What happens when an iconic Santa Fe cinema, a world-famous fantasy author, and a passionate team of creatives join forces to reimagine what community entertainment looks like?
In this episode of The Real Santa Fe, Bunny Terry sits down with Guillermo Tilley and Al LaFleur of High Garden Entertainment Group to talk about the transformation of the Jean Cocteau Cinema—a beloved local spot originally revitalized by Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin. From drag brunches and themed cocktails (cotton candy margaritas, anyone?) to improv comedy, curated indie films, and a speculative fiction bookstore next door, this isn’t just a theater—it’s a full-on cultural experience.
You’ll hear:
- How the Cocteau was reborn after the pandemic
- Why their events feel like a “360-degree Santa Fe experience”
- What’s coming next (hint: a new bar and live theater!)
- And why locals and visitors alike should swing by for a cocktail, a show, or just a great conversation
🎬🍸📚 Whether you're a book lover, movie buff, trivia master, or just craving community, this is a peek behind the curtain of one of Santa Fe’s most dynamic and creative venues.
