Our Mission

Gathr's mission is to create a worldwide marketplace enabling talent, event organizers, venues, and audiences to come together to find and create great experiences.

Our Story

We Started as an Event Cinema Company for Independent Artists
Gathr Films launched in 2011 as an event cinema company providing independent artists with a way to self-distribute their films. By 2014 filmmakers had direct access to arthouses and any of the top 50 theater circuits in the country, enabling them to book screenings and hold premieres all over the country.
We Helped Filmmakers Connect to Their Audiences and Drive Impact
We’re proud to have been a small part of helping these amazing films reach their audiences: The Central Park Five (2012), Girl Rising (2013), The Square (2013), Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet (2015), Minimalism (2015), Walk With Me (2017), Free Solo (2018), and On The Basis of Sex (2019).
In Response to COVID, We Created Gathr at Home™
When movie theaters started closing all over the country, we built an exhibition platform for live online premieres called Gathr At Home™, so filmmakers had a cinema-like venue for exhibiting their films. These premieres included pre and post-screening talks, panel discussions, and film forums.
Gathr was (Re)Born
In 2021, we opened our event platform to anyone who wanted to share their talent or expertise with the world. We created a platform for talent, event organizers, and venues, to collaborate with one another, in order to create great experiences for their fans.
Looking Forward
In the past couple of years we’ve built tools like crowdfunded and hybrid events, to make it easier and less risky to host events and to reach larger audiences. Looking forward, we want to create a marketplace for all of the amazing talent and events that are being created on Gathr—a place where new fans can be born.
