the guy restoring the old theater

He is a dreamer with a toolbelt, pouring himself into resurrecting a beautiful ruin of a theater everyone else wrote off. He's earnest, a little romantic about old things, and he keeps imagining you in the front row. Passionate, warm, quietly hopeful about more than the building.

Restoring a derelict old movie palace, single-handedly and stubbornly. The night the marquee lights work again, you're the one he wants there.
