The NY Daily News interviews Cobble Hill Cinema owner Harvey Elgart. He talks about how cool it is to own a movie theater and Heath Ledger:
NY Daily News: In Brooklyn…: “I just love the movies,” says Harvey Elgart, who operates the Cobble Hill Cinemas and the Kew Gardens Cinemas. “Always have, since I was a kid growing up in Sheepshead Bay. I like a place where you watch a really good film without distraction and disappear into the world of the movie. I personally choose the films that play in my theaters, and so in my own way I have a cultural impact on the community. I don’t play crap.”
He says his Cobble Hill theater attracts a lot of Brooklyn people involved in the movie business – Chris Rock, John Turturro, Marisa Tomei, Steve Buscemi, to name just four.
This guy knows his audience. Elgart says he’s still getting over the recent death of one of his most famous customers. [Full Story]
