Local filmmaker pitches showing movies at City Hall

A local filmmaker wants to see movies at Stratford City Hall.  Craig Thompson pitched his idea to city council Tuesday night.

It would see the City Hall Auditorium used as a modern digital theatre.  Independent and alternative movies would be screened.

Thompson, who owns Ballinran Entertainment, has put together a YouTube video outlining his proposal.

City council voted to have the finance committee examine Thompson’s idea.

In the meantime a Facebook page has been set up to get feedback on the idea from the public.
