Film Board Minutes
Date:
October 8th 2002
Meeting Started at: 6:03 P.M.
Unexcused Absences: Stephanie Marolt
Excused Absences: Ryan Antkowiak, Pedro L.
Lemmertz, and David J. Subert
33 members present
Minutes: Passed
President: No report.
Vice President: The requirements can be lowered by
1 show due to the increased membership but the required amount of cleanups will
stay the same.
Secretary: The new members have been added to the
email list and a new fall Film Board membership list was sent to the list.
Treasurer: For “The Boerne Identity”, we
sold 603 tickets that amounts to $ 1206.00 and made $ 322.00 in
Concessions. For “Red Dragon” $ 160.85
was made in concessions. Whoopee!!!
Equipment Supervisor: The movie is here and it will
probably be put together sometime during the day. I cannot make it to the normal 8:00pm showing
so unless another projectionist wants to do the showing, it will take place
when I get done around 9:00pm.
Last week there was a bit of trouble with the print
so the movie had to be sent back and another copy needed to be shipped; this is
why Film Board previews the movie before it is shown to the public.
Web page: The web page has been updated for this
weekend and some pictures will be added to it soon; also still working on some
glitches with the term list page.
Publicity: The term list will be made up this
weekend.
Concessions: No report
Advertising: Got in contact with the AIDS task
force, Film Board basically showed their ad for free last semester but they
will pay Film Board appropriately in the future.
Advisors: Saw the show this weekend and it looked
ok but there were about six cell phones that went off and some of the slides
were also hard to read.
Old Business: The dark slides that are hard to read
are being reviewed by advertising. Publicity should check in the MUB office
about a poster being placed in the outside marquee were they were put last
here, if they cannot be placed in the marquee then perhaps they may be hung
somewhere else in the MUB. If they can
no longer be placed in or by the MUB then Film Board should only order one
poster in the future since we don’t want to order posters that we don’t use.
All the left over t-shirts were handed out to new
members and for those 4 new members who did not receive a t-shirt please
contact Missy Benson and tell her what color shirt you want (green/gray) and
the appropriate size you want.
Some members of Film Board have acquired some
trailers for the movies that will be shown in the future, good job. Yeoman!
New Business: Last weekend on Friday enough cell
phones went off during the movie that Film Board believes it is necessary to
create a sign that could be placed between the doors and or ticket widows. This sign should inform the patrons that
there cell phone/pager should be turned off or placed on vibrate mode for the
duration of the film. It was also
suggested that perhaps a trailer could be found somewhere that informs the
patrons about not using there cell phones and how it really ruins the movie for
people who actually came to watch it.
Comments were made about the “Red Dragon” movie and
if it will be possible in the future to get any more promotional movies. The way it works is that a company has the
Film Board name on a list and if a sponsor is found for a movie they will
contact Film Board and ask if the movie could be shown at MTU. Film Board has done 3 promotional movies in
the last six months so if they call, the movie will most likely be shown.
Meeting Adjourned: 6:25 pm
Dutifully Submitted,
