LIGHT THE LANTERN

bring the movies back to sleepy hollow.

One year ago, a group of neighbors believed this community deserved a place to gather, connect, and experience the power of film together. The response has been overwhelming — and now it's time to prove this village wants it built.

WHY IT MATTERS

More than a Movie Theater

01

For the community

Family nights, local gatherings, and Spanish-language cinema. A living room for Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow — serving 22,000 residents with no walkable theater within 15 minutes of either village.

02

for beekman avenue

An art-house movie theater will draw foot traffic to nearby shops and restaurants, creating a year-round economic engine and a cultural anchor for locals and visitors alike.

03

For horror
fans

Year-round programming and destination spooky events, right where the legend lives.
