Author Topic: No Longer Managing Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 04-02-2015 01:54 PM                     Hi Guys: Just wanted to let you know that I am no longer managing a theatre. It pains me to say that I was unable to make the last one succeed. As a businessman looking back on it I have come to the conclusion that it failed because I had no money to carry me through the slow times. The owner was gracious enough to front it for me but business did not build fast enough for me to build up any reserve. But, believe it or not, starting Sunday I will be pastoring a church. Those of you who are inclined to please pray for me and the Fellowship of Jesus Christ in Checotah, OK. And anyone who has the skills and would be willing to help me I need a website (but right now I have no money). I will be back here from time-to-time because I love this business.

I serviced a theater once just outside Chicago that was managed by a Catholic priest. He assembled Cocoon 2 and ran the first show for a large paying crowd. People seemed to be acting strangely when they came out of the movie and apparently the people in the movie died but then they were back again. He had spliced the reels in the wrong order. But when you think about a priest bringing back the dead... Sheesh! True Story! Mark  |  IP: Logged
