Rustin Thompson wrote, shot, edited, produced and directed this documentary about movie theaters in small towns across the American West: the abandoned ones, the ones barely hanging on and the ones doing great. It's cut with clips from Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show. A love letter to the place this whole website is about.
Anyone who still buys the large popcorn.
