Gerrard Cinema - put together a proposal?

I'm new to Leslieville, but grew up not far from the Bloor Cinema...

So, I don't know much about the history of the Gerrard Cinema and I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about whether the owners might consider showing some other movies in addition to what they're currently showing.

I'd be game to join with some others and put together some kind of a "proposal" if there's interest and the possibility of a positive reception...

It does seem like a rep. theatre can be a wonderful part of a great neighbourhood!

So I know of about half a dozen "for sures" and another half a dozen "maybes" in the "generally interested people" category. Euan and one of two other Grinder people will be there. Allan, who owns the Gerrard Cinema, is supposed to be attending as is someone from Paula Fletcher's office...

Hi everyone, I'm a reporter with the Town Crier, which covers Leslieville in its Beaches-South Riverdale edition. Our paper is doing a story on this for Friday and I would appreciate a chance to speak with anyone on here who's been involved in this. (I know this meeting has already happened, but we are interested in finding out where these efforts stand now.) Please contact me if you attended the meeting, or even if you just have thoughts about what should be done: 416-785-4311 ext 344 or corr@mytowncrier.ca. Thanks in advance for getting in touch.

I've just moved to the neighbourhood and this thread looks interesting - have there been any more developments?

Hi DT -

There are ongoing discussions and a fair bit of interest. There's a Google Group that's been started called "Reinventing Gerrard Cinema." I'm new to Google Groups, but I think you should be able to track us down with the group name and with a request, you'll be able to join the group.

Glad you're interested and hope you find us (if you have any difficulties, write again here and I'm sure we can figure it out!).

I would definetly support the Gerrard Cinema becoming a rep theatre. That would be the coolest!! I don't know how much time I have to put forward a proposal but I wanted to say that I really support this initiative!!
