OUR STORY

Summer 2009: A guy in Austin, Texas starts buying up drive-in movie theater speakers on Ebay, teaches himself how to restore them, and opens the first ever Mini Urban Drive-In with the theory that smaller is better!

 

The Boutique drive-in is born by taking advantage of the main things that almost made the drive-in extinct:

​

The exodus to the Concrete JungleUrban Sprawl (less room meant less space for hundreds of cars)

​

The advent of VHS, Cable, Satellites, and DVDs meant that people could watch everything at home without having to drive 30 miles out to a field in the middle of nowhere.

​

But, the boutique Drive-In requires less space and is more exclusive, more personal, more intimate and closer to home.

​

The Blue Starlite concentrates on indie films, art house, cult, Gen X/Y, childhood favorites, and drive-in classics. A new drive-in experience is born right in the heart of the city!
