Instead of giant 4K's or digital projectors could there be a move to home fried 16mm or 8mm for feature film? Hobbyists refuse to let go of the turntable so why not enjoy the chatter and snap of 16mm film? Or play re-mastered Betas through 17" black and whites?
If someone can slick out a new premiere product then attach a breath-taking price tag on it a new class of diversion could be unleashed on the moneyed and bored.
Any solid ideas on how to get this rolling?
