Unique Theater Experience at Kinowerks
About this space
Designed for filmmakers, cinephiles, and creative professionals, our 50-seat theater is more than just a screening space—it’s a versatile cinematic hub built to meet the highest industry standards. Whether you're premiering a DCP, Blu-ray, or playing through HDMI, our top-of-the-line NEC projector ensures every frame shines in vivid detail, while 5.2 surround sound immerses audiences in every moment.
Enjoy the luxury of 32 plush reclining seats, with room for additional portable seating upon request. The soundproofed walls create the perfect environment for an uninterrupted viewing experience, whether it's a private screening, live event, or business presentation.
This rental also includes our stylish lounge area that fits 200 people, perfect for pre- or post-event networking, as well as four private, single-use restrooms. Accessible via a grand staircase or ADA-compliant entrance, the space ensures everyone can be part of the experience.
Located just half a block from Fireside, a beloved late-night bar and restaurant, our theater makes it easy to transition from a stunning event to a lively after-party. Whether you're here to screen, create, or collaborate, this dynamic space is designed to elevate every project and bring your vision to life.
Looking to take your event to the next level? We offer multi-cam live streaming, professional recording, and a seamless laptop plugin for presentations (available for an additional fee).
Based on your event needs, additional staffing may be required for a fee. Please consider load-in and load-out part of the rental hours.
