  • Program 2 [2020]

    Our Pop-Up Community Drive-In program was conceived as a safe alternative to ensure our organization could continue our mission of enriching, connecting, and educating communities through the art of cinema during the COVID-19 pandemic. Partnering with host venues throughout Orange County, we have provided individuals and families of all ages with opportunities to get out of the house and join friends and neighbors to take in a night at the movies, from the safety and comfort of their cars. Audio is transmitted to cars through FM radio to further ensure that the films could be enjoyed safely from an automobile, without the need to even lower the windows. Our Pop-Up Community Drive-In series has also served to assist partnering organizations with everything from high school educational courses, community outreach efforts, and student film premieres.
