Oh, it was wonderful. And President Obama had just been there. And we went with a number of artists, Smokey Robinson and Dave Matthews and John Guare, the playwright and wonderful group.

I am both optimistic and concerned. It's wonderful that these classic films, which continue to have such vitality, and they will continue to be shown on streaming or wherever you look for films. It is a challenge to how the theatrical film experience will develop in the future.
