Our Staff

Josh Mason

Executive Director

Josh hails from Houston, TX, but grew up on Cape Cod.  Movies were a cornerstone to Josh’s life from an early age.  He would run around with his parents’ VHS camcorder making movies when he wasn’t invested in school, work, or sports.  During high school, Josh met former Cape Cinema owner Eric Hart, who hired Josh to work at the Cape Cinema for two years behind the concession stand.  In 2000 he graduated from Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School having focused on multimedia studies and film production. He attended Hofstra University in New York graduating with a Bachelors degree in Film Production in 2004. 

In late 2004 Josh relocated to Los Angeles to pursue work in the television and film industry.  Following a stint as a personal assistant to Ellen DeGeneres, Josh worked for Trailer Park, a movie trailer house in Hollywood, curating music for movie trailers.  Josh also wrote and directed a successful web series called “Flagged for Removal” which was in pre-production discussions to become a network show.  Unfortunately, the national economic challenges hit Hollywood in 2010 and put a pause on pilot developments.  Josh moved forward relocating to Brooklyn, NY and briefly worked for a talent agency.  Ultimately, Josh ended up back on Cape Cod in 2014 to hit the reset button.

Since being back on Cape Cod full time Josh spent four years in hospitality management. In 2018 Josh became politically active in the community. Josh was appointed to the Dennis Affordable Housing Trust, the Dennis Planning Board, and voted in to represent the Town of Dennis on the Barnstable HOME Consortium. He also teamed up with members of the Cape Cod school systems and mental health professionals as a member of the Community Partnership Committee to assist the Cape’s youth dealing with mental illness and substance abuse. Josh attended the Dennis Citizens Police Academy and upon completion, he joined the Dennis Police Community Crisis Intervention Team to help law enforcement and the Cape’s mental health organizations in assisting members of the community dealing with mental health and substance use related challenges.  In 2020 Josh ran for State Representative coming up shy of a victory.  Following his campaign he was elected as the Board President for B Free Wellness, a social justice and wellness recovery organization.

Prior to the pandemic, Josh reconnected with Eric Hart to help the Cape Cinema acquire a food and liquor license.  A renewed friendship between Josh and Eric formulated leading to discussions about the future of the Cape Cinema.  By 2021 Josh had become the Executive Director at the Cape Cinema, working tirelessly to acquire over $500,000 in operations grants to re-open the Cape Cinema after the pandemic shut the cinema down for a year.  Presently Josh’s first passion the movies, has come full circle and he is excited to continue bringing diverse content and community organizations into the Cape Cinema and upholding its rich legacy well into the future.

John Crowley III

General Manager

John Crowley III is currently the General Manager at The Cape Cinema. He earned degrees in both Biology and Entomology before circumstances led to working a few years as IT support at his old high school. Eventually he found his way to the Cinema where he put his tech skills and head for business to good use beginning in 2017. Since then he has risen to his current position and obtained a Masters in Business Administration and continues to use those skills for the Cinema’s benefit. Outside of work, John has a passion for fantasy, horror, and science fiction. He reads often, self-publishes table-top gaming content, and creates new homebrew recipes in his free time. He also has a love for films growing up on the likes of John Carpenter and the Hammer Films monster movies. Beyond that John has a deep love for some more niche content like Toho’s collection of Godzilla and hopes to bring more like Ghidorah, the Three-headed Monster to the Cape Cinema.

Favorite Movie – The Mummy (1999)

Josef Quirinale

Assistant Manager

Josef Quirinale has long focused on the “art” of presentation.  After several years in New York City as a Theatre Production Manager and Children’s Theatre Director, Josef owned and operated a country inn and restaurant, and later a specialty foods shop and catering operation. Then came a 25-year career as a corporate food service General Manager in University Dining, where every day, every meal was “show time”. 

Gaining a love of film from his father, and later sharing that interest with his two sons, Josef has very fond memories of watching Sunday afternoon “double features” while growing up in Lawrence, Mass. – which was, at the time, home to four grand movie “palaces”.  Choosing a favorite film is nearly impossible. Mention a 30’s or 40’s drama, comedy or a movie musical of any period, or films by Capra, Hitchcock or David Lean, and the list becomes extensive. His most-loved and most watched film is “Dr. Zhivago”, but then there is also “Rebecca”, “GWTW”, “San Francisco”, “Godfather II”…the list just goes on….

Josef enjoys the intimacy of the Cape Cinema, and how the theatre provides numerous opportunities for lively discussions on the variety of movies being shown.

Favorite Movie – Dr. Zhivago

Eric Hart

President

Eric Hart grew up in Brewster, Mass., graduated from Nauset High School, and went to an experimental college in Franconia, New Hampshire where he studied psychology and education and fell in love with foreign films. He did graduate work at Lesley College and then at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., where he was a teacher of special needs students in high school for some thirty years.  He continued to return every summer to work at the Cinema, and in 1986 took over the business. When he retired from teaching in 2007, he established the Cinema as a year-round operation.

Favorite Movie: Wizard of Oz
