S1E18 A Dialogue on Independent Film led by Carole Skinner, co-owner of Boise’s Independent theater, The Flicks

Carole talks about the term “Independent Film” and what it means. She shares some things about a few of her favorite independent filmmakers as well as some of her memorable movie-going experiences.

She loves watching and talking about movies and looks forward to questions and thoughts from the audience.


Carole was born at Ft. Lewis, Washington and was raised in the Army, moving every two years throughout her childhood. Army posts usually had a roller rink, a bowling alley and a movie theater so Carole became an avid movie - goer all her life (she can also bowl and skate).

Carole earned a B.A. in English Literature at the University of Washington (as well as the money it took to attend by working full time).

Carole and husband Rick opened their independent theater, The Flicks, near downtown Boise in 1984. Rick is full of ideas, many of them good ones! Carole books the movies that play at The Flicks and still enjoys doing so. She has so much more help there than she did in the early years. The staff is a wonderful and caring group of people and The Flicks continues to succeed because of them.

Carole and Rick hope independent theaters throughout Idaho (and the entire US) will survive this pandemic.
