The Jean Cocteau Cinema features a marquee that lights up with red, art-deco-inspired neon lettering against a dark brick facade. George R. R. Martin bought the abandoned building in two thousand thirteen to save it from demolition. He spent two years renovating the space, installing comfortable seating and a digital projection system to show independent films. The writer wanted a venue where locals could see movies that rarely reached mainstream theaters. Now, it operates as a hub for both independent cinema and community gatherings.
