About:

When Jeff Brein washed up on Bainbridge Island with years working at Disney under his belt and a love for movies, he couldn’t live without having access to the big screen right at his fingertips. Who wants to take a ferry boat to the big city when you can have a locally owned theater right in your back yard?

With popcorn on the dinner menu, Jeff and his wife Merna liked to catch a flick at least once a week. That inspired him to expand his “career” from running Quinn/Brein a successful Public Relations agency to creating a second business, Far Away Entertainment.

First order of business was to build a first run theater on Bainbridge Island in 1997, with the town’s Mayor, Sam Granato. As a part of their new partnership, Jeff and Sam elected to preserve Sam’s Historic Lynwood Theatre … because sometimes you’re in the mood for charm, independent fare and real butter on your popcorn.
