"Preserve Me A Seat" chronicles efforts to save historic theaters OMAHA, NE (NET Radio) -

























In the summer of 2001, Omaha's Indian Hills Theater was slated for demolition. It had closed the previous fall, and Methodist Health System had bought the property to make room for a parking lot. A beginning filmmaker, Jim Fields, decided to try out his newly-purchased camera and get some footage of the last days of the theater. The film, "Preserve Me a Seat," was finished this spring, and debuts this coming week in Grand Island, Lincoln and Omaha:
