PROVINCETOWN Since closing in March due to the threat of COVID-19, Waters Edge Cinema has still found ways to entice people to go to the movies. Initially offering films to watch online at home, through a platform called Cinesend, the cinema has since offered private on-site screenings for “pods” of up to 25 people, and is now looking at opening to the public.
But it all depends on science, data, and the community.
To gauge the local community’s interest in and comfort level for opening, Waters Edge is conducting a survey, linked on its Facebook page (facebook.com/watersedgecinema), covering questions from when patrons think they’d return to whether or not popcorn is non-negotiable. The survey takes about two minutes to complete.
