"The Muppet Movie," "The Jerk," and "DRIVE" added to this year's lineup!
Hello friends and supporters!!
I am pleased to announce that thanks to your pledged support, we have already added three titles to our lineup!
On Tuesday, July 17, we are pleased to present the original 1979 classic THE MUPPET MOVIE! Sing along to "The Rainbow Connection" in the first big-screen adventure of Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the gang!
On Wednesday, July 25, we are very excited to screen the winning pick from our Academy Awards contest earlier this year - Jenny G's pick, THE JERK! Also from 1979, this hilarious Carl Reiner film marked Steve Martin's first starring role, and features a memorable turn by Bernadette Peters. A great comedy classic!
Finally, we are thrilled to officially announce our pick for Monday, August 6th - Nicolas Winding Refn's DRIVE, released just this past year. Winner of over 40 international awards - including the Cannes Film Festival award for Best Director, and over a dozen Best Supporting Actor awards for Albert Brooks as the violent Bernie Rose - Drive is a stylish cinematic masterpiece that was criminally underseen, yet achieved almost overnight cult status. Long Beach DJ Chris "Oldboy" Lynch will be opening the evening with a set of Drive-inspired music - don't miss this rare chance to see one of the best reviewed films of 2011, for free and on the shores of Long Beach!
ONLY 19 DAYS TO GO until our campaign ends!! Upon successfully reaching our goal (fingers crossed!), we will be sending out Membership Cards and other pledge premiums - we are already excited to welcome so many new Members!! And don't worry Members - your Memberships will begin upon the mailing of your cards, not back when you pledged.
Thanks everyone!! See you on the beach!

For the price of one movie, you'll help us bring ten to the beach! That's a buck a film. When's the last time you got to see a film on the big screen for a buck? Pitch in a ten-spot, and we'll show your some love on the big screen - starting with our July 2nd screening of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," we'll be projecting a pre-show slide with all the names of individuals who supported our series with their contribution of $10 or more!

C'mon - you'd pay $2.00 per film to see movies like "Pink Floyd The Wall," "Woodstock," and "Easy Rider" on the beach, wouldn't you? Show us love at the $20 level, and we'll thank you on screen AND automatically enter you into a contest to win a gift (valued at $20 or higher!) from one of our community Member Partners, such as Lola's Mexican Cuisine, Art du Vin Wine Bar, and the Art Theatre of Long Beach! We'll be picking a winner every week through through our Summer Program!

Simple - you get to pick a movie. Any movie. And we'll play it on the beach. We'll even give you credit on the program for having picked it, complete with an interview as to why you feel the film deserved a public screening on the beach. CAVEATS! - A) The movie must be available for exhibition. B) Please consider content of graphic violence, nudity, and adult themes when selecting your pick. (No, we will not play "The Human Centipede" on the beach...) ONLY ONE REWARD AT THIS LEVEL - if you're considering it, pick this one up NOW! Wanna see "Monster Squad" on the beach? - find 25 friends who want us to screen it as much as you do, have them each kick in $20, and you're set!! And yes, we'll send you a pair of memberships and tickets, thank you in print and on screen, and get you hooked up with "Easy Rider" CD & DVD as well!
