Update on Flat Rock Cinema digital conversion


From the Flat Rock Cinema, more information on their digital conversion project:
Digital Project
This page was created to inform you by sharing new stories and for those who wish to make a donation towards the project.

The time is upon us to "Convert or Die" as we face the end of an era of 35 MM film. Most studios will no longer produce film by the end of this year so we must convert to digital projection in order to license movies. The cost of the conversion is about $60,000 - which we don't have. We don't own our real estate so it's difficult to borrow the money.

We are planning some benefits and are working to borrow some of the money needed to convert. We'll update this page as more details become available. Meanwhile, please read the stories below and consider helping us survive.

As of February 28, we have raised nearly $3,000! We are thankful that we live in such a great community!

DANCING FEETE BENEFIT
Dancing Feete Ballroom & Dance Center will host a benefit Rumba Group Class & Dance on Friday, March 2nd at 7:00 PM to help raise money for the Flat Rock Cinema's digital conversion project. Cost for the evening is $25 per person and all proceeds will go to the cinema's project.

Eric Foote, owner of the studio, has been teaching Arthur Murray Ballroom and Latin dancing for 15 years and offers group classes and private lessons. The studio is located behind Flat Rock Cinema and to the left of the fountain. Contact Dancing Feet Studio by calling 828.692.1900, cell 828.674.5253.
