Fremont, Nebraska: Outdoor Movie Man Likes to Entertain

Larry Koski of Fremont, Nebraska built a side business renting a portable inflatable movie screen and projector to schools, churches, and private events across northeast Nebraska. He sourced the setup after researching options and discovering outdoor cinema companies online, paying around $6,000 for screen, projector, blower, and sound system. His first booking was a church parking-lot event; school fundraisers and community celebrations followed.

“The screen is huge -- it's like a drive-in without the cars,” Koski said. He operated evenings and weekends alongside his day job, charging by the event.
