The historical Gibson Theatre in Batesville Indiana needs to make the change from 35 mm movies to the new digital format in order to remain open to continue to show movies.
Our ultimate goal of the Gibson Theatre is to purchase and install the necessary equipment to covert from 35 mm movies to a digital system. We have applied for local grants and are in the process of doing fund raisers such as the Kickstarter Program and working with organizations in our local community to assist in reaching our goals of raising funds to meet matching grants. We have been working with the Rural Alliance of the Arts, the local community schools and the Chambers of Commerce. With the help of these and other local organizations we hope to be able to meet the monetary needs in order to implement the transformation to a digital format.
Risks and challenges
An initial challenge would be getting the word out to the public that the theatre has adopted to the new digital system. Marketing and advertising the new system would be a challenge. Training the staff on the new equipment and maintaining the equipment in good working condition could also be a potential obstacle.
