Site Suggestions

 

Traffic cones/barriers should be placed 10 feet in front of the screen to direct your guests to comfortable viewing positions. Cones should also be used to form an 8' center aisle and cross aisles at 20' intervals for easy movement of moviegoers. 

 

Keep the front section available for guests with blankets and direct people with lawn chairs to the rear. The viewing area can expand in a radius as the distance from the screen increases.  

 

If public restrooms are not conveniently available, consider porta-toilets (1 per 200-250 people). 

 

If concession vehicles are used, they should be placed with bright lights facing away from the screen and audience. 

 

Nothing ruins an outdoor movie more than headlights tracing across the screen. Try to avoid parking situations that will spoil the show.
