The Authentic Drive-In Experience
LIMPACM brings the authentic drive-in experience to you with your choice of 40ft or 30ft inflatable screen and an FM transmitter unit to play the audio on your audience’s car radio. We provide pre show music as we wait for the sun to set and provide the option to display your sponsors on the screen or announce them over the microphone as your audience pulls in and out. Smaller screens are available for smaller scale events.

Concession Stand Equipment
No film showing is complete without concessions. LIMPACM offers full-service concession packages which include pop corn from our vintage 1890’s style popcorn machine, fresh cotton candy and a server. All of our concession equipment is available for rent if your organization prefers to run concessions yourself.

LIMPACM’s Long Term Goals
The future is bright for LIMPACM. We are actively pursuing a location to establish a permanent home for our museum. The museum will pay homage to the rich history of film on Long Island as well as display our extensive collection of authentic movie props, wardrobe, vintage cameras and more. Adjacent to the museum we will construct a historically accurate, 1950’s style drive-in movie theatre featuring a 65ft wide by 35ft tall screen, old-fashioned drive in speakers, an authentic, 1950’s snack bar and an amusement ride area.
