Ryan Howell, a former projectionist at the Ioka Theater recently graduated from UNH with a BFA in photography. I asked him to become a part of our efforts  as it would make this film all the more significant. One of the reasons for wanting to create my thesis on this building is the fact that the building has not been clearly documented in the past. Howell often carried around his array of cameras while working at the theater, shooting when he felt compelled.

His photographs are on flickr but soon will be hosted on our server…

Howell has photographed the Ioka for over 6 years

Kirk Membry of Moss Creek Media showed up early the night of December 23rd 2008 to capture Ioka’s beauty before it was too late. That night the Ioka was opened to the public for a free screening of Miracle on 34th Street…an event put together by Ryan Howell (an Ioka projectionist).
