Why sponsor Rooftop Films?
Film sponsorship is a powerful means of communicating with the young, fashion-conscious, media-aware generation that sees cinema as a highly regarded source of entertainment and a valuable means of cultural interaction.

Sponsoring Rooftop Films is an effective way for your company to:
• Increase positive recognition by consumers and brand loyalty
• Reach a targeted and savvy audience
• Stimulate sales and trial usage of products or services
• Demonstrate social responsibility and cultural involvement
• Affiliate with a hip, community-conscious, non-profit organization
• Entertain clients, prospects, and employees in breathtaking outdoor cinemas across New York City
Target Market:
• highly educated
• culturally involved
• artistic trendsetters
• typically between the ages of 21-38
• different themes each week means different audiences: (youth, political, regional, hipster, etc.)
LOCATIONS & VENUES:
Venue locations include the heart of the hip Williamsburg neighborhood in North Brooklyn; the hot Lower East Side; the West Village/Tribeca; and the emerging arts district of Gowanus, between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens in South Brooklyn.

Media Coverage:
Rooftop Films has been profiled in Time magazine, The New York Times, Time Out New York, The Independent, New York Newsday, New York magazine, The Village Voice, on the Sundance Channel, New York 1 and elsewhere. Screenings are held all summer long—which means a long boom of media mentions, spotlights, and listings (unlike film festivals, which are over all too quickly after promotional materials are distributed).

Association with Rooftop Films affords sponsors highly targeted property for reaching their desired audience. Whether your organization is local to New York City, or national in scope, Rooftop audiences are exactly the people who sponsors want to reach: they’re on the cultural forefront and are early-adaptors of styles and trends. If you capture this audience, they’ll win over the rest of your demographic base. Rooftop Films’ unparalleled combination of entertaining films, stunning views, and convenient locations ensures that your participation will be seen by thousands of influential young New Yorkers.
