Lucky to work with Legends 🙌 Here's a throwback to that time we produced a Cynthia Erivo concert at the iconic Greek Theatre in partnership with National Geographic TV. Congrats Cynthia & Nat Geo on your #Emmy nominations for Genius: Aretha!!
Another BIG announcement from Little Cinema! 🏆
When Amazon Studios came to us with the most amazing #WelcomeToTheBlumhouse brief, they asked us to think in scale, in artful style and truly unique ex*****on. We envisioned a new story world - all made up of small details taken from their film series. We envisioned a techno-pagan science in the attic, an underground nightclub in the basement and twisted theatrical plot in a spiraling virtual house with 10 interactive livestreams thousands of guests. We saw it clearly, and promised an Emmy nomination or their money back.
Well... Our activation is one of the most unique things we’ve ever done...and the Emmy Nomination just became a reality! 🏆
Thank you Amazon Studios and Blumhouse for your vision and partnership in making this happen. Thank you Adam, Anne, Heather, Patrick for trusting us to create something spectacular. Thank you, above all, to our amazing team that brought this vision to life!

As we celebrate Pride this month 🏳️🌈 we also want to call on our community to support two organizations doing important work for the LGBTQ+ community: The Trevor Project & NewFest!
When deciding which LGBTQ+ organizations to support this year, it was important to us to pick one national and one local grassroots org to highlight. The Trevor Project provides resources, crisis support, and su***de prevention services to q***r youth nationwide. NewFest is a NYC-based organization that produces the largest q***r film festival annually, and does year-round work supporting q***r filmmakers and q***r representation in film.
After many years of operating as a DIY arts collective, we are finally in the position to be able to give back and share ❤️ We hope you will join us in supporting these initiatives for Pride 2021!

Those who attended our Blumhouse virtual experience in October 2020 were treated to a entrancing performance in one of the rooms of our 6-story labyrinth. Created as an extension of the Nocturne film storyworld, dancer Taja Riley is accompanied by Camille Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2, Op. 22 while her movement evokes the intimate and brutal rivalry of the subjects of the film.
All in all we created 10 rooms of immersive narrative content in partnership with Amazon Prime Video to celebrate the launch of #WelcomeToTheBlumhouse.

Movement Direction with Noelle Marsh

Mexican surrealist film #TheHolyMountain was equal parts scandalous and groundbreaking when it debuted in 1973 and has been an inspiration for our own work. Fast forward to 2017 when we were invited by the Brooklyn Museum to produce an immersive screening of the film in collaboration with the New York Latino Film Festival. The experience featured performance art magic by Hybrid Movement Company and a live score by Black Lodge.
Those in the know got to catch a special 2nd performance to House of Yes. Swipe for a trip down memory lane 🌀

For the world premiere of #SecretsOfTheWhales, National Geographic TV commissioned Little Cinema & composer Ricardo Romaneiro to create a 22 minute audiovisual re-imagination of Raphaella Thiabaut's mesmerizing score. Our re-imagination combines innovative lighting, projection mapping of clips from the film, and a live orchestration inspired by the sound of whales.
This is the first time in over a year that these musicians got the chance to perform together! Watch the full video on youtube: https://youtu.be/eBV08x1z11M

So sad to hear about the closing of the iconic Cinerama Dome and ArcLight Cinemas 💔 LA will not be the same without them!
ArcLight Cinemas owned 16 theaters and more than 300 screens, including the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood.
ABC partnered with Little Cinema to celebrate the debut of their new Thursday title, Krista Vernoff's Rebel. The event featured a live band performing songs from the series, trivia with show talent, a secure screening of Episode 1, and a live Q&A panel after the show with special guest Erin Brockovich (who the show is based on). It all went down at Little Cinema's headquarters in LA!

One year ago we made the #sagawards shine!✨ In honor of last night’s awards we are looking back to when Little Cinema was invited by TBS & TNT to create the entrance wall for the 2020 SAG Awards.
Our featured artists Darcy Scanlin and Matt Hill created a dazzling explosion of glitz & glamour that perfectly amplified the elegance of the ceremony’s guests. Our creation became the most photographed entrance wall in SAG Awards history! 📸✨

Watch what happened when Little Cinema was tapped to produce the world premiere of Nat Geo's Genius: Aretha. Variety called it a "Queen-worthy mini concert" and we couldn't agree more!
For this special tribute to Aretha Franklin, our team produced exclusive virtual concerts at two iconic venues - the Greek Theatre in LA and the Apollo Theater in NYC, and featuring Emmy-Grammy-Tony award winner Cynthia Erivo. We also created the entire virtual experience, and hosted the broadcast on our proprietary streaming technology.
This show is truly Genius and we were honored to partner with Nat Geo on this event.
