The Mayfair Theatre managed to raise enough money in 2012 to afford a digital cinema package and stay in business in the evolving film industry.
Since 1889, movies everywhere have been shot, distributed, and projected at 24 frames per second on 35-mm film, but come January 2013, all new projects will be shot digitally.
