Description
At first we considered renting a dollar theater for a night, but they wanted $500 to show our own movie, and then we'd have to have our own copy of the film. After researching other possibilities like UAH's Chan auditorium or their UC, the most cost effective solution seems to be The Flying Monkey, especially since they will let us have food and drink, including alcohol, during the show. We can also sell our own concessions. Normally they would ask us to be done before midnight, but they make an exception for the first Friday every month.
The Monkey's representative, Anna Sue, said the theater had a seating capacity of 250. If we have to pay $535 for the event, we can make a profit after the theater is half full.
To bring in the maker side, we could tie in one of strages' ideas to have a chat feed at the bottom of the screen. Maybe twitter? Show some short video clips of projects at the shop?
Cost
Mog reports that the cost of getting the license to show The Room is $300, and the theater booking is $235, so the total cost is now $535. We could still turn a profit on the event if we get more than 107 people to show up, which can probably be easily accomplished. But we will need members to help split the up-front costs of the event. Feel free to add yourself to the list-
- Mog
- MrWorld
Volunteers
In addition to financial support, we'll need general volunteers to do things like put up fliers, send press releases, provide concessions, and we'll definitely want to clean up all the plastic spoons after the movie.
- Omegix
- Mog
- MrWorld
Advertisement
Provided we give them a basic description of the event, the movie would be advertised through their regular channels (newsletter, WLRH ads, Lowe Mill website)
If we submit information about our event to Anna Sue at her email address, the event will be promoted through the Flying Monkey's channels, such as their newsletter and website. We can also advertise on NPR if we give them the details at least 30 days before the event.
