A special message from Raphael Sbarge!

ONLY IN THEATERS, a film by actor/director Raphael Sbarge, is an intimate and moving journey taken with the Laemmle family, spanning nearly three years of challenges, losses, and personal triumphs.

“ONLY IN THEATERS ISN’T JUST A CELEBRATION OF THE LAEMMLES AND THEIR LOVE OF SHARING CINEMA BUT THE AMERICAN DREAM. AT A TIME WITH MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THE FILM BUSINESS, THIS FILM COULDN’T BE MORE IMPORTANT”

– LA Daily News

“ESSENTIAL VIEWING FOR EVERY FILMGOER.”

– Film Threat

Laemmle Theatres, the beloved 84-year-old arthouse cinema chain in Los Angeles, is facing seismic change and financial pressure. Yet the family behind this multigenerational business – whose sole mission has been to support the art of film – is determined to survive.

“THE STORY HERE IS BEAUTIFUL AND COMPLICATED, ONE IN WHICH THE TWIN WEIGHTS OF LEGACY AND CALLING BEAR DOWN ON THE NEED TO SURVIVE IN CHANGING TIMES”

– LA TIMES

“…2022’S MOST EMOTIONAL THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE”
