Planning Your Own Drive-In Movie Experience

Drive-in movies are always fun, which makes them the perfect activity for fundraiser events and celebrations. With ON LOCATION DRIVE-IN THEATRE, we make it easy for clients to set up their own drive-in experience in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and the Philadelphia area. Along with letting attendees know what to bring (FM radios, seat cushions), here are some personnel that you should consider:

• Crew Manager
• Parking Attendants (Three Minimum)

• Security
• Liability Insurance (Proof Of Insurance)
• Sell Concessions

• Box Office/Gate Personnel
• Cleanup Crew
• Corporate Sponsors

• Permits
• Film Licensing
• Banners, Flags

Setup Procedure

Setting up the first two rows is critical to giving each car a clear line of sight, and if a stage or platform is needed to elevate the screen, it will have to be at least 42' x 20' x 8' and supplied by the event sponsor. This should be assessed before the day of the event.

We begin setting up at your venue location approximately one to two hours before the gates open. First, the screen is raised, and then an audio check is completed. We get the projection test done as soon as possible to ensure the program will start at dusk or your established start time. After the show, all equipment is removed within 90 minutes.

Choosing Your Site

When looking for an appropriate site, make sure cars will have easy access to enter and exit. Check for street lights or parking lot lighting in the area that may affect the screen, and ensure that the area has the electricity needed to power the equipment. Some venues may also require a licensed DVD/Blu-ray for the event.
