The National Association of Theater Owners and the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation on Monday launched a new fund to provide assistance to the scores of movie-theater workers left without a paycheck after nearly all cinemas around the country have closed their doors.
The Pioneers Assistance Fund was started with $2.4 million initially; Nato and the Foundation are encouraging members of the film industry to donate to further increase support of those who work in exhibition.
