Cinema expertise, from inside the business.
We advise cinema operators, venues and developers on the questions that decide whether a cinema works: the concept, the auditoriums, the seating, the food and drink, the events and the programme. Also for theatres, conference venues and the architects and private clients behind them.
By the hour or by the brief. No retainer, no obligation to buy or build with us.
Advice from someone who has run the cinema.
Our advice comes from the cinema floor, not from a desk. Years of running auditoriums, foyers, bars and events, and of building partnerships with the brands and organisations around them.
We know what an audience notices, what a team can deliver on a busy Saturday night, and what makes a cinema pay for itself.
Eleven years in cinema operations, last as theatre manager of Pathé Arena in Amsterdam.
Seven years as Head of Partnerships, now consultant for projects abroad.
Six questions that decide a cinema.
Concept and feasibility
Is there an audience, what kind of cinema fits it, and how many screens and seats make sense. A clear concept before money is committed.
Premium Small Format
Small, high-end auditoriums with fewer seats, more comfort and a higher ticket price. Where they fit in your venue and how to design them.
Seating and auditorium layout
Sightlines, row spacing, seat types and capacity, balanced between comfort and revenue.
F&B and experience
Food and drink in the foyer and the auditorium, service at the seat, and the guest journey from ticket to exit.
Events in the cinema
Support in organising events at your cinema, from Ladies Nights and premières to private screenings and corporate evenings.
Programming and local community
A programme that fits the audience around you, built with local partners, schools, associations and recurring series.
A trusted voice before you commit.
You're planning a new auditorium, a refit, a screening room or a cinema at home. You've spoken to contractors and integrators. You're not sure what to believe, what to spend, or what questions to ask. We give an independent assessment of the room, the brief and the proposals, so you can move forward with confidence.
An engineering partner for your design.
We work with architects, interior designers, operators and developers who need a cinema specialist embedded in their process, without hiring one full-time. We advise on room geometry, seating, acoustic treatment, equipment selection and AV infrastructure at design stage, before decisions become expensive to reverse.
Infinity Seating
Cinema seating for every room where an audience sits down.
Private Cinema Studio
Private cinemas designed and built around how you want to feel.
