    Studio 35 has been a landmark of Clintonville and an inspiration to independent movie theaters since its doors first opened Feb. 17, 1938. It sits among a chain of locally owned stores on Indianola Avenue and its old-fashioned protruding movie marquee makes it stand out.

    Studio 35 has gone through many changes in the 70 years since it began showing movies, and has managed to survive in a day where giant, corporate-owned theaters rule the industry.
