Over at The Jiffy Newsletter, I've been working on a series that looks at the culture and industry of the local cinema scene here in the Hudson Valley. I'm calling it "The Jiffy's Summer At The Movies."

In part one, I interviewed Mike Burdge and Diana DiMuro, who closed their Story Screen Cinema in Hudson to much heartbreak for us moviegoers.

In this episode, I sit with Paul Sturtz, co-director of Upstate Films, to learn about how a nonprofit organization stays alive.
