MAKE A REEL DIFFERENCE

The Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center is Lincoln’s only independent film theater, bringing the best of cinema to our city. A sponsorship for The Ross makes it possible to not only to screen films—contemporary indies, beloved classics, avant-garde flicks, and more—but also allows us to offer thing like free admission to families during our annual summertime Family Film Fest, giving the next generation an opportunity to enjoy the magic of cinema at no burden to parents.

Sponsorships also support the Norman A. Geske Cinema Showcase, Lincoln’s connection point to the larger world of filmmaking. Over the past 50 years, the Geske Showcase has brought over 275 film professionals—directors, producers, actors, and cinematographers—to Lincoln, where they can accompany screenings of their films  and meet with students at Lincoln Public Schools, the University of Nebaska-Lincoln, and other community groups, bringing global cinema right to our doorstep.

For an annual sponsorship contribution of $1000 (that’s just $83 per month!) you’ll get premium logo placement in front of each of the screenings that happen over the course of a year, putting your name in front of thousands of Ross moviegoers—a cultured and community-loving group, who love to support local and go out on the town.

You’ll also receive placement right here on our website, which receives visits from 56,000 unique users every year, and a place in the rotation of our featured “Sponsor of the Week” on our marquee.

Plus, you’ll get the rosy feeling that comes with making movie magic happen right here in Lincoln.

We’re big fans of our sponsors, and we love to shine a spotlight on them whenever we get a chance. Support them, visit them, and help us keep our community connected.
