Secret Cinema -Ghostbusters.


Last Saturday I stage-managed for the lovely people at Secret Cinema. We were showing Ghostbusters, at the Lawrence Hall near Victoria, which we did up to look like the Sedgewick Hotel from the movie. As people arrived they saw a NY taxi pull up with Dana in and her rush into the building, followed by Louis, then the Ghostbusters arrived in the appropriate car, and a CNN van turned up. NY newspaper boys gave out copies of the newspapers from the film, and as the audience walked through the foyer/ hotel lobby, they were given room keys. They walked through a series of installations of sets from the film (including Darla's appartment in which I had accidentally secured a fake sideboard to a fake fridge by simply drilling through both....) and watched the film in the 'ballroom', afterwards, DJ Paul spun some 80's tunes. 912 people attended.

There are endless photos of the event here.
