Built
here.

Light Inside Cinema started in Polk County.

Our founder is a veteran who found purpose on a film set when he needed it most. He started Light Inside Cinema here to give other veterans that same opportunity.

We serve veterans in Lakeland, Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Bartow, Haines City and across Polk County, and we bring our sets all over Central Florida.
