Event Producer's Tacklebox: An Essential Outdoor Movies Toolkit

From the Open Air Cinema archive. Originally published in 2011, recounting field use of the Event Producer's Tacklebox during OAC's Haiti trip. Preserved as a historical record; opening and closing sales-CTA clauses have been removed.

We have posted often about ways to be prepared for your next movie in the park film series, but one of the best ways to be prepared is to have an official Open Air Cinema Event Producer's Tacklebox on hand. This ready to use kit will allow you to hook up virtually any audio visual device to your Open Air Cinema outdoor movie screen system. You never know what type of connection you'll need, and this all in one kit will provide a solution to almost any technical problem with your audio visual system. In addition to dozens of audio visual connectors, the kit comes with screwdrivers and exclusive Open Air Cinema recloseable velcro ties.

We've produced events around the world, and we never go anywhere without our event producer's tacklebox. We have one of these boxes in Port-au-Prince Haiti, and it has saved our events on several occasions, as connectors and specialized audio visual equipment are hard to get in the area. Even if you aren't hosting an event in a place where it is difficult to get components, this kit will save you time, money, and frustration when you need to be focusing on your audience and producing a successful screening for them.
