Moxie Cinema sold to new non-profit group

sold

Downtown indie film house Moxie Cinema has been sold to new non-profit entity Downtown Springfield Community Cinema. There won’t be any marked differences immediately for patrons, though founder Dan Chilton said there were some likely improvements to come. The only real change is that it’s not for profit and run by a board with Mike Stevens (of former local music fame with Honky Tonk Chateau) at the helm. “I’m confident that our customers will see, just as we have, that he’s going to be a perfect fit for the Moxie. ,” Dan Chilton said. “There are no drastic, business-changing plans in store, so you can expect the same great Moxie experience you’ve come to know over the last five years.” Dan and Nicole Chilton opened the Moxie in 2004. The move will allow the Moxie more opportunity to grow into the arts community, while affording the founding family more family time.
