Cicada Cinema to open movie theater on Bloomington's near west side

This story has been updated because an earlier version included an inaccuracy. After 10 years of showing and promoting movies throughout the Bloomington area, Cicada Cinema will soon have its own theater space for films on Bloomington's near west side. Since May 1, dozens of people have helped in transforming the space at 615 N. Fairview St., Suite 1, so the volunteer-run nonprofit can open its own theater. Previously Cicada Cinema has screened films at the Orbit Room, the Back Door, Hopscotch Coffee, the FAR Center for Contemporary Arts and many other venues including city parks. Josh Brewer, manager, anticipates offering longer runs of new movies. The project "got bigger and better," he said after he purchased almost 70 theater seats from Wolf Cinema multi-plex in Greensburg, which closed. "They just couldn't run a multi-plex in a small town," Brewer explained. After buying the seats, Brewer and others had to detach the seats bolted to the floor inside the old cinema, getting dirty in the process from both the grimy floor and the seats. After transporting them to Bloomington, it took 9 1/2 hours for a team of about 20 volunteers to clean them in the parking lot outside the

Meet the construction worker who makes films

“Concrete finishers” ensure that a job site’s concrete is right. Screenwriters create stories for film; filmmakers then make a film. Las Vegas native and current Gosport, Indiana, resident Roc Anthony Bates Sr. does all three and has cemented his success in a second career. (Bates added the “Sr.” to clarify that he isn’t his son, whose name is similar.) Bates Sr., who continues to work in construction, has had a career in concrete finishing. But for $3 you can see his original vampire film, “Constance and Violence Part II" on Nov. 11 at the historic Tivoli Theatre in Spencer. (The younger Bates did hair and makeup for “Constance and Violence” Part I.) As a little boy, Bates Sr. informed his mother that he would be a rock star. The desire for work in the arts remained. “I started this (vampire) story about 10 years ago,” he said, “and let it sit. I had the whole story in my head.” He also had, by then, a nice 401K with which to finance his plan. And, his nest had recently been emptied of offspring. The single father was “learning to live without kids. I didn’t know what to buy at the grocery
