Praise the Lord and pass the peanut sauce!
Posted by shanadavidgmailcom on Oct. 7, 2011, 2:46 p.m.Dear Everyone,
Well, you did it. You took your city's entertainment options into
your own hands by committing to buy a few tickets to a great new movie
theatre. Or you threw in some cash toward a good cause, wishing us
luck in our venture as new business owners in an economy where traditional
funding can be hard to come by. Sun-Ray Cinema at the 5 Points Theatre
will be funded because you dug into your own pockets in a way that
inspired those with deeper pockets to take notice of our project.
For that, and for your incredible support, we thank you. And breathe
a sigh of relief.
Rewards will be forthcoming as materials are created for our new
business. You can help that process move smoothly by keeping an eye out for an email from Ulule confirming the end of this campaign and for another one on Monday October 10th from Paypal letting you know your account will be debited. If you see the name "SEMIO" don't worry, that's Ulule's publisher. If you have any problems at all don't hesitate to get in touch.
After a brief shutdown for construction (and our fancy
catered soft opening, you lucky $250+ contributors) the cinema will
reopen under new leadership, hopefully just in time for that Tattooed
Dragongirl film to be enjoyed on a screen that's 50% bigger, in a
chair that's 100% comfier and -- yes-- with a glass of wine in hand.
See you at the movies.
Love,
Tim and Shana

So have you ever showed up for opening night of a movie only to find that you and your buddy can't sit together? Or do you like to arrive fashionably late but don't want to take those last two seats in the front row? Pledge $5000 and you'll be able to call our theatre hotline and have your choice of seats reserved and guarded by our vicious dog Snoopy. OK, the part about the dog is made up, we'll hang a little sign that'll keep those seats safe and sound until your arrival. This pledge also includes all rewards listed above.

Donating at the $10,000 level gets you all of the above rewards plus your own private screening of the film of your choice for up to 300 people, catered by the kitchen that you so generously helped to build. Private screenings are a great way to throw a memorable holiday gathering, birthday bash, unique wedding reception, or to show your employees how much you appreciate them. We'll work with you to customize your event, for example building a slideshow featuring your own photos and music, customizing the menu to your needs, and darn near anything else you can think of.

For $10001 or more:
We're open to tailoring rewards to donors at all levels. This is a great opportunity for businesses who want to get a head start by buying on-screen ads in bulk at a steeply discounted rate, folks who can get their Christmas shopping done early by purchasing a stack of tickets to give as gifts, or a chance to get nearly anything your little heart desires out of your new, neighborhood theater. Contact us to talk turkey.
Also if you're considering throwing down for, say, a lifetime of movie tickets but want to see the fine details in the business plan just drop a line and we'll send it your way.
