In the spirit of Reverie’s mission, “To precipitate positivity in the communities we serve”, our film series serves as a conduit to connect our communities, building awareness, forming alliances, and combining our resources to collectively help to improve the quality of life for those around us. Films are selected intentionally to connect audiences to novel causes, to promote ideas worth sharing, to illustrate opportunities to help, and to inform us about ourselves. By connecting with relevant local non-profit organizations, we collaborate to broaden awareness of the many opportunities to help within our communities.

Each film we select is connected to a monthly theme. Themes encompass one or more of the many great causes worthy of our awareness. Our non-profit partners share a common thread of identity that may be apparent in the theme of the film. Our intention is for films to attract considerate audiences that can benefit from becoming more aware of local causes of interest.

For July, our non-profit partner is the The National Federation of the Blind - Kansas in celebration of Disability Pride Month. As blind people, they understand blindness is not the characteristic that holds them back. Every day they work to raise low expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles that hold the back from their dreams.  They create a network that advances their members and all blind Kansans.

Reverie supports Tallgrass Film Festival through annual sponsorship and the film series to help introduce the festival to a broader Wichita audience. All films are open to the public.
