HOW TO:  

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

1)PURCHASE AN EARLY BIRD ($23) or DAY OF TICKET ($28) which includes the car fee and the first ticket for the driver.

2) GO TO ADD ONS: Purchase an additional $8 per person ticket for each person after the driver in the car. We will be doing a count at the gate. 

As long as you have the EARLY BIRD or DAY OF ticket, you can always pay at the gate for additional people in your car. 

3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions 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.  

Our partnership with Electric Dusk Drive In  https://www.electricduskdrivein.com/) continues as we kick off 2021 with a special drive in treat and then a mini “Winter Wonderland” series. 

First up, we screen Christopher Nolan’s 2020 “time inversion” action movie head trip “TENET”.  2020 was a strange year to say the least. One of the biggest heartbreaks was missing out on the opportunity to see exciting new releases like TENET with family and friends on opening night.  We want to correct that.

As with INCEPTION,  Christopher Nolan spent 10 years preparing, writing, working through TENET’s trippiest ideas before finally shooting the movie itself.

TENET follows “The Protagonist” (John David Washington), a CIA agent, who has his life saved in a very strange way by a masked soldier during an Opera house opener.  From there, the Protagonist is introduced to a new kind of spy craft and warfare that involves “time inversion” which allows possessors of the technology to reverse time in order to either wreck havoc or try to repair it.

The trippiest of trippy action movies than commences with a globe hopping story filled with visually mind blowing action sequences filled with Nolan’s trademark ability to take conceptually strange concepts and weave them into the finest of cinematic stuff.

So come join us and watch TENET on the big screen. 

Best always,

Craig Hammill
