Drive-in Cinemas – during New Zealand’s COVID-19 lockdown we worked with a bunch of forward-thinking people across the central city on an idea to create socially distanced drive-in cinema experiences at three locations in the city, that would be planned and marketed collaboratively in a way that celebrates the uniqueness of each locality and their hospitality offer, and would have the same safe, welcoming sense of fun at each location. This initiative involved Alice Cinematheque, the Isaac Theatre Royal, the Lumiere Theatre, Riverside Market, Little High and others. Licencing was a bit of a hurdle to sort out. But we had a game plan and … then the lockdown ended and cinemas re-opened!
