Seattle's indie movie theater scene hangs on by a reel
“We were just flat out closed. Nobody. Nothing” said Jeff Brien, managing partner at
Faraway Entertainment. They operate eight theaters in western Washington, including the Admiral in West Seattle and Varsity in the University District.
Except for a few weeks in June, movie theaters are been shut down since March with little or no revenue, and they’re running on fumes.
Justin Pritchett, the new managing director of the
Ark Lodge Cinemain Columbia City said, “The clock has run out. We're depending on (rent) moratorium to allow us to stay in house a little longer.”
