Why own it
If you show movies more than six or eight times a year, renting adds up. Owning the setup means you can plan a full season, add a movie to any event and lend or rent it to neighboring towns.
We size the system to your crowd and your venue, buy it, set it up with you and train your people until they’re comfortable running a show alone.
What’s in the box
- Projector bright enough for your screen and crowd
- Outdoor screen with frame or truss
- Powered speakers, and a subwoofer if you need one
- Playback device, cables, power and road cases
- A printed setup guide written for volunteers
How it works
Talk it through
A free call or a visit to your venue. Crowd size, power, storage, budget, how often you’ll use it.
We build and deliver
You get a written quote with every item listed. We buy, test and deliver the system.
First show together
We train your team on setup and run the first night side by side. After that, we’re a phone call away.
Questions
Who is it for?
Cities and parks departments with a summer series, churches and schools with regular family nights, and venues, ranches and RV parks that host guests.
What about the movie license?
You’ll need one for every public showing, from Swank Motion Pictures or Criterion Pictures. We’ll show you how to order one, and whether an annual umbrella license makes sense if you show movies often.
What if something breaks?
Everything comes with its maker’s warranty. Most problems can be solved over the phone, and we can loan you equipment while a part is being repaired.
Can we start small and add on?
Yes. A common path is starting with powered speakers and a mid-size screen, then adding a subwoofer or a larger screen in year two.
