Even though Valentine’s Day will have passed, we can still show love for movies. Come chat or play a game to see who is your other film half.

We are playing a game where you are given half a heart that has either the answer or the clue and you have to find your other half. A whole heart is a happy heart!

Mimics World Premiere
2026-02-11 02:30 - 04:30 | Pioneer Center, 100 S. Virginia Street, Reno, California, 89501
Join us at the historic Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts for the Reno premiere of Mimics, a genre-blending horror-romantic comedy starring Reno native Kristoffer Polaha in his directorial debut, written by Reno native Marc Oakley, and featuring a dynamic ensemble cast.

Mimics follows Sam Reinhold (Polaha), a down-on-his-luck impressionist desperate for a break. When he strikes a deal with Fergus—a sinister, strings-attached puppet—success suddenly feels within reach, but at a terrifying cost that threatens the people he loves.

Post-film Q&A with Kristoffer Polaha, Stephen Tobolowsky, MŌRIAH, Austin Basis, producer Ken Carpenter & Marc Oakley

Moderated by Danette Tull

Don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate a film rooted and filmed in Northern Nevada’s creative spirit and hear directly from the filmmakers after the screening.
