We’re in this movie! Q&A with the director to follow. Check it out:
A journey into the American West on a search for traces of what was once a center of small-town life: the movie theater. Director Rustin Thompson travels 10,000 miles to visit over 100 rural movie theaters in 10 states in the West (including the Barnyard Cinema). He finds the physical remnants of what were once vibrant theaters, now gathering dust or repurposed as gyms, banks, etc. He meets the theater owners struggling to keep movies on the big screen (that’s us!) while fighting streaming, inflexible distributors, rising costs and many more obstacles to staying open. All ticket proceeds go towards our chair-replacement capital campaign.
