From sleeping in the concession stand to working entirely for free, the film fanatics at the struggling drive-in face uncertainty when Hollywood announces it will switch to digital projection for all new movies. Unable to purchase a $50,000 digital projector, a group of quirky film fanatics inrural Pennsylvania fight to keep the dying drive-in theater alive by screening only vintage 35mm film prints on their original 1949 projectors, and working for free. Relive their underdog story to save film, the Mahoning Drive-in, and drive-in theaters everywhere.

The drive-in’s history has been documented in the award-winning  At The Drive-in.

“Technology moves so fast today, faster than ever before. As technology distracts us from one another and segments us further into smaller audiences, it was just magical to see a bunch of people gather together in rural Pennsylvania to watch film flicker through a projector from 1948,” Alexander Monelli, director. “That’s ultimately what this documentary is about.”
