What Is the Founding Circle?

The Founding Circle is a limited group of early supporters helping transform The Film Lounge from a successful Sundance preview into a permanent, year-round cultural space in Park City.

This is not a donation drive.
It is an invitation to build something enduring.

Founding Circle members are those who believe in:
• Independent film as a cultural force
• Intimate, human-scale experiences
• Spaces designed for conversation and reflection
• A vibrant, year-round creative community in Park City

Why Now?

The Sundance preview confirmed strong community appetite for a thoughtfully designed, independent cinema experience.

The next phase requires disciplined planning and investment.

Early support allows us to:
• Conduct architectural and site feasibility
• Secure and design the right permanent space
• Develop curated programming and filmmaker partnerships
• Build the operational foundation necessary for long-term success

This is the most important phase in determining what The Film Lounge ultimately becomes.
