Author Topic: Permission to Photograph your theatre. Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 11-11-2003 01:38 PM                        For those of you working for big chains, if somebody needed to get corporate office permissions to take pictures of your fine theatre, who would you tell them to contact? I'm having the hardest damn time finding current information on many chains.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-11-2003 01:46 PM                        Here's a worldwide guide to Exhibition contacts: http://www.filmjournal.com/applications/guides/alpha.cfm?PageID=11111170 Usually the decision maker would be the VP of Operations, or perhaps the regional or city manager.  |  IP: Logged Mathew Molloy Master Film Handler Posts: 357 From: The Santa Cruz Mountains Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-11-2003 02:43 PM                     Most likely your district manager would be the contact. I think Head of Operations would be the next step up the ladder.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-11-2003 03:33 PM                        For Cinemark (my former employer) - Terrell Falk For Spotlight (not exactly a big company) - ME  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-11-2003 03:52 PM                        So for Cinemark, Terrell Falk is the VP of Marketing?  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-11-2003 04:22 PM                        When in doubt. You can always write to the Head man (President)and in the body of the letter ask him/her to pass the letter on to the person you should be talking to. Most excutive's will send a letter back stating who you should call or write to.  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

Come on -- where are the AMC / Regal people???  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-11-2003 04:32 PM                        Do not hold your breath.  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

Thanks for asking.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-11-2003 07:55 PM                        Yes, John ... I believe she's got a VP title.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 11-11-2003 09:52 PM                        My advice would definitely be to write to the district manager of the theatre you're wanting to photo. The GM of that theatre would probably be happy to give you his/her phone number.

They have the ultimate say with anything with the media. I would love to have my pictures posted here to show off my theatre, but alas, that needs to go through corporate.  |  IP: Logged Travis Hubrig Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Minot ND, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 11-21-2003 04:04 PM                     Carmike Cinemas - Gary Krannacker, General Manager of Theatre Operations  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 11-22-2003 08:34 AM                     As we jave found, no permission is needed to take exterior photos from the street or any oublic vantage point. Nor is permission needed to use the photographs. If permission were necessary it would be just about impossible for news media to use any pictures etc. That is pretty much what our attorney told us.  |  IP: Logged
