Projection Admin 11/23 (Alec & Lillian) Happy Almost T-Gives/Native American Heritage Day!

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey, friends. I brought my red book in (A Beginner's Guide to Film Projection). As most of y'all know, this isn't just a beginner's guide, it's also a super fun and informative read for those already familiar with the craft and wanting to know more or brush up on old material. I would strongly suggest reading it if you haven't already and have time on your shift after completing necessary tasks. There are sections in the book where you can write some notes down, which I haven't used since I keep a separate diary. I will be happy to answer any questions you might jot down so we can talk about how those pertain to the geography of our booths, equipment, etc. Feel free to use a little bookmark with your name on it to keep track of your spot in the book! 

Had our weekly cinema meeting today! We're in good shape for the coming weeks. Alec and I discussed getting a few new mixers to have on hand in theatres 3 and 4 for a permanent position. We'd like to get another split reel, which we can get off eBay or from a vendor. There's some nice Neumade/Goldberg split reels on eBay--that's where I got my personal one and it works just fine. There's quite a few collectors and folks that represent vendors on the Bay. Also, Alec informed me that the cores we have here are being used, but Williamsburg has loads, so we can divide them up a bit and bring a few here to have on hand. Some of you may know by now, but the Library of Congress wants to start lending to us, and having more 35 supplies is an attractive attribute to have when solidifying a relationship with an archive. 

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist: Ingested new keys for Triangle of Sadness, Fablemans, White Noise, Strange World.

Special Events/ AV set up: Kim confirmed today that we're good to move forward with the content we have. There was a slight chance we'd be receiving another trailer for the HBO event, but we're all set and ready to tech on the 28th. 

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers): We received a butt ton (200) of White Noise posters that I have absolutely no idea what to do with other than write Noah Baumbach a letter about climate change.
