So what is it?
If he ever sells the theater or passes it on, thecatsare part of the deal.
It is truly a love letter to the art of cinema.

It is certainly a labor of love for this director to bring a one-of-a-kind story to the screen.
And its in a guys house.

And it was really the inspiration to do what I do today, Finlin told me.
So how did a whole feature documentary come about?
Finlin points out Stata has no family, no partner, no kids.
Just him, this theater, and the cats.
He cares deeply about them.
He is proud of the film.
(At the end we even see Stata watching it.)
Hes proud of what hes done, Finlin continues.
Like hes not a young guy.
He just incorporated it into the finished cut.
It was more than just a gig for Drew.
As a child of going to the cinema I have watched the decline of movie theaters unfold.
He also hopes to get in one that would be an Academy qualifier.
This is a movie that might have great personal appeal to a number of Oscar voters.
I mean I got to make it.
Of course itd be amazing to get it into festivals and all these things.
I want people to see it and feel the way I did when I walked in there.
