OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHTS

Outdoor movie screen rental.

A movie night that doesn't wait for dark. LED trailers hold a clear picture at dusk, so the show starts when you planned — in a park, at a pool, on a school field or a main street.

WHO BOOKS THIS

Parks, pools, neighborhoods and schools.

Movie nights are one of the most common community events we support.

City parks & rec

Movies-in-the-park series — including movie nights at the Overland Park Arboretum.

Pools & aquatic centers

Dive-in movies with the screen at the pool edge so swimmers and the deck both see it.

HOAs & neighborhoods

A screen on the common green — Olathe's Hampton Park movie night is a typical booking.

Schools & PTAs

Family movie night on the field or the blacktop.

Main streets & districts

Screenings in a closed-off block or plaza.

Churches & nonprofits

Outreach nights and fundraisers with a pre-show loop and sponsor thank-yous.

HOW IT WORKS

Delivered, raised and playing.

You pick the film and the spot. We bring the trailer, connect your playback source and get the screen ready before the crowd arrives.

  • Playback

    A Blu-ray player, streaming device or laptop — we connect it and run the pre-show and the feature.

  • Power planned ahead

    Battery, generator or venue power depending on the trailer and the site.

  • Audio when you need it

    Dialogue has to carry to the back row. Audio can be added to the quote if the site doesn't have sound.

  • Licensing

    Public screenings need a public performance license from the studio's licensing agent. We don't supply the film license.

RECOMMENDED SETUPS

What usually works.

Most park and neighborhood movie nights fit a 12′ × 7′; big park series and districts step up to the 16′ × 9′. Indoor movie nights use a custom wall.

FAQ

Outdoor Movie Screens questions

Yes. That's the main reason to rent LED instead of a projector — at 7,500 nit the picture is clear at dusk.
