I think a new repitory cinema is a great idea but I wonder though if it's
financially viable in our neck of the woods.  We're a fussy lot when it
comes to supporting the arts - escpeically alternative cinema.

I'd be interested in hearing from the organisers on how much they see the
venture pulling in on a monthly basis.  I can't imagine space downtown, no
matter how small, would be all that cheap to rent.  And rent alone would put
huge dent in their monthly income.

I'm perfectly willing to contribute financially to the cause, but it would
be nice to see some figures to see just how viable the venture is.
