Saban Building at the Academy Museum

Completed in 1939, the Saban Building was originally built as the May Company Building, a Streamline Moderne department store at the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax along the Miracle Mile in Los Angeles, California. Recently redeveloped, the Saban Building has been home to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures since 2021. 

 

Previews, More Edits & Fine Cut Progress

For those inquiring, the Monarch documentary entered another round of previews this week bringing the project another step closer to completion. Just over 80 minutes of runtime has now been locked as work on the fine cut continues to progress.

The final section of the documentary is now the focus (representing at least another 30 minutes in the 3rd act) - and about that ending, it does seem like the stars may be aligning for some news to break about the future of the cinema very soon. While nothing is official yet, it does seem like we're on track for completion leading into this summer.

Editing progress continues to be slow and steady, but we're getting there!

 

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

Modelled after a 1950's drive-in movie theatre, the Sci-Fi Dine-In is a themed restaurant located within Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida. Complete with miniature cars with built in tables and a large screen playing B-movie trailers and concession ads, the Sci-Fi Dine-In is the perfect spot for a rest and a step back in time.
