Film Education
Learn directly from filmmakers, animators, and special effects artists. Through workshops curated by the Creative Educators Network, speaking panels, and Q&A sessions.
Interactive Experiences
Walk into real film environments, play with scaled miniature sets, and try your hand at creating a bit of movie magic as you step inside the creative engine behind filmmaking.
Community Block Party
Walk the red carpet, check out iconic movie vehicles, grab food from local merchants, browse through curated goods from local vendors, and watch outdoor movie screenings right in the heart of downtown Denver.
“Cinema Toast House is well aligned with our 2026 citywide goals to build a more vibrant, inclusive, and connected Denver where arts and culture serve as catalysts for community engagement and joy.”
