My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Film lovers, cinema aficionados, those who like movies that aren't filtered through test screenings.

Everyone in the Des Moines area who wants to rent films without having to wait for them in their que.

Everyone in Des Moines who remembers movies and watching movies are about people and community, culture and shared sensation, not waiting for them to come and go in the mail or a place where a guy in a blue or red vest and a nametag checks you out.

People with moving celluloid on the brain.
