We provided production management and consultancy on delivering an outdoor cinema experience
Before establishing Dark Olive, the team designed and toured a solar-powered cinema. It was on the back of that that we put forward the idea which grew into Moonlight Flicks. We provided production management consultancy across the 2016 and 2017 seasons, and we are extremely proud to have left a legacy that continues today as one of Chester's most exciting features.
Moonlight Flicks is Chester's only open air cinema, a summer season of handpicked film favourites — Singin' in the Rain, Grease, La La Land, Star Wars — watched from deckchairs as the light goes down over the city. It was originally sited in the Roman Gardens and has since moved to sit alongside the open air theatre in Grosvenor Park.
Presented by Storyhouse, the season has been running since 2013 and is now a main feature in Chester's summer programme. In 2017, the last season we worked on, it drew close to 9,000 people.
