Ask to see the reel go on at the cinema
“Asking to see the projection booth feels like asking for a pass you have not earned. Most projectionists would rather show one person than talk to no one all night.”
The Recipe
- Go to your nearest independent or repertory cinema, half an hour before a showing.
- Ask whoever takes the tickets if the projectionist would show you the booth for two minutes.
- Watch them start the show, and ask what still has to be done by hand.
