The Dusk-To-Dawn Drive-In Movie Marathon

One of the highlights of DukeFest was finally getting to unleash something that we’d been working on for ages. We found this amazing rare radio spot from American International Pictures, back in the early 1980s they’d packaged groups of their films together and sent them out at all-day or all-night shows, using these radio spots to promote the films and shows. Here’s the radio spot its audio form, give this a listen first:

Now that’s great, but there was something missing, it was so cinematic sounding that I kept picturing what this would be like with the actual footage from the films cut in. So that’s what I spent a good chunk of time editing away on before #DukeFest, getting all those films together, matching them up to the audio and making it come to life. So check out our exclusive brand new never before seen cinema trailer right here!
