In 1939, our family patriarch Joseph Kelly entered into the theatre industry as a projectionist at the Coney Island Theatre in Brooklyn, NY. After enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1942, he became the projectionist for his fellow Navy troops at the Brooklyn Navy Yard base throughout World War II. Following the end of the war, Joe began working with his uncle in his projection repair business.
Opportunities soon found him, first as a job working as a sound engineer for ABC television and later on as the head of the projection and sound department at Skouras Theatres. Skouras was later acquired by the United Artists Theatre Circuit, allowing Joe to be promoted to the vice president of engineering. During that time, Joe and a partner went on to create Kelmar Systems; however, the added responsibilities of his United Artists position led Joe to give up his share in Kelmar.
In the early 1970s, his sons, John, Tom and Jim joined Joe at United Artists Theatres in various capacities. All Cinema was founded in 1980 to handle the manufacturing overflow as a result of United Artists' agressive theatre expansion program and provide aisle lighting installion services. In 1986, Jim and Tom left United Artists to become the principals of All Cinema Sales and Services and were later joined by Joe in 1989. With over 30 years of theatre experience, our work scope has grown in diversity to consist of electrical services, projection and sound installation and repair, as well as aisle lighting installation and repair to help simplify your needs as our customers.
