About The Brand
01 — About
THE
CINEMA
GROUP.

Founded in 2020 by Jonathan P. Moustakas, The Cinema Group is the fastest-growing independent entertainment media brand in the digital space — built entirely on organic reach and an uncompromising editorial voice.

We cover film, television, and culture with the authority of a legacy publication and the speed of a digital-native brand. In 2026, TCG expands into a full creative collective studio — adding podcasts, editorial contributors, and social-first video talent.
