Off The Beaten Path



I'm a big fan of independent films, but usually these films don't make it to the main stream theater. For those of you who do not know, I want to point out a few of the theaters that do show independent films. One is right here in Dayton, OH, close to the Oregon District. It's the Neon Movie Theater. It's a small quirky theater that usually only shows two movies at a time. The people who work there are really friendly and seem to have a strong passion for indie films, as well as local film makers. There is also a theater a little north in Yellow Springs, OH called Little Art Theater. It is also a small theater that only shows one or two movies at a time. It's in the center of Yellow Springs which is kind of a little hippie town filled with art, music and food. There are plenty of beautiful outdoor spaces to go hiking. Another theater is The Esquire. It's in a really cool section of Cincinnati surrounded by artsy shops, yummy restaurants, and amazing Indian food. The Esquire is larger than the other theaters and shows main stream films as well as indie films. So, step off the beaten path, get out of your comfort zone, and venture out to one of these theaters to see a different kind of movie
