You watched in airconditioned ubercomfort, with great sound, a crisp clear big screen, and enjoyed marvelous popcorn and cold drinks. Then it closed. Blame Covid. Blame a landlord who suddenly wanted $2500 per month in rent. Anyway. We&#8217;re opening it again at a new location, and we&#8217;d like a small group of people to help us do it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bp-loan\"><strong>To be clear: these are loans, not donations. You&#8217;re not giving us money, and you&#8217;re not buying a share of the business \u2014 you&#8217;re lending The Flicks what it needs to open, and every backer is paid back.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What we&#8217;re building<\/h2>\n<p>A small, independent cinema lounge \u2014 one properly soundproofed and air conditioned movie room with a minimum of 28 comfy seats with a professional projector, a unique Dolby Atmos Surround System and a voltage-isolating UPS, and a little concession bar. Nothing about it is large, and that is the point. It is built to run quietly and to pay its own way from the first month it opens.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/62537532?h=b73b078d31\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\"   allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>What backing means<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re raising what we need from a limited circle of private backers rather than a public campaign.
