Robert Herrera, founder of The Mill, the community-driven workspace and the Theater N’s upstairs neighbor in the Nemours Building, approached Zach Phillips, filmmaker and founder of the Kitchen, about possibilities for the theatre.

They decided to equip Theater N with a new state-of-the-art digital projection and sound system, along with the capability to access films from every independent film studio. Creating a vision for Theatre N of not just being Wilmington’s indy theatre, but a leader in the re-imagination of what an independent theatre can be, and making Theatre N a cinema destination in the region.

Herrera spoke about Theatre N’s new leadership: “Since opening The Mill 6 months ago, I have met and worked with dozens of organizations. This is the most exciting collaboration I have taken part in. I can not help but feel like there is momentum building in and around downtown Wilmington…”
