Day to Day
My day begins by opening the theater and prepping the staff on the events of the day. I will have conference calls with movie studios and coordinate renting prints and drives. During showtime I oversee the staff and troubleshoot the inevitable malfunctions that occur with either popcorn machines or the projector or any number of things. Before certain screenings I will give a little information on the film being shown and talk about other upcoming events.
