Tonight, I flew back to San Francisco (from Austin) to do a Q and A at the Red Vic Movie House. The Red Vic is a fantastic second-run movie theater that is cooperatively owned and operated. They show a great film pretty much every night of the week.
I was initially thinking of premiering "I Am A Sex Addict" at the Red Vic (they also sometimes show first run films, although these are usually films without a distributor), but they have a printed calendar and only one screen so it wouldn't have been possible to extend the run if it had done well. We premiered the film at the two-screen Balboa Theater instead, and it played there for 5 weeks, so it turned out to be the right choice. But I love the Red Vic, and am thrilled that the film is finally playing there.
It also happens to be my neighborhood theater - the only one within walking distance, so it's where I usually go when I feel like going to see a recent release. It's also the only movie theater in San Francisco (as far as I know) that sells nutritional yeast-flavored popcorn.
