Though they may have saved many movie lovers during the pandemic, DRIVE-IN Theaters are still struggling – last week, we lost the Mission Tiki drive-in in California – and through her new documentary, BACK TO THE DRIVE-IN, April Wright explores the many reasons why that could be.
—
BACK TO THE DRIVE-IN takes viewers behind the scenes to visit eleven unique family-owned drive-ins across the country – including L.A’s Mission Tiki, the Field of Dreams Drive-In, and the Wellfleet in Cape Cod – to experience their passion and determination to keep their theaters alive. It’s a story of human resilience.
The film, which played to rave reviews at many, of course, drive-in theaters during its theatrical run, features interviewees D. Edward Vogel, Dwight Grimm, and Leigh Van Swall, among others.
