The Outdoor Movie Season is Upon Us

We LOVE movies. Especially outdoor screenings of movies. There is something singularly special about the cinema al fresco experience that you cannot get from the multiplex.

We have operated a roaming outdoor cinema in San Antonio since 2002. We started out with a sheet and a borrowed projector in front of our local video store and have since grown to three inflatable screens with regular series throughout the city. In the past ten years, we have seen enormous growth in the number of outdoor film events. With the increased availability of inflatable screens, outdoor movies are literally popping-up all over.

One purpose of this blog is to promote outdoor film events worldwide. Send us your listings and we will help spread the word.

We are also interested in hearing from outdoor movie producers like ourselves. There are a lot of challenges to putting on a live movie event, no matter if your audience is ten-thousand or just ten. Please, share your stories. What works? What hasn't? What have been your worst outdoor cinema production nightmares? [One of ours: someone forgot to turn off the automatic sprinklers and they came on halfway into our event. What a huge, wet mess!]

Very Funny Scene from Portlandia. 
[Unfortunately, we've seen behavior that rivals this.]

See you at the movies,
Angela
