So I'm working in fits and starts, but it's happening. As Vice Chair of PR (Marketing) I'm the one doing the facebook, youtube, and blog happenings. Your updates? Most likely me. Wanna know what some movie is on our schedule? If it's not a Monday movie, I posted a trailer to our youtube page. Look, I'm blogging right now.
New features on the facebook fan page: discussion board topics for all fans to request movies for Classics and Midnights. In no way does this beat actually coming to Film Committee meetings (details when you ask the next time you come to a movie), but it makes more people feel involved and takes some strain off of us. Also, this blog is now an RSS feed into the Fan Pages Notes. Easy access. Upcoming, more photos and some video of SLC and its events.
I'm also working on getting us on IMDB.com as well as other movie websites, so our $5 ticket price for non-students gets more action. Anyone who wants to spread the word is also more than welcome, First Friday at Railroad is a great place to start.
How many people like or don't like the new names for popcorn and soda sizes at our concessions stand? It seemed to fall in place easy enough, though I expected more people to be using the new names.
One last note, people who show up to a movie and are upset that they can't get in. Do you know why they can't get in? It's a packed house. Or they cut in line. If you show up to a movie right at start time, you better hope no one else wanted to see the movie. We open the doors for seating 30 minutes before start time, and by that time we usually have a line. Also, the late showings of movies always are the most filled. If you want to try and guarantee a seat for yourself, show up to the early show and make sure it's a half hour before the movie starts. Don't complain to us that you ran over from somewhere to just get there 5-10 minutes AFTER the movie started. If there are seats, we'll let you in. If not, too bad. We try to show movies at multiple times, on multiple days, just so the highest number of people can see it. We aren't keeping you out on purpose.
Concessions closes 30 minutes after the last show of the night begins...and is CASH ONLY.
This week, 3:10 to Yuma was badass, The Fall was beautiful imagery, Open Mic night needs performances (I know there have to be more people on campus who wanna get on stage), Get Smart looks extremely funny, the ADVANCED SCREENING of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is expected to have enough people show up to fill the theater to capacity at least twice over (so get there as close to 3pm as possible, for it's 5pm start time), and we know everyone is coming out for Donnie Darko. Is this an awesomely scheduled week or what?
