ELECTRIC DUSK DRIVE IN & SECRET MOVIE CLUB present PARKING LOT CINEMA!

Part of our SCI FI SEPTEMBER series. Sunday, September 13, 2020. 7:45pm  WALL-E (2008. Directed by Andrew Stanton, Pixar/Disney, 103 mns, Digital) 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Gates will open at 6:15pm.  Please plan to arrive between 6:15p-7:15p to get best possible seats.

PARKING LOT: We’re screening at the GLENDALE SEARS PARKING LOT, 211 W. California Ave St, Glendale, CA 91203.  You enter and exit the parking lot from California between Central and Orange. 

HOW TO: While we all work to be socially responsible during the age of coronavirus, Electric Dusk Drive In & Secret Movie Club are partnering to put on a Parking Lot Cinema series.  Each week, we will be screening movies on a great inflatable screen in a great parking lot location in Los Angeles.

Make sure when you purchase your ticket(s), you do the following:

1)PURCHASE A SINGLE FEATURE EARLY BIRD TICKET ($23) which includes a $15 car fee and the first ticket at $8 per person. This gets you into the single FEATURE you select by title.

2) GO TO ADD ONS: Purchase an additional $8 per person ticket (for a SINGLE FEATURE) for however many other people after the first person will be in the car. We will be doing a count at the gate. 

PLEASE NOTE TICKETS THE DAY OF AND AT THE GATE WILL BE $20 per car + $8 per ticket for a single screening. 

3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS & POSTERS you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions and posters at our table in the middle of the Parking Lot.

To attend, you need  a car with an FM radio. We will space out cars to make sure folks can always maintain 6 feet of distance. We ask that folks stay in their cars unless they need to use the portable restroom. Whenever you are out of your car, you are required to wear a mask. 

We will have hand sanitizer, masks, and gloves for sale for folks who need them. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BRING ALL THESE THINGS ON YOUR OWN.

Our partnership with Electric Dusk Drive In  https://www.electricduskdrivein.com/) continues as we dedicate our Family Sundays to Pixar’s wonderful sci-fi WALL-E!

One of Pixar’s most adventurous singular creations, WALL-E follows our titular hero, a lonely trash collecting robot left for 700 years on Earth (now completely empty of humans).  At first, we follow Wall-E on his monotonous daily routine (which he livens up with his optimistic bright personality). But when Wall-E meets EVE, a space probe, sent back to earth to see if it is re-inhabitable, he promptly falls in love.

This sends Wall-E on an odyssey back into space where he boards a spaceship filled with overweight, lazy, chair bound humans who no longer exert any physical effort whatsoever.

And while the messaging in this movie is very direct, it is also handled in the most comedic, graceful, and persuasive of ways.

So join us for one of Pixar’s most towering achievements. A Sci-Fi classic for the whole family.  

Best always,

Craig Hammill

We can offer refunds for requests made MORE than 24 hours before showtime through Eventbrite. After that, no refunds. Sorry. 

We highly recommend that you bring a sweater, jacket, or a few layers of clothes just in case it gets a little chilly and you don’t want to run your car. 

We will also have portable restrooms which are cleaned daily AND in between movies.  

TICKETS & REFUNDS: Because of the special nature of these screenings, we can not offer discounted series passes. We can offer refunds for requests made through Evenbrite more than 24 HOURS before screening time.

After that, no refunds. Sorry. But we can offer you complimentary tickets to a future Secret Movie Club screening as long as it hasn’t sold out and isn’t a special screening with a different pricing structure.

WHERE DO I PICK UP MY PRE-ORDERED CONCESSIONS AND/OR POSTERS?

We have a concessions/pick up table on the Sears side of the Parking Lot right in the middle.  All our concessions are factory sealed. We simply hand you your order.  If you pre-order posters, we will also have them at this table for pick up. Concessions WILL be available for purchase at the event itself as well if you want to make a game time decision. 

WHAT IF I HAD TICKET(S) TO A SECRET MOVIE CLUB SCREENING THAT GOT POSTPONED DUE TO COVID AND WANT TO USE IT HERE? We will be reserving 10 spaces per screening for folks who want to transfer their tickets to one of our Parking Lot Cinema events. We will still need to charge you for the car ($25) but we won’t charge for the tickets. 

Please email us at: community@secretmovieclub.com as soon as you can if you want to attend so we can reserve you one of these spaces. Once these 10 spaces fill up, you will have to either pay full price or request a different event. 

WHAT IF I HAVE A SECRET MOVIE CLUB LIFETIME, SPRING OR SUMMER 2020 SEASON, OR SERIES PASS? Lifetime Pass holders do get automatic admission to all our events so that includes our Parking Lot Cinema events.  Please just email us at community@secretmovieclub.com to let us know you will be attending.

For Spring and Summer 2020 Season and Series Pass holders who had their events delayed due to our COVID postponements, we can’t transfer those passes to the Parking Lot Cinema series because of the special nature and different pricing structure of this series.

HOWEVER, if you write us at community@secretmovieclub.com, we will do our best to get you entrance into at least a few of these screenings as a thank you for your patience.  We will have to charge the $25 car fee but we will waive the per person ticket fee. And your Season or Series pass will STILL BE GOOD once we return to theatrical screenings.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS AND MEASURES ARE YOU TAKING SO THESE EVENTS ARE SAFE DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC?

All our staff will have gloves, masks, and work to maintain 6 feet of distance.

We are working to make these events as touch-less as possible. Therefore we ask that you purchase your tickets and all concessions, movie posters, etc THROUGH Eventbrite prior to the event.  That way we can just check you off our list, hand you your concessions/posters, and guide you to your parking space.

We will work to have masks, gloves, hand sanitizer for sale at our events. 

BUT WE DO HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING ALL THESE THINGS YOURSELVES.

We will have portable restrooms which are constantly cleaned between EACH USE.

HOW WILL THESE MOVIES BE SCREENED: For the time being all movies will be screened digitally. While our first love is 35mm, to make these events happen in parking lots, we do need to screen movies digitally. However, we have taken every step to make sure the image and sound are of the highest quality so you have a great cinematic experience. We will also be doing LIVE IN PERSON INTRODUCTIONS as we did for our theatrical screenings.

WILL THERE BE SINGLE FEATURES AND/OR FAMILY FEATURES? Yes! We will occasionally be screening single features of longer length and single family features.  Pleasencheck our website (secretmovieclub.com), our Social Media (@secretmovieclub35mm @secretmovieclub), and our Eventbrite page: http://secretmovieclub.eventbrite.com each Monday at 1pm for newly announced events.

HOW CAN I CONTACT YOU IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS:
