Outdoor movie screen rental.
An outdoor cinema that doesn't wait for dark. Showtime's trailer-mounted LED screens hold a crisp picture at dusk, so movie night starts on the schedule you printed — with delivery, placement, audio, power and teardown handled by our crew.

Movie nights are the most common community rental in Kansas City. These are the settings we run them in.
Movies-in-the-park series and one-off community screenings — Overland Park's Arboretum movie nights run on a Showtime trailer.
Dive-in movies with the screen placed at the pool edge so swimmers and deck seating both get a clear view.
Screens on a common green or cul-de-sac — Olathe's Hampton Park movie night is a typical neighborhood booking.
Family movie nights on the practice field or blacktop, with audio sized for the crowd and a start time that works for young kids.
Screenings in a closed-off block or district plaza, positioned so shops and patios keep sightlines.
Outreach nights and fundraisers with pre-show slides, sponsor thank-yous and the feature on one screen.
Delivered, raised, powered and playing.
You pick the film and the spot; we bring everything else. A movie night is a single trailer, a playback source, audio for the crowd and a crew member who stays for the show.
- PLAYBACK
Blu-ray, streaming device or laptop — we connect it and run the pre-show loop, trailers and the feature.
- AUDIO
Powered speakers scaled to the lawn, so dialogue carries to the back row without blasting the front.
- POWER
Onboard battery, shore power or a quiet generator depending on the site — no cords across the crowd.
- LICENSING
Public screenings need a public performance license from the studio's licensing agent. We'll point you to the right one; we don't supply the film.
Which screen for a movie night?
Crowd size and viewing distance set the screen. Most neighborhood and park movie nights fit a 12′ × 7′; larger park series and district screenings step up to the 16′ × 9′.
The movie-night workhorse — a fine 3.9mm pitch for crowds sitting close on blankets and lawn chairs.
For big park series and district screenings where the audience spreads across a wide lawn.
Rarely the movie screen itself — but useful for a double-sided pre-show and sponsor board at the entrance.
