Author Topic: Haiti Drive-in Andres Meira Film Handler Posts: 2 From: London, London, UK Registered: Mar 2012 posted 03-28-2012 03:20 PM                     I have been living in Haiti for 2 years and there is not a single cinema in the whole country ! People prefer to be outdoors here, and cars are everywhere, so I am building a drive-in. The audio will be via FM transmitter, and I am considering several options for a 10-12k lumens projector... costs are quite high... I will be commissioning some locals to put together a steel frame for the screen, please can someone here advise on the best way to calculate screen size ? does it relate to the power of hte projector, or the layout of cars ? Any tips on what board material and finish I would need for this would be appreciated !
