I used to sneak into the local cinema and
steal movie posters while nobody was around. Fortunately my criminal career
ended soon after the cinema manager, caught me in the act and gave him the
option, face the music or work to feed your obsession. Thank you for giving
me the choice, David.
Within weeks I was hand lacing film through the old 35mm carbon-rod-burner-projectors, splicing film and finding the cigarette burns like a seasoned pro. I virtually ran the projection booth for the next three years, and never tired of it. One of my fondest memories, and probably the defining moment in my life, was when Bill, sadly I do not remember his last name; He was the cinema chains area manager in the Northern Territory, Australia, gave me a special gift. For my fourteenth birthday, Bill gave me two books. Both books were frame by frame photo-plays of The Malteses Falcon & Psycho. Annotated in the front cover of each was "Follow your dreams" signed, Uncle Bill. |
