Lindon, Utah: Open Air Cinema's Outdoor Cinema Systems Provide Outdoor Movies At Home

A British blogger discovers the Open Air Cinema 16-foot inflatable projection screen in 2008 — and can barely contain her excitement:

“I was always a little upset the UK isn’t as big a fan of outdoor drive-in cinemas as our American friends (especially as Grease made it look soooo cool), so imagine my excitement when I came across this behemoth of an inflatable projection screen. Open Air Cinema is the brains behind this monster — 16 feet of pure inflatable projection. An air blower keeps the whole thing running throughout your movie night; six straps keep it secured and taut. An inflatable movie screen sounds like something you’d give a child for Christmas, but let me tell you, this is certainly not children’s equipment. Just think of all the late-night drive-in style fun you could have.”

When the show is over, the screen folds back into its carry bag for next time. A more capable piece of kit than the name “inflatable movie screen” might suggest.
