Tired of forking over $15 for a movie ticket? You might want to take Mark Elijah Rosenberg's lead. One summer evening in 1997, Rosenberg climbed up to the roof of his apartment building on 14th Street near Avenue A, taped a bedsheet to a wall, and invited some friends over to watch an assortment of short films threaded through a 16mm projector. Well, movie-goers it's time to bring the romance back without breaking the wallet. Just bring a white bed sheet, a projector, and your latest bootleg to your rooftop and create movie magic.
