It took me a long time to figure out what I was going to choose for the final project. Two weeks ago while sitting in my Video Editing class, I found inspiration. We screened a project titled Detroit J'taime. The project involved finding an aspect about the city that we liked and create a short 3 minute documentary on it.
One groupchose The Redford Theater, which is the headquarters of The Motor City Theatre Organ Society. The MCTOS is committed to the preservation and restoration of pipe organs. The MCTOS is a 501 (c) (3) organization. The Redford Theatre itself commits to showing classic movies in a classic movie house design. Twice a month the theatre shows films for low ticket prices. Located in Detroit, the theatre has volunteer staff that keeps everything running smoothly.
The Reford continually undergoes restoration and is in need of funding to complete its' theatre seating restorations. The Redford received a grant for half of the restorations. The staff has a continuing fund raising drive to complete the project.
The thetre is well worth restoring as a rare but needed institution in the city and I hope to be of help in The Rredford's mission
