00:08The challenges for small-town theaters are many. We have places where sometimes 50 miles there is
00:15no movie theater at all. What I would refer to as cinema deserts. If you don't create the movie
00:23going experience for children and young adults, they don't develop that habit and they'll never
00:28pick it up. You can't miss what you don't know. It's tough making a living in the movie industry now.
00:37We've lost over a hundred thousand dollars two years in a row. This is our third year where we're
00:42on that track. Our greatest challenge today is how we're treated by the studios. They determine
00:47when and how you get the film. If I could book things the way I want to I'd make three
00:51or four
00:51times as much money. The film companies are cutting their own throats.
01:00So how come you keep at it? Because we enjoyed doing it and the community needs it. The community
01:06supported me. I support the community.
01:20I grew up coming here as a little kid to this same drive-in. It's one of the few around.
01:26This is our
01:2762nd season. I started working here in 1998 when I was 16. My grandfather taught me how to be a
01:35projectionist when I was 13. I actually had my first kiss in this theater.
01:38This fair land, I'll say no more. Movies are now just like data parts streaming in the air. When it's
01:46real, that's the payoff. We're at a turning point where film could disappear. The old motto of the movie
01:54house is that you are being treated like royalty whether you are the mayor or a farmer. The movie
02:01house was the pride of that town.
02:04I'm going to the west.
02:08wurde it.
02:08He was, he was a largely taxpayer, the town. We're at a different village for friends to
02:08work with kids. So what are you doing. I want to have a Asked Law response. Let's go ahead
02:09Put this on the street from cooking, sól and Francis, try to get them all.
02:11You've got a drink.
02:11I like how large the city.
