Movie-theater drama has come to every business, w/Alamo Drafthouse CEO Shelli Taylor

As big movie chains shut down, Shelli Taylor's determined to keep her theaters open.

Her balancing act – a conviction that long-term demand will be strong, while near-term economics are dismal – is familiar among entrepreneurial leaders.
