Experience Eye-opening Films*, along with People, Food, Products and Services that Inspire, Educate, and Entertain, Outdoors, in a Film Festival-Like Atmosphere.
Be a part of the empowerment of the next generation of Consciousness and Sustainability Pioneers!
Events will be "Sponsored By" Eco Business and Pioneers of Human Consciousness; "Hosted by" any organization with a Large White Wall and sufficient parking for 100+ vehicles, and "Presented by" Conscious River (http://www.consciousriver.com)!
It's time to raise our awareness, play hard, and just enjoy the journey as we unite to reverse the last 150 years of unconscious practices!
TENTATIVE FORMAT for each Mobile Drive-in Experience:
-Experiences** and Food Vendors***, 3 to 4 hours before sunset
-Cars, or anyone with a chair and portable FM radio, pull up and tune to the FM frequency scrolling on the back of the lead car.
-Twilight music from conscious musicians like Darius Lux, Luminaries, Kristin Hoffmann, The Lowkeys, Kute Blackson, The People's Party, The Human Revolution, Singing Bear & the Aumnibus and more as darkness falls enough to start the films (approx 30min)
-Introduction of Host, Sponsors, and their products or services if they are present (10-15min)
-5-10 second ads submitted by presenter, host, and sponsors (using ad codes [mobile marketing] for visitors to text message request additional info to take home with them on their mobile phones)
-Film(s) begin (1-2hrs)
-Q & A with filmmakers if present (10-15min)
-Empowering Music Videos, Dancing, Etc. begins along with sustainability discussions (usually around the lead car) with filmmaker DVD's for sale, drinks, healthy food, sponsor products/services, and empowering books all at the back of the lot (basically an Outdoor Movie, ECO Product Showcase, Farmer’s Market, Block Party, and Potluck all in one event).
ECO Inspired:
-The mobile drive-in theater was designed to save energy, having a much smaller carbon footprint due to the fact that it does not have a typical power thirsty sound system with speakers for you to hear what you see . . . you bring your own sound system.
-YouTube video demonstrating the unique FM radio "Drive-in" sound capability of the mobile theater http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXiYu0BtKB8...
The sound is broadcast clearly up to 200 feet in all directions.
-Eventually, pocket FM radios will be made available for rent with rechargeable batteries and admission discounts given to MDE’ers pulling up in alternative energy vehicles.

FEATURES of the Mobile Movie Theater
-2200 Lumen Epson LCD Projector
-Approx 40ft VGA signal/power cables to position projector away from vehicle if needed
-Capability of playing entire show via media-playing external hard drive (recommended)
-Dedicated onboard computer with DVD player
-Wireles internet (if needed - WiFi or anywhere Sprint Mobile Broadband)
-1 piece combination keyboard/mouse to control onboard computer up to 50ft away from the vehicle
-Media card reader (including SD, Mini SD, and USB Flash Disk)
-3 Channel Sound Mixer (XLR or ¼” Mic, input 1, input 2)
-A Radio Transmitter (short range 200+ ft radius) to transmit sound from the film/computer, a microphone, portable hard drive, or songs on any mp3 player to anyone in range with any type of FM radio.
-Configurable Rear Window Digital Text Scroller (red, orange, yellow, green)
-Ability to run (projector and transmitter) for up to 2.5 hours via 2 deep cycle batteries with a battery isolator, so if batteries drain too low, vehicle can be started to run the show completely from alternator power. In other words, there is reliable power as long as needed, without "plugging in".
-Ability to plug in other A/C devices such as LED lighting, etc.
-Ability to run the entire system off nearby (115ft) A/C outlet if needed or applicable.
FUTURE PLANS are to have a completely sponsored, large towable trailer, retrofitted with a 16 x 9' screen (viewable clearly from both sides) that will charge onboard batteries with enough power from the sun during the day (via solar panels on the deck) to power the screening of films for each Experience as well as several (lighting approved) vendor booths selling food, products and services before and after the films.
