INDEPENDENT cinema memberships

Support our independent cinema screens!! I am a Londoner so I have memberships with BFI, Prince Charles and Picturehouse and it is totally worth it, especially as watching movies takes up a good chunk of my personality and I dislike watching things at home. Advanced screenings, access to smaller films, discounted tickets are all great but it’s also just nice to support these places who do so much in preserving the British independent film scene which is currently in an abysmal state. Curzon, Everyman, The Garden, Genesis, ICA and many more are also all great and I would be members of them all if I could. Big up BFI especially because I probably wouldn’t have got as far in both my career and love of film without them, and the Northampton Filmhouse in my hometown which was my first independent cinema.
These are of course London based examples but I encourage everyone to support their local independents 🫶🏻

(Ian) Spectacle Theater

The best movie theater in New York seats 35. See a movie here you know nothing about and you will be inspired. For me most recently it was a screening of Dave Wascavage’s Suburban Sasquatch. Simple Town has been lucky enough to play videos here twice. The first night was packed, the second night we sold two tickets, and both nights were perfect.

Amc a-list

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

we're officially living in the most uninspired era in human history.

Windsor, Ontario: it's a Tuesday... and I can't help but day dream of my summers in Italy with my family. No, not in Tuscany.... or Rome... or the Amalfi Coast.... in a small village up on a mountain in the south of Italy, named, Maione. I couldn't tell you the population.... maybe 500 people? a lot less? probably... While i was born in Canada, my blood is all old world roots. The food, the air, the scenery, it just hits different. Look around you.... they've tricked you into thinking modern, clean, minimalist esthetic is luxury. Every new construction build has gray exteriors, gray fake wood flooring, white kitchens and a cookie-cutter lay out that has you thinking you're living in an insane asylum. I mean, you kinda have to be insane if you think spending $1,000,000 on a shit built condo is worth it. look around you.... everyone is dressed the same, consuming the same content, drinking matcha lattes, doing pilates in their basic, boring brown-colored one piece sets... streetwear used to mean something.... it was the underground.... it was the push against the status quo.... Today, streetwear means wearing the same esthetic so that you can post it on social media, to become an influencer. no styles, no tastes... just mainstream streetwear. WTF. that's like an oxymoron. Look at the state of social media.... most content creators are a copy cat of a copy cat of a copy cat... we now use the word "trending" as if it has importance...but in my opinion, it just shows you where the sheep are. same audio, same transitions, same cringe content with no meaning. all in the name of vanity. all in the name of more views. you're all part of the problem. including me. I'm here to change that.
