Author Topic: News clip about me and my theatre Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 04-29-2019 10:23 PM                        The tv news guy was here a week or so ago; this was posted today: CTV News  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-29-2019 10:52 PM                        Cool! It's always good to see any theater (or the exhibition industry in general) get a positive recognition in the media.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-30-2019 10:30 AM                     very nice  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 04-30-2019 11:04 AM                     Great to see a small business still going strong despite all the odds stacked against it. I guess you managed to build a strong customer base among your locals through the years. I still hope those studios will become more flexible and allow you to show more movies on opening night. You probably have the advantage that people need to drive quite a distance to go see a movie on opening night at a competing theater, but there are plenty of other smaller operations that aren't that lucky and could have a thriving business otherwise. Like I mentioned in another topic, I see that the general quality of presentations is really taking a dump lately, it's exactly here were the smaller operations can make a difference. Everything feels better if it's done with some genuine passion. PS: Maybe you should tell those "CTV guys" their audio is broken, it's only playing on the right channel, at least that is what it does here.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 04-30-2019 11:06 AM                     Very nice, Frank!  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 04-30-2019 04:21 PM                        great piece!  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J.

I always pull for the last few remaining single-screen operators, keeping the great old days alive.  |  IP: Logged Terry Monohan Master Film Handler Posts: 379 From: San Francisco CA USA Registered: May 2014 posted 04-30-2019 10:23 PM                     Wow Frank now you are a TV star!  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

It's always good to see independent exhibitors featured in pieces like this.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-01-2019 09:33 PM                        Absolutely, and it was also good that they included Frank's explanation of the booking issues and restrictions around playing big movies on the break, which most of the public are completely unaware of.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-02-2019 11:28 AM                        Nice piece, Frank. It sure is terrific when the community appreciates a small business -- you know, that piece of Americana that once was the backbone of our culture -- and supports it at least enough to keep it afloat. Congrats, Frank. After reading your posts all these years, it is quite apparent that you get great satisfaction from your theatre. While it might you rich, being able to do what you love can be just as rewarding. Most people don't have jobs that have that component.  |  IP: Logged Harold Hallikainen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 906 From: Denver, CO, USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 05-02-2019 12:16 PM                        I agree! Nice video! And, it's nice to see a JSD-100 at the top of the rack!

The number of people who have seen and commented on that video is nothing short of amazing. I think everyone in town has seen it by now, and my mother (who lives in a town about about 7 hours away from here) told me that her neighbour told her that he had seen Frank Cox on television and isn't that her son? I've had three people (that I know of) come to the show who said that they're here because they saw it on tv and wanted to see the theatre in person, and one guy who just signed up for my email mailing list sent me an email saying that he's looking forward to driving from Regina to Melville to come to a movie at my theatre. And everywhere I go around town people are constantly telling me how they think it's great that I was on tv and that they really appreciate having a theatre in Melville. So it's certainly got a lot of attention, far more than I thought something like that would. I gather that the television network was using that as a space filler on every newscast across the whole province for about two straight days.  |  IP: Logged Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-02-2019 05:05 PM                        Very nice Frank, I enjoyed watching this.

Aren't they looking for a halfway competent broadcast engineer?  |  IP: Logged
