As Rooftop Cinema Club founder Gerry Cottle Jr. will tell you, his idea for the wildly popular outdoor venue came out of a circus. Born into a circus family (his father owned one), he loved to entertain. But the circus wasn’t where he wanted to remain, so he did the opposite of the norm—he ran away from the circus, went to London and eventually became an event planner, until he finally quit his job with a great idea.
