Support downtown's beloved cinema and film fest!

We're Tanner & Mary Ott and we're helping raise funds for Ragtag and True/False this holiday season! 

Ragtag is where olive oil on popcorn, a plush loveseat, Wes Anderson and wine all converge. Were you lucky enough to see a film in the early days on Tenth Street at the Odd Fellows Building? My parents took the whole family there in 2005 to see the Squid and the Whale. It was a bizzare film for me as fourteen year old, and I still remember the way that experience made me feel. That’s my first memory of Ragtag. If you have been to Ragtag, you have surely been challenged, inspired, and educated. If you haven’t been to Ragtag, send Mary and I a note and we will make it a date! 

Now in the old Coca-Cola bottling plant on Hitt Street, Ragtag continues to have an enormous impact our community. Giving to Ragtag Film Society means supporting creativity & art, adaptive reuse of historic buildings, and the community spirit that makes downtown Columbia special! These are values that we share and care deeply about. If this place has ever moved you, challenged you, or inspired you, please consider giving back so it can continue to do the same for generations to come.

Call to Action: Please make a contribution to the Ragtag Film Society before New Year’s Eve and/or share this page along with your favorite movie or experience you have had at Ragtag or True/False.
