Houselight

The AI that runs your theater

Scheduling, marketing, audience engagement, revenue optimization. One autonomous agent, built for independent cinema.

The Problem

Running an arthouse shouldn't require a corporate back-office

Independent theaters compete with streaming platforms, multiplexes, and shrinking attention spans. The operators who keep real cinema alive are buried in spreadsheets, stitching together tools that were never designed to talk to each other. The result: less time curating, more time managing.

What Houselight Does

Intelligent Scheduling

Optimizes screen utilization across distributor windows, audience demand patterns, and event calendars. No more spreadsheet Tetris.

Autonomous Marketing

Writes and sends audience emails, posts to social, and promotes screenings based on who showed up for what, and when.

Audience Intelligence

Learns your audience over time. Knows who loves A24 horror, who comes for foreign docs, who brings friends to late shows.

Revenue Optimization

Dynamic pricing recommendations, concession attach rates, event revenue tracking. Every seat and every screen working harder.

You curate the films. Houselight runs everything else.

Independent cinema survives on taste, community, and obsession. The operational grind shouldn't be what kills it.
