Author Topic: (for fun)What is your life long screen count? Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 07-21-2003 09:07 PM                        My career was almost entirely "bounce list" relief or special event work--these are the only ones where I was considered full-time: Thrillsphere - 2 screens for 2 years Universal Pictures "Casino" screening room - 1 screen for 4 months Caesars Omnimax - 1 screen, 2 tours for a total of 3 years Total = 4. Not a lot to show for 20 years in IATSE, ey?  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-21-2003 09:10 PM                     Lemme see... Four different single-screen venues. Five multiplex screens in total, spread across three different multiplexes. (All film-festival jobs, that's why). One living room (does it count? ) Excluding the living room, that makes nine screens in all (35mm only).  |  IP: Logged Nicholas Roznovsky Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 From: College Station, TX, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-21-2003 09:13 PM                        2 twins 1 triple 1 quad 3 10-screens 1 16-screen ------------ 57 so far I'll add another six once my theater is opened in the winter, making my total 63 by the end of the year.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-21-2003 09:42 PM                  How the heck can yous remember all that stuff?
