REGARDING THE FILM SHOW AT MY HOUSE

Thank you guys for your suggestions and comments. You have raised some good points.

It's NOT a classroom affair. What I meant by that was, if you see something I do while I run the films, i.e. 35mm projectionist procedure - then ask what am I doing and yes you can learn.

I want the screening at my home to make the guest feel relaxed.

:-)

[Chip Gelmini]

I am really looking forward to mid August!

[Lee Mannering]

Chip That is an incredibly kind offer for early arrivals and will be fascinating for all. The Little Mermaid is a lovely film with the fun and gorgeous music but all the films you kindly listed are great. Your enthusiasm for film and also making things happen is clear to see, we could do with a little more of that over this side of el pond.
Sensible with the 5 seated cinema seating at the moment as well and anyone waiting will I am sure find plenty to talk about.
Well done you!

It's building to quite a awesome event that's a certainty with some new releases to hit the screen as well.

[Mark Mander]

Chip,
the offer of a film night is I'm sure appealing to collectors but how I read the thread is more of a classroom scenario on how to present a film show which isn't very appealing, it doesn't really sound a fun night out, also I wouldn't think attendees will wait for the chance of a seat if two features are potentially shown, it needs to come across as a more relaxed affair with more seating available when possible of course, Mark

[Chip Gelmini]

Ok STAR WARS now added to the voting list.

It has been about a week since I posted for the movie night in my home. Yes it's early I know but come on guys not ONE reply other than David's suggestion? ☹️

[David Baker]

[Chip Gelmini]

Because I thought the big boat would do the trick. Ohhhhh that sinking feeling.........

[David Baker]

Chip , I raised my hand at Wildwood, so I'll be there !
Why don't you add one of your STAR WARS movies to your choices to vote on for your " Home Movie " presentation?

[Chip Gelmini]

1. Can someone please answer this question for me. With thanks.

How many are coming to this event that also go to Wildwood NJ for Cineasea?

Again, many thanks.

2. Volunteer is needed for photography of our event. Can you shoot stills and provide me with a CDROM of your pictures from your memory card. I will post the pictures here later on. This person will, while also attending the event, try really hard to produce a bunch of great pictures for others to see on line. You will of course be given full credits to your work.

Kind regards
