In order for there to be fresh material, there has to be fresh leaders. People with a vision who will hire artists with a vision. There's currently a movement in England with small movie houses, anything from 15 to 50 seats, and they're showing independantly produced films. I've read that is also begining to happen in the US. That seems hopefull. Music can do the same thing.

I've floated the idea to our film club maven. She is intrigued...

What the hell – all it takes is a large fortune – in 25 years or so we'll have a small fortune!

Look for a small venue that you can rent and film makers that are looking for a place to show their films.

How about suicase? It's a long story but if we buy LV, the brand with the logo of course, we could get a free bag 💰 and put whatever into it 👛

Sounds complicated. Also, unless our fortune was all in 1's, I can't imagine needing an entire suitcase, once we're done...

One of these little theaters opened this year in Davenport, Iowa, here on the Big River in a repurposed auto shop. I'll check the parking lot again at the remaining multiplex here, but I'll bet the owners could plow up and plant half of it in hay and not turn anyone away... Not that 'the owners' would have such insight.
