Totnes Cinema CIC - Expert Impact

Jane Hughes

Totnes Cinema CIC

Met with Preyal Dewani

We are a small independent cinema in our local town with big aspirations. Run as a social enterprise and supported entirely by the generosity of local people, we want the cinema to embrace the character and colour of this unique town, offering a cultural, educational and entertaining experience in the heart of Totnes.

Our goal is to provide social connection through the shared experience of excellent cinema, coffee and jazz; a relaxed social space for all ages where you can meet to chat before a performance of film or theatre and linger to reflect afterwards.

Preyal was able to step in quickly with an accurate analysis of a challenging time for our business, support and encourage my thought processes and outline straight forward actions as the next steps. I wish I could have her sitting on my shoulder in future meetings.
