OUR STORY
The Cinetorium Story began sometime around 2003-2004, when founder Jason Wingate (left) felt the need for a specially designed auditorium with built-in surround-sound cinema for his own creative endeavours.
Jason, however, did not begin pursuing Cinetorium as a business or movement until early 2009.
Then in 2013, after many years of struggle with his own creative, personal, and even spiritual life, Jason turned to God in prayer, surrendering his Cinetorium vision.
In return, God gifted Jason with a new vision. That Cinetorium would be seen as a sacred place of sanctuary and retreat, where young musicians, filmmakers, and performing artists alike can find refuge and redemption, express themselves through the God-given talents.
Jason also received a promise from God that a miracle soul mate would come into his life and help him build the Cinetorium. The promised would be fulfilled when Jason met Timothy Clark - aka TimoC - (Right) on a local film set.
On 30th May 2020, Tim and Jason got together for a personal and sacred picnic where they performed a ritual through holy communion, united through the Light and Blood of Christ. Tim and Jason officially became the Cinetorium Brothers - two brothers in Christ, called to become the founding fathers of Cinetorium's United Family - Tim and Jason would select the first four Teen Talents of the Founding Generation, who would work together, producing a selection of 'musical shorts'; what Jesus calls 'visual parables'; as well as the world's first Cinetorium Branch.
Once the Teen Talents come of age, they would grow into Cinetorium's first Youth Angels, leading the first generation of Teen Talents. The Cinetorium Brothers' vision of the arts and movement would be passed down to generations of Teen Talents - expanding Cinetorium's 'United Family Tree'.
This is what we celebrate annually on Cinetorium Day - 30th May.
