Independent art house cinema in Columbia Missouri. "We show movies that others dare not to. We show movies that are fun and we show movies that are thought-provoking, and, hopefully, we show movies that are both. We highlight homegrown and far-flung filmmakers, musicians and performers and make space on our walls for emerging artists. And everyone gets in for the same price."

Independent Art House Cinema in Springfield. "The story of how The Moxie came to be is a long, convoluted tale filled with elements of intrigue, espionage, and a helpful time-traveling robot named Benzo. To make a long story short, The Moxie is an oasis of cinematic paradise within a barren desert of gaudy, faceless multiplexes. Our mission is to create a unique and inviting venue for the exhibition of smaller, lesser-known films that had traditionally been unattainable in the Springfield market. We try our hardest to make every showing at The Moxie an experience in and of itself, and while we can't guarantee that you'll love the movie, we're pretty darn sure you'll love The Moxie. That was pretty lame. Sorry."
