As a 501(c)3, we need sponsorship support to keep our costs low and provide education and filmmaker support programs. Anything from a film sponsor to a year round supporter can help make a difference!
Members are the lifeblood of Tallgrass with support of our organization year round which gives you perks like exclusive first looks at films, free Tallpasses and discounts.

How early should I arrive for a typical showing?
We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes prior to a film’s start time so you have time to get your ticket, purchase concessions, find a seat, get comfy, and turn off your phone. We don’t have 30 minutes of trailers like at a larger theater.
