Inspire Yourself: Michael Jackson Outdoor Cinema

By | Celebrating Creativity, General | No Comments
IMAGE-DESCRIPTION Imagine hosting an outdoor drive-in movie screening with the aim to drive commerce and activity in your local neighbourhood for a launch or to raise awareness around your brand.

Create a Michael Jackson look-a-like contest, implement a performance of the zombie dance routine by a specialist cast and give a brief lesson in the dance's key moves and offer zombie face painting. Not to mention making everyone comfortable to sit back and kick-off the film. The town will be buzzing with excitement and the local restaurants and bars overcrowded with people wanting to be part of the action. A roar and cheer, Bravo you, the activity was a huge success.

Explode onto the scene this summer and invent something Bigger and Better than anything you've done before! This concept was implemented at the Tribecca Film Festival in New York.
