And that means more audiences for films made with our groundbreaking technology. Our first film, "U2 3D," shot on the band's Vertigo tour and released last February, was lauded as "a technical achievement" and "a work of art" by the New York Times, and pronounced "even better than the real thing" by USA Today. We look forward to being able to bring these kinds of films to a dramatically wider audience: they deserve it.

It is a solution to movie previews, and customer management in the theatres. Theater patrons would also be able to receive promotions much easier. A friend and I have started a company called CARZO Experience, and have a new modular business model for the movie industry. We believe it would be a perfect dovetail to this the NATO digital theater program. Please contact me at (408) 476-3750 or mdcnet1@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration.

We have a tendency to kick people out if they are not with a parent or guardian of 21 or older, as well as those that are sneaking into movies. Making movies that are unrated is simply atrocious, for it is the movie's content that makes the movie rated R or NC17. Making it unrated doesn't change the content, and until the content changes we simply can't allow people to see movies that are Rated R or NC 17 In the box office of our theaters, we card people when they are going to see a NC17 or Rated R movie.
