Daily Links Excerpt of the Day
FilmScene, a local nonprofit organization, and Iowa City developer Marc Moen are interested in putting a small theater in the building Moen is renovating at 118 E. College St.
The preliminary goal is to install a “micro-cinema” seating 50 to 75 people in the rear of the first floor, said Andy Brodie, co-founder of FilmScene. This would serve as a temporary home until a permanent location can be found to screen the independent and foreign films the organization wants to bring to the community.
“It would give people a taste of the FilmScene experience and our vision for a long-term home,” said Brodie, 32, of Iowa City.
