A Project with a Big Purpose!
Not too many people can say they funded an art cinema!
Would you like to learn about the benefits of becoming an investor in our local art cinema?
It does not take a fortune to support Artistica Cinema with a small private loan and become a passive private lender!
You support art for the next generation, a part of history and timeless tradition of film, and a local business with a sustainable and frugal business model where everyone involved is doing it for the purpose not the profit.
If you think you might be one of the few that would like to make a big difference for the art and tradition of our community then we hope you would consider learning more about how we protect your investment and minimize the risks.

Meet The Team

Suman Tripathy
Partner
Suman grew up in Odisha, India in an environment of art, film and music surrounded by her mother’s school of traditional art and Indian classical music. Dancing, singing, and movie re-enactments were an everyday part of life. Her father worked in both education administration and produced various tv series.
Suman was involved in painting, Odissi dance and even hosted a tv show at the age of 14. Since she was a young child she organized talent contests with tickets to fund the events with many parents and their children participating.
She went on to study filmmaking in Chennai, India and continued her studies at Concordia College - New York. Today she is an active film editor as well as an artist, exhibiting her work. She has since also founded Artistica International, Inc. a non-profit organization that promotes artists and filmmakers through live events and film festivals.

Chris Steingraber
Partner
Chris grew up inventing, taking things apart and fixing them. Having moved with his family to spend part of high school in Uruguay expanded his perspective and experiences. Hoping to one day teach he pursued and completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Montclair State University to become a math teacher. His goals led him to continue his education in Mechanical Engineering at NJIT which was more along his passions and progressing towards a new path & goal of owning his own business.
After taking an opportunity to learn business entrepreneurship through starting a personal financial fitness education company with his brother Jon Steingraber he started to learn about business development. He also became an active partner with his brother in the real estate investors member group the New Jersey Real Estate Social Network (NJRESN). Always wearing many hats and with passion in the technical and creative he went on to start his own media production company with previous co-worker Joseph Kessler. For six years this business has been a lean and successful company continually progressing in deliverables, projects and it's technology with works aired on TV and and spanning stories, documentaries, short films, commercials, infomercials, and social media productions.
His skills in business development, cinematography & filmmaking, hands-on abilities, and resources within the real estate industry are attributes that he brings to the table as well as being an future educator in the film school to be operated right after school at the cinema.
