About
Our Impact
It all started in 2015, when we hosted our very first Mystery Movie Mini-thon. The idea was simple. Host a movie night for our friends at a local theater with any proceeds of the event being donated to charity. Wanting to focus our efforts locally, we decided to start the Reel House Foundation was born. At the Reel House Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of cinema to inspire, educate, and unite communities. Our mission is to foster a vibrant community centered around the love of film in Fort Worth while providing cinematic experiences to at-risk and underserved children in our area.
