Home Theater in the Spotlight

A recurring theme of my ramblings has been some version of “what can we in the private cinema industry do to attract the attention of the public?”  Oh sure, everyone knows about home theater in one form or another, but how can we get the message out about what we really offer?  Well, it seems…

Cineluxe: 6 Questions to Ask About a Private Cinema

Kākou is the Hawaiian value of inclusiveness. It means “all of us” and “we are in this together.” I like that because the article I am posting about, “Six Questions To Ask About A Private Cinema”, can apply to all of us.

Cineluxe: Does Watching Movies Really Matter Right Now?

Aloha friends, colleagues and fellow enthusiasts of life well lived, I recently completed and submit an article for publication but when COVID-19 struck us all so dramatically, I stopped the presses.
