Sky's Theater Management Talk

[SkyTech6]

I thought about sharing my experience working at a local movie theater. It's a bit different than working for one of the franchise chains like AMC or Cinemark because we don't have anyone who handles all the "movie theater tycoon" aspects of the business for us. We have to order our own movies, marketing materials, don't have union projectionists, etc...

So I'll be sharing some things about my theater and what I do. If you have questions about anything or just want to discuss it, I'm happy to do so. I work everyday at theater and as a huge movie fan, I highly enjoy it.

I've worked at this theater for about a year and I've been our only projectionist for about half a year. I handle all movie ingesting, playlisting, and scheduling. As well I do all maintenance on our projectors. In addition to that I assist the owner in picking new movies to get (we only have 2 screens so we switch out movies weekly) and I also handle all the marketing material such as posters, handouts, bus shelters, banners, and standees.

That's the basics. I'll probably start with the most exciting things so first I'll show you guys the projector I work with in the next post!
