My guest today is Raphael Sbarge, an established industry actor and now director of the documentary, Only In Theaters. If you’re an independent filmmaker who appreciates the value of watching independent films in movie theaters as I do, then this is a film you must find a way to see. Only In Theaters follows Greg Laemmle, CEO of the iconic Laemmle theater chain, as he navigates the difficulties of keeping his family business afloat in the modern movie era—in the face of dwindling ticket sales, competition from streaming platforms, not to mention the devastating Covid epidemic. In the interview, we talk about the movie itself and its relevance to the moviegoing experience today. Then we shift to Raphael’s own experience of making the movie with virtually unfettered access to Greg Laemmle and his personal struggle. And then perhaps most importantly to the theme of this podcast, we talk in detail about Raphael’s own challenges in getting Only In Theaters out to the world, not to mention out to theaters.
