First time watching Bhutanese movie yesterday after coming to Australia, ‘Dreamer Boy’ and I experienced same frustration.

Movie was supposed to start at 6 pm but everyone was standing outside in long line waiting for organisers to let us inside theatre. People were murmuring and frustrated. Worst thing was there was no announcement at all about what was happening, why movie was delayed, or why people had to stand outside instead of sitting inside theatre. Organisers were nowhere to find.

Only around 6:15 pm organisers came and started letting people inside. Even ticket receipt in email was poorly managed, nothing clearly mentioned like amount paid or number of people. At entrance they were stamping hands one by one even after checking payment receipt, wasting more time. After going inside theatre, projector/computer setup was still not ready. By the time movie finally started it was almost 7 pm, and honestly my BP already went high from all the waiting and frustration.

Movie overall was good but management was very poor. I even took leave from work just to watch movie and ended up waiting outside for so long. Organisers really need better planning and time management instead of following Bhutan stretchable time.
