MobMov is a website with advice on how to create guerrilla drive-in movies.

The concept is relatively simple: Use an [HD LCD projector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viewsonic-m1-max), plug it into your car, grab a DVD, find a [large wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/projector-a1) and make a drive in event. Spread the word via a flash mob and let the party begin.

I have big admiration for the dude that put his projector on a vintage [BMW](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cru) motorcycle sidecar. Self described as guerrilla drive ins, Santa Cruz, CA created the buzz. MobMov.org has set up a website to help with advice on how to bring the drive in into your neighborhood.
