Special THANKS to Editor, Rachel Cericola for the great article!

Making an entrance…



Due to my work with film, I have converted a small room in my home into a screening room.
I built the entire theater myself including the box office window.

I hand painted a life cast of actor Johnny Depp and turned him into “Captain Jack Sparrow”, the ticket taker.

The theater features an Optoma High-Definition Projector and a 110 inch 1.85:1 aspect ratio film screen.
Surround sound is delivered through a PIONEER Elite THX Receiver and an ATLANTIC TECHNOLOGY THX CERTIFIED Speaker System.
And being the obsessive compulsive person that I am, iI couldn’t just have a plain screening room.
There are classical architectural elements throughout the theater.
Heavy gold crown mouldings and ornate medallions frame the screen.

The heart of the system is a PIONEER ELITE THX Surround Receiver.

Atlantic Technology THX CERTIFIED Speakers envelope viewers with earth shaking sound.

UPDATE 9/21/08- I have added gold silk and red suede cloth panels to the ceiling of the theater.



UPDATE: July 8, 2009
I finally installed 12 Irwin CINEMA SEATS!


STAY TUNED!

2/9/2010 - I moved my lifesized Frank Sinatra into the projection booth at the back of my theater.
