Alexis Whitham, the General Manager of Rialto Cinemas Cerrito, was interviewed by ElCerritoPatch. Here’s a nice quote about Friends:
Some of our most successful events have been ones that we didn’t think of, or programs that the Friends of the Cerrito or the City of El Cerrito did. It’s really great to know that there’s community support that’s really keeping the place going (so that) maybe when we’re having a slow week we’ll have a great night with a Cerrito classic.
