Join the 153 artists, film lovers and supporters who have donated to our campaign so far, and get a custom poem from our long time friend and collaborator @thepoetryfox. Here’s how:

1. Go to bit.ly/skinandbonestheater 

2. Donate at the $118 level or above

Then sit back, to receive a custom poem in your mailbox. 

Something handmade, a little unusual, and completely one of a kind. Kind of like what we’re building.

Making space costs money. We do it anyway.

Shadowbox was our first answer to rising costs and the high barriers that keep experimental work from finding a home. Skin and Bones is the next chapter: built specifically for indie film and the people who make it.

Our doors aren’t open yet. But our mission is already alive.

Join us in building it. Link in bio → email list + more.

When we look back to 20 years ago, it actually makes complete sense that we’re opening up a movie theater…
