Delancey Street Screening Room

I second the reviews by members «X P.» and «Su P.»
The person handling the reservations-​Rebecca is a serious source of frustration. Very poor responsiveness and reliability. If you depend on her for an important event-​Good Luck!
It took her days to return my call. When I finally got to talk to her live, we didn’t make any progress. She asked me to email her my very simple questions instead of answering them there and then and be done.
Fine.
I sent her the email like she requested. Over 10 days now and she has not replied.
Super offensive in any case. Utterly unacceptable as a business practice.

This place seems lovely and I have only heard great comments about this venue.
That said, for you to get to the venue you have to go through management and that’s what really sucks in here.
The person in charge of the screening room for bookings and customer service is awful. Her name is Rebeca and she obviously has no idea how to deal with customers.
She will never pick up the phone. Not once. She will call you back (if you are lucky) maybe two days after you left the message.
She won’t provide an email address or a fax number, according to her due to the nature of the foundation.
So any paper work is done through regular mail. Really??? It’s 2014!!!
She lied twice and said she had sent me the agreements but I never received them so I ended up talking to a supervisor.
After this I had to deal with two more people big things got a little better. If you have an important event don’t use them or you will be stressed out all the way.

My co-​producer and I rented this screening room for a private screening of our indie feature we held this past weekend. What a great experience.
The screening room is a bit tough to find, as it’s tucked into the back of a courtyard in a large complex, but once you find it, it’s great. Super plush screening room with nice technical amenities. The staff is really nice, and the place is actually a non-​profit designed to help former addicts.
The rental rate was extremely reasonable and I’d certainly recommend other filmmakers use the theater for their own screenings in the future.

This review is only for the management of the Delancey Street Screening Room as I won’t be renting their venue after my conversation with the management. Whomever I talked to on the phone was not friendly. Even though the only way you can reach them is by phone, she was very eager to get off the phone with me. Her answers about the prices weren’t consistent during the phone call and did not match the prices on the website.

What a great room for a movie première! We went to see the opening of «The Green Bandits» and had a really great time. I really enjoyed the experience. The sound system made it like you were in the action and had plenty of comfortable seats for the crowd. The reception area was perfect for snacks and socializing. Everyone that worked there was top notch. Awesome location and you can even stop by the Delancey Street Restaurant before or after for a great meal.

Great space for screenings! Absolutely love this place!
I’ve always had great experiences here and the staff is great. My organization held a screening here and the whole process was smooth. The odd thing was they didn’t have a contact email so everything was conducted via phone calls. But no biggie.
Coordinating the screening room was the catering manager, who is a total sweetheart. mThere is a great lounge in the front where you can set up tables with food. Super close to various restaurants on the Embarcadero, so before and after you can grab food.

This is very intimate, small theater that is off the beaten path. In fact I was looking for it and couldn’t find it because it is behind a gate in the back of the complex that is 600 Embarcadero. At first I thought it might be the room above the restaurant but it turned out to be down the street. Saw Chef Rene Redzepi give a very interesting and educational talk about his upbringing, influences, and path to his restaurant NOMA being considered the best restaurant in the world. The theater is a little older than I thought it would be and the seats/​exists and a few other things are showing their age but it’s still cool as a small venue where there’s not really a bad seat in the house

It was a last minute YEE and one kind of event that I always enjoy so much that I hope Unilocal does more– movie screening.
The movie «Touching Home» is almost as reflective as the vision of the foundation, that the 2 main actors’ father was an alcoholic and had struggled to fight to life’s end. The movie, while with some parts modified to fit the budget as well as for other reasons, was very, very touching.
The theater is situated right inside the Delancey Street complex, fantastic and comfortable seating with a very nice reception area that makes it more like a conference room than a theater. To support the foundation the theater can be rented, as well as the foundation’s restaurant café can be booked as well as they have an art gallery /​bookshop.
On related notes to the movie, the post Q&A with the 2 young Miller writers /​actors /​directors /​fund raisers talked about their real lives during the period, as well as how they got the script to be shown to the 3 major actors.
Even the movie has been screened at different times and parts of the country, the brothers were candid at the post screening with a great sense of humor. Their tale did not end with the movie. Their tryout and fundraising were especially interesting and inspiring. One will soon realize that while without a degree, without being able to have a lifetime career in a professional sport, an alternative path of life, dreams to become directors and writers are possible by reading the how-​to books and being persistent and not giving up.
Their respect and a way of self-​healing by making and devoting this movie to their father, as well as the in-​person interview show how much they are still down to earth and in touch with their true selves.
Big thanks to Ruggy and Jessica for organizing and hosting such a fantastic event! The foundation can definitely get more support as the 2 brothers said, everyone can somehow relate to their story, that many know someone with addictions.

I came her for an advanced screening of Touching Home (
) the movie was great and so was the venue.
Things noted:
* They had red carpet runners leading from the street to the entrance past corridors and courtyards with water features
* 180 degree windowed pre-​event area with a bar; however, there was no bar service at our movie :(
* Nice-​sized screening room with a stage & curtain and San Francisco scenes done in carpet on the walls (the carpet thing may sound suspiciously trashy but it was actually pretty cool)
The street parking is decent and you do have to hunt a little to find the place since it is situated behind a gate and out of view; but that just adds to the cool feeling you get when you go to a private screening room to view a film.

I had the pleasure of screening Touching Home at the Delancey Street Theater last night. First off the theater was decent size for the purposes of intimate viewing and you really feel like you are getting the special treatment in its’ secluded location.
As for the Touching Home film debut that I was able to attend – fantastic. I really enjoyed the movie and the fact that the twin brothers, Noah and Logan Miller who wrote, directed and starred in the film with Ed Harris did a Q&A after wards. It was wonderful and I really hope that Touching Home makes it out to a larger audience, because it has a compelling story that many would be able to relate to.

This screening room is one of the best deals in town. You pay by the hour for the projectionist. They seem to have just about all the equipment you might need, believe it may seat about 150. Nice.

A bit hard to find, or rather an ‘intimate setting’ for your screening, as this room is tucked back in a courtyard off of Embarcadero.
The place is affordable for screenings and the sound and screen are crisp… but the seats in spite of their cushiness really lack the leg room of your average private theatre.
Added bonus is the proximity of this theatre to Crossroads café so you can get a beer and some tapas before catching your screening.

Went to see the unveiling of a friend’s short film here last night (and another friend’s animation piece — both great!). Delancey Street was a great venue for this — the reception space was clean and open and had a great layout for serving drinks and apps. The theater itself was also clean, the screen nice, and the seats comfy. Staff at the event was soooo friendly and helpful.
All the way around, a great venue for showing your work!
