I sat down with Derek from ‪@backyardmovietheater‬ to talk about how a simple Christmas gift for his family accidentally turned into a real events business. He started with a cheap inflatable screen in his backyard, landed his first HOA booking before he was ready, learned the hard way, and then upgraded into a full commercial outdoor movie setup. We talked about his packages, how much he charges, and how he built a higher end inflatable indoor theater with carpet, lights, AC, and a full movie experience. Derek also broke down his newest add on, LED dance floors, and why weddings, schools, and private events could become a huge part of the business. You can find Derek at ⁠https://backyardmovietheater.com/

Enjoy!
