[Frameworks] Theater screens and chairs

[Scott Dorsey]

Purchase a proper microperf screen.  Put a sound system behind the screen
that is designed for the application.  Get proper curtains that can be
controlled from the booth.  If your budget reaches far enough, get proper
black masking.

Do not get a conventionally-perforated screen, it will not work well in a
small screening room because the people are too close to the screen.  Spend
a little more money for the microperf.

I don't know the suppliers in LA, but you can look in the back of Box Office
magazine and see a lot of companies that sell theatre seats, screens, and
supplies.  Or you can get onto http://www.film-tech.com and ask those guys
there; that is where all the old-time theatre projectionists hang out.  They
will know who in LA has a warehouse full of old theatre seats they are trying
to get rid of.

On the east coast I would send you to Cardinal Sound and Motion Picture in 
Baltimore, or Boston Light and Sound up in Boston, or International Cinema
in Miami.
