I first learned about\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emicro-cinema from a theater management class I took when getting my\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eminor in film at the University of Arizona. U of A is a party school, I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecould not have gotten into a better school even if I knew how to party\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebetter. They have a decent English department and they offer the option\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof studying film as a minor. We're approaching a time in history where\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewe are debating the usefulness of a college education. If you do decide to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epursue a degree, look into ways to get the education you want. I feel like\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eU of A trained me for the things I wanted to do. No one has ever asked\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto see the paper, or see my GPA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI love the idea of having a small screen through which I can push\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emy own taste and agenda. Like a personal radio station. The romance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof micro-cinema was further instilled in me when I read the book A Year\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eat the Movies: One Man's Filmgoing Odyssey by Mystery Science Theater's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKevin Murphy. Murphy talks about film exhibition in a lot of contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book really speaks to the experience of going to the movies. I'd love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto have a theater that doesn't have to produce much. One where I could\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ego wild with the programming. But the problem with that is alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlcohol makes the world go 'round. You gotta sell alcohol to make that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebusiness model work. Every single person I speak to eventually reminds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eme of alcohol. I get it. But I have, nor have I ever, had any desire to run a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebar. Maybe that's why I chose The Lamplighter. They sell alcohol. I hope\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealcohol will be a draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 21, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460867440893,"sku":"9780999540060","price":24.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/6HQSCxPwHz9780999540060.webp?v=1777256368","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/i-exhibited-films-for-a-year-i-lost-money-but-i-think-i-made-my-point-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
