Beautiful film center and wonderful staff. Love that they are here for the community! Do note they have no parking. There is usually a lot of parking in the area, but for very popular movies it may be tough to find a spot. Also, for popular movies, the queue is outside. So for inclement weather etc be prepared.

Amazingly well curated films. Very comfortable seats. Devoted the film as an art form that engages.
