Ohio Goes to the Movies is a statewide film celebration presented as part of America 250-Ohio, bringing more than 250 free screenings and events to communities across all 88 counties. It highlights Ohio’s foundational role in the birth of motion pictures while celebrating the filmmakers, stories, and shared moviegoing experiences that continue to connect Ohioans today.
When our team learned the concept of Ohio Goes to the Movies was the vision of Stephen George and that it took over 20 years to see it come to live, it made the ex*****on of this event even more important to us.
Under the direction of Yopko Penhallurick, bringing this vision to life required assembling some of the best in the business to help realize Steve’s vision...a party in the birthplace of Thomas Edison…Milan, Ohio.
So many vendors brought their A-Game to make this live broadcast of this event possible.
