Final Project Idea 2.0 (Updated with video)

I apologize for my less-than-fully developed ideas last week, I had very few ideas, but I have been wracking my brain thinking of something else, and I found something.
There's a movie theater in Arlington, the Olympic Theater and it's small, old and completely wonderful. If you haven't been there, I strongly urge you go. Tickets are only $7.00, that's cheaper than a Regal matinee price. The theater also uses real film to show the movies, instead of digital, but this is a becoming a problem. You see, major movie companies want to phase out 35 mm film and go totally digital. That's fine for corporate multiplexes, but for a small privately-owned theater it's a big problem. Because of this, the theater is in jeopardy of being shut down, and for the citizens of Arlington, it's tragic news.
So, my plan is to take pictures of the theater in all its retro glory, and interview the owner. Talk to her about the history of the theater and ask her if there's any hope left. When I go to talk with her I also thought it'd be cool to talk to Arlingtonians and get their input about the theater, maybe their fondest memories? I know that this is only a 2 minute movie, so there can't be too much, but it's always good to have too much footage instead of not enough.
I've already emailed the owner asking if she can do an interview, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Below is the vlog form of this blog...it's a bit...terrible, cause I am awkward on camera, but it shows my storyboard. Enjoy!



Here is the photo version of my storyboard so you can view it more in-depthly
