If there is hope, it lies in the micro-cinemas. I first learned about micro-cinema from a theater management class I took when getting my minor in film at the University of Arizona. U of A is a party school, I could not have gotten into a better school even if I knew how to party better. They have a decent English department and they offer the option of studying film as a minor. We're approaching a time in history where we are debating the usefulness of a college education. If you do decide to pursue a degree, look into ways to get the education you want.

If there is hope, it lies in the micro-cinemas. I first learned about micro-cinema from a theater management class I took when getting my minor in film at the University of Arizona. U of A is a party school, I could not have gotten into a better school even if I knew how to party better. They have a decent English department and they offer the option of studying film as a minor. We're approaching a time in history where we are debating the usefulness of a college education. If you do decide to pursue a degree, look into ways to get the education you want. I feel like U of A trained me for the things I wanted to do. No one has ever asked to see the paper, or see my GPA. I love the idea of having a small screen through which I can push my own taste and agenda. Like a personal radio station. The romance of micro-cinema was further instilled in me when I read the book A Year at the Movies: One Man's Filmgoing Odyssey by Mystery Science Theater's Kevin Murphy. Murphy talks about film exhibition in a lot of contexts. This book really speaks to the experience of going to the movies. I'd love to have a theater that doesn't have to produce much. One where I could go wild with the programming. But the problem with that is alcohol. Alcohol makes the world go 'round. You gotta sell alcohol to make that business model work. Every single person I speak to eventually reminds me of alcohol. I get it. But I have, nor have I ever, had any desire to run a bar. Maybe that's why I chose The Lamplighter. They sell alcohol. I hope alcohol will be a draw.
