Every Saturday night on a desolate stretch of Main Street, District 319 casts a ray of light and movie magic. The newly refurbished movie house, which was the home base of the film producer William Vince, is just a few rundown storefronts away from the itinerant souls huddled around the Carnegie Community Centre at Hastings Street.
Vince, the producer of "Capote" and Saved!", among other fine films, talked of wanting to make the ramshackle neighbourhood "feel alive again." "It frustrates me that there's no pride in the area," he said. Vince died, of cancer, on June 21, 2008. He was 44.
