"The money's not the best, but my job is the best." An official trailer has debuted for a documentary film titled Back to the Drive-In, from filmmaker April Wright. She's the same filmmaker behind two other movie theater docs previously - Going Attractions: The Definitive Story of the American Drive-in Movie and Going Attractions: The Definitive Story of the Movie Palace. With the return of Drive-Ins during the 2020 + 2021 pandemic lockdowns, of course someone decided to go out and make a doc about this. When the pandemic hit, drive-ins were suddenly the only safe venue in town, with press coverage about how drive-ins are "back," and how they are thriving. But this film goes behind the headlines to tell the truth, spending a whole night with 11 very different drive-ins in 8 states all over the country, from preparations before the customers arrive, to selling tickets, opening the snack bar, and getting the movie up on screen, we discover these family-owned businesses are actually struggling to survive. This looks like it might be worth a watch. ›››
