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.

In-Wall Storage for my Blu-Ray Movies.

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. :)
