We are trying something a wee bit different this year. Instead of launching with a massive list of either the good and the bad, I’ve teamed up with some partners to help distribute the news. What’s good or bad in the film biz in 2014? Well check out Film Comment for ten good (complete with swell photo selection) and check out Keyframe for ten bad. Tomorrow, Keyframe will break with some more, and Filmmaker Magazine will join for good measure. And then come the end of the week, I will add to each of the lists here. Woo hoo!

“The potential loss of thousands of screens will only hasten the day when Hollywood doesn’t have to deal with those pesky exhibitors anymore.”

Now on this third post, it’s become very clear to me that the digital conversion is old news. It was the talk of the industry before I became part of the business and even prior to my involvement with the Elks Theatre. And yet, we are likely one of hundreds of small town cinemas in the nation that didn’t get the memo early enough. And now we’re left behind.
Was this part of the plan?
