Easy to work with and had everything we needed for our short film screening. Great experience and would absolutely use again!
We had a blast of a time doing a movie screening the theater space for my birthday. The staff was extremely helpful in making the event go off without a hitch and I look forward to doing it again sometime!
