Try Renting A Big Screen

By Darwin Hachey


We live in a neighborhood that has a fun contest each year to find out which family can put together the best event for the smallest amount of money. This is a good way to bring families closer together. Many people have tried block parties and potluck dinners.

You might have never had an outdoor movie before, but in the summer, it's always a good time. I really wanted to come up with something different, and this year I found exactly what I was looking for, an event that was unique and different.

It paid off, as we won the competition by quite a wide margin, something that has not been done before, or at least not for a long time. The idea that I came up with was an outdoor movie night, which isn't always the easiest thing to pull off in this part of the country.

I live in Syracuse, NY. So the darkness of the outside was great for an outdoor movie. Renting a big screen was the best idea. We were able to create this outdoor movie theater by renting a projector to shine on a bed sheet that we hung on the back of our house.

It was not expensive at all and everyone loved it. We are probably going to end up doing this a few times each summer from now on. You can easily have an exciting neighborhood party with the help of a movie projector.

I am not good with technical and computer stuff, although even I found it easy to connect the projector to the laptop and play the movie. There are no hard skills to learn. Everything is very easy. I am very glad of that, because I am not that good with technical things. This just made me look such as a pro.

Of course, the movie evening was a big hit with my kids, and I plan to do it again sometime. Once it starts getting colder here, it is just as easy to show the film indoors as outdoors.
