We the undersigned indicate our support for and recommendation to keep the theater (formerly Camera 12) a movie and/or joint movie/entertainment venue for downtown residents.

This theater has served as an integral part of our cultural and entertainment life in downtown San Jose. As the only first-run theater in the central core of this city, it provides access to valuable opportunities not otherwise possible in our community, including the prestigious Cinequest film festival, which brings in critical revenue to local business and hotels every year.

We urge the City of San Jose and the County of Santa Clara to work with Forrest City Properties to actively seek out a new tenant that will maintain this facility as a movie theater and/or mixed entertainment venue.
