Scans of your New Beverly Calendars!

Wish we had interviewed you?

Tell your New Beverly story!  We don’t want anyone with a great story sitting at home thinking, “Man!  I wish they’d interviewed me!”  Video tape your story for YouTube.  Here are some ideas we cover in the film that we’d like to hear about:

    1. 1st time: Tell us about your first time at the New Bev, how you heard about it, and what you thought.
    1. Great stories: Tell us any stories about how much you love the place, and why you think it’s special.  The more personal and specific the better. 
    2. Dead theaters: Have any of your favorite revival theaters closed?  Maybe back home?  What does it mean to you that theaters like the New Beverly stay alive and keep showing 35mm prints of films?
    3. Digital vs. 35mm: Do you think watching films digitally matters?  Do you care if movies are no longer available in 35mm?
    4. Hometown theaters: Do you own or work for a small theater that is struggling to afford digital projectors, facing the financial strain of updating digital equipment every few years, or that has closed due to lack of interest or lack of revenue?
    5. Rituals: What are your theater rituals?  Tell us about way you always get your popcorn, the seat you always prefer, the thrill you get in a theater that just isn’t the same at home.  Do you watch movies exclusively at the New Bev because they serve Whatchamacallits?
    6. History: Is there something about the history of the New Bev that you think we don’t know?  Any stories about Sherman Torgan and the good old days?
    7. New Bev Q&As: How do you feel about the Q&As, special programming series, and other events?  How are they different than from other theaters?
    8. New Bev crew: Tell us about the small crew of the New Bev.  Does it feel like home to always see Julia with her brightly-colored hair in the ticket booth?  Are you secretly in love with Marion? Are you afraid of any quacking projectionists?  Does Michael’s choice of movies make you want to take his master class in film history?
    9. Regulars: You’ve got crazy New-Bev-regulars stories, we’ve got the time.
    10. $$: What do you think about the prices?  Have you had to run to the ATM?
    11. Double Bill: What’s your dream double feature?
    12. Job: Have you been begging for a job at the New Bev for years and years and years?  One more chance to make your pitch.
    13. Prints: Do you know something we don’t know about the studio archives, whether they will stay available to the general public, or how many 35mm films might not get converted?  Have any tragic lost-or-damaged-the-last-print-and-there’s-nothing-we-can-do-about-it stories?
    14. REMEMBER:  The better the quality, the more likely we can use it.  Send a signed release for the video, and the people in it if you can.  If you send a physical tape, make sure it’s a copy you don’t need returned.
