Film-Tech’s Projectionist Travel NetworkI love to travel. I now live in a very beautiful place on earth. I have heard of these travel clubs where people trade houses for a week to live in another city. It works real well when you are talking about Paris and New York. How about a projectionist travel network? I come live in your house for a week and pull a few shifts in your booth. You come live in my house for a week and do a few shifts in my booth. This would also work for theatre managers. What can I offer on my end? I live in Sonoma County California about 50 miles or 90 Kilometers North of San Francisco. Sonoma County is the center of America’s wine industry and there are vineyards just a mile from my theatre. The rugged Pacific coast is 30 miles west of the theatre. Sonoma County is considered one of the most beautiful in California. I can set up a tour of Dolby Laboratories. My theatre is a five-screen art house in a town of 150,000 people. You would have full use of Norge, my Dodge minivan. What places would I like to visit? There is a nice theatre in Maine and we have all those lads in Australia and I remember we have someone who posts from the Netherlands. Think of all the exotic places we could go yet still have some common interest that binds us. Some people would find themselves working in new, state of the art complexes. Some would find it interesting to run fifty-year-old projectors, reel to reel. Yes I know there would be a bunch of hurdles to clear before this would work, but I know it could work and would be an adventure. Not as an solicitation, It would be fun to see what others could offer in their area.

Here in Rochester NY, we joke that George Eastman decided to build Kodak here because it is the world's largest darkroom and natural cold storage facility! Yes, the winters are dreary, cold, and snowy, with the sun rarely being seen. (Good skiing and ice fishing though). But summers are really pleasant, with the Finger Lakes wine country just a short drive south, and Lake Ontario keeping the heat in check.Upstate NY is also the home of Bausch and Lomb (CinemaScope lenses), American Optical (70mm Todd-AO), and Theodore Case (the unsung inventor of optical sound). The International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House is a world-renowned film archive, and regularly screens classic prints, including nitrate, in its Dryden theatre: http://www.eastman.org/ Many of the original negatives for classic films are stored in their temperature-controlled vaults. ------------------

Hello all,
I cannot offer work, but I can make suggestions on where to visit the sights: museums, the beach  , mountains, the desert, amusement parks, etc. And also where some of the best commercial cinemas are located here in Southern California. If the timing is right, maybe even a visit to a studio screening room. But if you want to see an absolute state of the art facility, give me a call when you plan on being in town to make arrangements for a tour of the factory.------------------
