I hope Alamo asks their fans to pitch-in as they can so Drafthouse survives and thrives. Saying this so solely as a loyal customer: I bought a bunch of tees[0] and hoodies[1] as holiday gifts through their Mondo store. They look great and are super high-quality. I have 0 affiliation, but a vested interest in having them back online sooner than later.
Between Drafthouses in Yonkers (NY) and DTLA, I've seen Live Programs with Crispin Glover, Penn Jillette, and makers I hadn't known previously. I've been to moderated screenings with audiences half-full of first-timers seeing Blazing Saddles, A Day at the Races, Spirited Away (subs v dubs), and me as the first-timer seeing Casablanca front-to-back on the big screen. Their pre-show reels are crafted with skill and care and with clever relevance to their feature films from multiple angles.
The org is run by folks who clearly love movies and create experiences for others who do too. They seem like they would be ethical in their handling of vendor relations through Chapter 11, though that's always TBD.
'Alamo Victory' is a good program w/r/t heds-up re event schedule, ticket-less admittance & card-less settle-ups, and reasonable perks for going to pictures. Victory's newsletter and mobile apps are a good place to start letting fans know how we can help.
