A Brazilian filmmaker turned indie cinema owner, opening a 35-seat theater in a garage with personal funds to preserve film culture.
Carlos Costa, a former São Paulo TV producer, opened Cine LT3 in 2022, transforming an old garage into a 35-seat independent cinema using $18,600 in personal funds.
Inspired by a childhood film experience, he installed vintage seats and now runs the theater alone, handling all operations from projections to popcorn.
The venue screens curated art-house and international films, serving as a cultural hub amid Brazil’s shrinking independent cinema scene, where fewer than 500 non-mall theaters remain.
Patrons value its intimate atmosphere and role in preserving film culture, with Costa viewing the project as a personal mission to sustain shared storytelling in a digital age.
