Ep866: IndieSeen: ONLY IN THEATERS w/ Raphael Sbarge and Greg and Tish Laemmle

Published: April 3, 2023, 1:26 p.m.

This month, Ian and Sujewa welcome special guests filmmaker Raphael Sbarge and subjects Greg and Tish Laemmle to discuss their documentary, Only In Theaters!

This eye-opening roller coaster of a movie traces the history of L.A.'s most prominent independent theater chain back to the very origin of the film industry--and charts the Laemmle family's ups and downs in the face of streaming services and a global pandemic that brought an entire industry to its knees.

Here, Sbarge and the Laemmles talk about how the project came together; how it evolved during several extremely challenging developments; and how things have continued to change since the film's release last year.

Plus: Sujewa shares updates on his upcoming film, Cosmic Disco Detective Rene, and the Laemmle's involvement with its premiere!

Chicagoans! This Saturday (4/8/23) you can catch Only In Theaters at the Music Box Theatre! As an added bonus, Greg and Tish Laemmle will be on hand after the 4:30pm show for a Q&A! More info below.
