Scenes from a Multiplex, 2020.

"Scenes from a Multiplex" is a collection of memoirs from a former movie theater usher. Through a series of workplace vignettes, the essay captures the spirit of an eclectic local cinema while offering reflections on the moviegoing experience amid broader changes in the film industry.
