Having enjoyed many years of National Night Out in my neighborhood, I was delighted when FunFlicks became one of the national sponsors for this event. National Night Out (NNO) is the largest neighborhood event in the nation.
When I started showing movies to friends and family, I always loved the community aspect. The same values of community are shared by National Night Out. Knowing who your neighbors are leads to a safer community. There are people on my street who I now talk to because of NNO.
To show a movie in a public space you need a public performance licence. As part of NNO, FunFlicks is working in conjunction with Swank Motion Pictures, Inc. Swank is the largest non-theatrical distributor of motion pictures for public performance. They help keep you legal.

Make your Neighborhood a better place with an Outdoor Movie Paul the Outdoor Movie Guy

Paul the Outdoor Movie Guy saw his first outdoor movie screening back in the 1990’s at a VW festival in the UK and was hooked.
“Watching Blade Runner outdoors on a huge screen in my old 68’ Bug” he says, “was amazing!”. Wanting to share this passion with his young family, Paul started hosting movie nights. “When I introduced my children to Star Wars, it needed to be big screen experience.”
His equipment increased in size and thoughts of creating a business from a passion started forming. At one point the Mother-in-law mentioned, “you should do this as a business”.
With a background in Recreation Management and Information Technology and a passion for film, FunFlicks San Francisco Bay Area was created in 2009. Over the next few years, other locations were opened allowing his team to provide outdoor movies all over Northern California, Oregon and Northern Nevada.
“I love creating experience driven events and take pride in walking our clients through the process of setting up their movie nights.”
Whether it’s working with Film Festivals, creating a retro style drive-in, working with Parks and Recreation or little Johnny’s Birthday Party, it’s all about community and the shared experience of watching a movie together.
Always looking at how technology can enhance the experience, Paul has added items like Silent Cinema, a Red-Carpet photo booth, Hashtag printers or even professional photographers at events. “My team looks forward to helping you create a unique outdoor movie experience”
