I'm showing classic movies in a market town in Dorset and it's getting busier each time.

Beyond my expectations but I really believed these films could appeal to an audience outside of film buffs in a major urban centre... and guess what?🙂

Saturday night at the movies...

Thank you to everyone who joined us tonight, we couldn't do this without your continued support!
