Overview
Unable to purchase a $50,000 digital projector, a group of film fanatics in rural Pennsylvania fight to keep a dying drive-in theater alive by screening only vintage 35mm film prints and working entirely for free.
This is a documentary about a stubborn and dedicated group that give so much of themselves to keep open a drive-in. Their dedication is really amazing although at times I found myself marveling at the lengths that some people will go to re-live their childhood. I love movies as much as anyone but I much prefer to watch them on a giant screen in my home. That said, I get the communal experience that they are trying to preserve and commend them for it.
