Everybody is into creating content for a dwindling market of Cinemas. I'm into creating Cinemas for the Masses of content out there. Ok. So I am in Africa where Cinemas are only situated in the Large Metro Areas. South Africa for instance has 50 million people, 10 million of whom have access to cinema. That's 40 million NEW Cinema Clients in SA alone. What about the rest of Africa. ? Cater to the massive untapped audience that out there, instead of trying to capture a tiny portion of the already saturated western market. My opinion anyway.

Thanks for the feedback. Just been fighting apathy and corruption in government for 2 years. Everybody just wants a kickback to do their job.

Good day John. I came across this project earlier today and it sounds like an amazing way to bridge, in entertainment terms at least, the tremendous wealth gap in South Africa. It brought back memories of a short documentary I watched a few years back entitled "Salim Baba" which looked at mobile cinemas in India. The joy that the moving image can bring to the faces of a population is something which drew me to the industry in the first place, so I really hope this project gets picked up. If you ever need any assistance in any way please let me know. This is something close to my heart so I'd be happy to help.

Hi David. Thanks for your feedback. Just letting you know that we now have film makers jumping at the chance to get thier films on screen. We are still small, but watch this space. 1200 Cinema screens on their way. Woops, I forgot that we have 6 screens per cinema.
a good idea.
