The Power of The Cinema

or how ideas become reality.

Jake Martinez
For several years we have been working on a virtual theatre, inspired by the summer of 2020. There had always been discussions of adding more tools, features, and social mechanics- never to any avail. Well, here they are.

Any art rich town like ours deserves more connection and modern resources for the community. Our love of cinema brought us here first. Like any great film, this process has been an amalgam of our skills and ideas from over the years. In fact, many great films have inspired us directly. We want to connect the Austin film scene like never before.

Many more features are being planned. If you have any you'd like to share, shoot us an email.
We hope you like the site.
