How Alamo Drafthouse is redefining the cinema experience
If you don't already know about the Alamo Drafthouse cinema chain, it could change your view of going to the movies. Alamo Drafthouse is the brainchild of Tim League, a hardcore film buff since high school. It started small almost 20 years ago in Austin, Texas, but has grown into a high-concept theater chain with more than two dozen locations nationwide. Dana Jacobson reports from the newest site in Brooklyn, New York.

Alamo Drafthouse Offered Free Viewing of The Upside
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. The Alamo Drafthouse held a special event on Saturday afternoon, giving free tickets to people in wheelchairs to see the new movie The Upside.
Southwest Center for Independent Living partnered with the Alamo to make this happen.
One of the goals is to see if movie theaters around Springfield have good accommodations for people in wheelchairs.
Each theater has a wheelchair or handicap accessible aisle, said Jennifer Johnmeyer, creative manager at the Alamo Drafthouse, so there's room for companion seats, and we can move some of the seats out for wheelchairs.
Johnmeyer said at the Alamo, each theater has eight to twelve wheelchair seats.
I was actually pretty surprised, said Derrick Duncan, normally, I stay in my chair when I see a movie, but their seating was pretty easy for me to just transfer over into. And they actually had a lot of room for other wheelchairs to accommodate. So I was pretty surprised.
And Shannon Porter, CEO of Southwest Center for Independent Living tells KOLR10 another goal of the day.
We wanted our spinal cord injury support group to come with us so that they could see how well the movie did in representing them and their challenges, and also the fact that they can live independently as anyone else with supports, Porter explained.
It's a movie that relates to a lot of us, I have a spinal cord injury, and I'm paralyzed, in a power wheelchair, the character in the movie is also, said Andrew Smith, Executive Director of SLICE.
Smith told KOLR10 how he related to the movie.
Currently in Springfield, there's a lack of active caregivers, so we're having some of those issues ourselves, Smith said.
Other moviegoers also said the film does a pretty good job representing people in wheelchairs.
The spinal cord support group is getting together on Thursday, to discuss future potential solutions on the lack of caregivers.

Angry Voicemail We Got From an Alamo Drafthouse Customer
We do not tolerate people that talk or text in the theater. In fact, before every film we have several warnings on screen to prevent such happenings. Occasionally, someone doesn't follow the rules, and we do, in fact, kick their asses out of our theater.
This video is an actual voicemail from a woman that was kicked out of one of our Austin theaters. Thanks, anonymous woman, for being awesome – from all of us here at your favorite theater in the Magnited States of America.
