Author Topic: Who the HECK are you?? Richard Curtis Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Liverpool, Merseyside, UK Registered: Aug 2008 posted 09-02-2008 06:20 AM                        Hi all, I'm Richard Curtis. I'm from Somerset, in South West England, but work in Liverpool, in the North West. I'm a Theatre/Production Technician, trained at LIPA, and now working as a Production Technician at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Mostly this means moving chairs and tables around, with a fair amount of Lighting, Stage Management and Sound. However, we show films approx. twice a month, so I project as well. Oddly enough, the projection is the reason I'm here on Film-Tech! Sadly, I'm not related to the screenwriter, I wouldn't complain if someone sent a cheque my way by mistake!  |  IP: Logged Tyler Potts Expert Film Handler Posts: 159 From: Anderson, SC, USA Registered: Sep 2008 posted 09-29-2008 09:31 PM                       Tyler Potts Assistant Manager, Regal Entertainment Group Anderson, South Carolina Since 2005 Came in as an usher in the Eastern Federal Corporation, fast tracked in projections over the summer of 2005 during Regal's buyout, and manager by November.

I have been in the business since 1997 when I started making popcorn and selling tickets at a locally owned single screen built back in the 40's. I worked my way up to GM gaining lots of knowledge good and bad by simply having to fix stuff myself. I left the single to be an Asst. Mgr at a 4, 6, 4 and 12 screen before I became a GM at an 8 and am now a GM at a 12 screen theatre in Spokane Washington. I am also a booth trainer / certifier for our district and have been for 6+ years. Booth has always been my favorite area of the business and where I feel most comfortable. During my time in the industry I have kept going by working part time delivering Pizzas and frying fish at a seafood joint, because we all know that this industry will not make you rich, but it can make you very happy. -Luke  |  IP: Logged Cassandra Palko Film Handler Posts: 30 From: Menomonee Falls, WI USA Registered: Jul 2009 posted 08-30-2009 03:10 AM                        Greetings! My name is Cassandra Palko. For 9 years Marcus Theatres was a second job of mine. It was what I did on evenings, weekends and holidays. I had held several day jobs – but always remained faithful to the movie theatre. This April I was given the opportunity to become Manager of a newly renovated location in Mequon, WI – North Shore Cinema. I leapt at the opportunity. I’m not getting rich – all my day jobs paid better – but I truly enjoy what I do. Thanks for approving my application. I have been reading this forum for over a month and am happy that I can participate and get some input from other theatre professionals outside of my own company.  |  IP: Logged Robert E.

I have loved this business for many years. While I retired from it once I really like to get back into it. I spent 5 years in northern Minnesota and managed a theatre in Iowa. I sure do miss the Midwest. Good luck in you new endeavor.  |  IP: Logged Cassandra Palko Film Handler Posts: 30 From: Menomonee Falls, WI USA Registered: Jul 2009 posted 08-30-2009 11:23 PM                        Thank you Robert! I'm learning a lot here. Rather than start new threads – I am going to try to search out subjects with topics I am interested in. I may revive a bunch of old threads - I hope that's ok.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-01-2009 04:46 PM                       Sure it is, Cassandra!
