HOW TO:
Make sure when you purchase your ticket(s), you do the following:
1)PURCHASE A SINGLE EARLY BIRD ($23) or DAY OF TICKET ($28) which includes the car fee and the first ticket for the driver. This gets you into the FEATURE you select by title.
2) GO TO ADD ONS: Purchase an additional $8 per person ticket for however many passengers other than the Driver will be in the car. You can always add people at the gate as long as you have purchased the EARLY BIRD or DAY OF CAR + DRIVER TICKET.
3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS OR MOVIE MERCHANDISE you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions & merchandise at our table in the middle of the Parking Lot.
To attend, you need a car with an FM radio or a handheld radio you bring yourself. We will space out cars to make sure folks can safely maintain 6 feet of distance. We ask that folks stay in their cars unless they are picking up concessions or using the restroom. Whenever you are out of your car, you are required to wear a mask for everyone’s safety.
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, PLEASE BRING A SMALL OR REGULAR SIZED CAR (sedan sized or smaller). We want to make sure EVERYONE gets a great space. SUVS, TRUCKS, CARS WITH HIGH ROOFS/RACKS/ITEMS ON ROOF often have to be parked further away from the screen to avoid sightline issues.
If you bring a larger car, arrive as near to when we open our gates as possible to get the best possible space.
We are proud to continue our partnership with ELECTRIC DUSK DRIVE IN (https://www.electricduskdrivein.com) into April 2021!
Much like Tarantino himself, we’re going to scramble the chronology here and visit his most recent movie before we end the series with this programmer’s personal favorite Tarantino.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Brad Pitt as washed up TV actor Rick Dalton and his best friend-stunt double Cliff Booth respectively as they navigate a week in the life in Hollywood 1968 on the eve of the Charles Manson murders that would rock the nation.
To tip his hand so we know where this is all going, Tarantino also follows real-life actress Sharon Tate (played by Margot Robbie) across this same span of time.
The movie pulls off a really impressive movie magic trick by somehow being both simultaneously a “hang out” movie (think Tarantino’s Dazed and Confused) and one taut with narrative tension since we know there will have to be a reckoning with drugged out murderers before the end credits roll.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood feels so close to a summation statement by Tarantino about his career long obsessions-violence, acting, movies, moviemaking, women’s feet, autobiography disguised as genre yarns-that one wonders what Tarantino has in store for his 10th and purported FINAL movie.
Until we find out, watch his 9th movie. One of his absolute best.
Best always,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR PARKING LOT CINEMA SERIES
REFUNDS:
We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.
HELPFUL PARKING LOT CINEMA TIPS:
Please make sure you know how to hit off your car headlights before attending. For newer cars, the process is usually:
1. Activate the Parking Break.
2. Make sure the lights are switched to off.
3. Then turn the car on. The lights will stay off unless they are manually turned on. Repeat the process to turn them off again.
Bring warm clothes, blankets, a few layers just in case it gets chilly and you don’t want to run your car the entire movie (although you totally can if you want).
Make sure you know how to work your CAR RADIO so you can TUNE to any frequency you want.
The earlier you arrive, the better space/closer to the screen you will get! Once you get parked, you can totally leave the lot, go to get food, come back.
HOW CAN I CONTACT YOU IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS:
