Overall: @Hinnk: Great work! However, one small suggestion, I think that both the article and the hook would be more interested if you mentioned that the change to the projector cost several thousand dollars. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|she) 02:51, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've added that to the article, and here are two alternative hooks with that fact:

ALT1: ... that screening Nathaniel Dorsky's short film Triste in the New York Film Festival required a projector upgrade costing several thousand dollars?

ALT2: ... that screening Nathaniel Dorsky's short film Triste at the Walter Reade Theater required a projector upgrade costing several thousand dollars? hinnk (talk) 07:40, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great! My order of preference here is ALT1 > ALT2 > ALT0, but I'll leave it to the promoter. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|she) 09:21, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
