A Bleak Picture for Non-Digital Independent Theaters: Convert or Die


For almost 90 years, the Bonham Theater has been a center of social life and a place where the tiny town of Fairbury, Neb., (population 3,942) can gather to catch the latest Hollywood movies.
But two weeks ago, owner Allen Hinkle switched off the movie projectors for probably the last time and closed the theater’s doors, leaving the community without a movie theater for more than 25 miles.

Welcome

This is mostly a collection of interviews and articles from the pre-internet era about story telling.  My hope is to start a dialog discussing each of the articles.  Are they still relevant?  

I want to see if we can get closer to the definition of what is universal vs. what is fad.  

Should be an interesting experiment.  Enjoy.
