It’s been an eventful as few weeks for the Milford Independent Cinema in western Oakland County.

Last month, the board of directors announced the theater would be closing at the end of January unless $70,000 could be raised. The non-profit movie house is operated by the Huron Valley Film Organization, which is made up of community members.

On the last day of January, Huron Valley Film Organization board member Julie Hill-Lin contacted One Detroit Senior Producer Bill Kubota with the news: they found the funding and they’re staying open.

Kubota had been putting the finishing touches on a feature story for One Detroit he shot last year about how the Milford Independent Cinema came to be and how it operated when all this news came down.
