THE CONCEPT

Cultural habits changed in the 2020s.
Now most people prefer streaming films in the comfort of their home, instead of “going out to the movies”.
We want to disrupt this ‘new normal’ with a fresh concept featuring an element of surprise.
We won’t have audience members. We’ll give out clues so treasure hunters can go after what they want.
We’ll create pleasant atmospheres for artists to exchange points of view with others, instead of formal Q&As.
We’ll adapt all kinds of venues to provide unique experiences that have some relation with the film’s subject.
Will it work? Come see for yourself (if you can find us) and share the pleasure of discovering new talents.
