Fremont Outdoor Movies


Every Saturday night in the center of the universe, otherwise known as Fremont, the Fremont Chamber features an outdoor movie. The movies are projected on the side of a building and it is a great way to enjoy those hot summer nights. Everyone gathers in the parking lot with their folding chairs and sets up to enjoy the night's film. They show everything from comedies to horrors to family films. As well as showing recent big films, once every month they feature what they call "Twisted Flicks" where they play an old movie on mute and the cast of Jet City Improv will improvise the dialogue and sound effects right there! I went this previous weekend to watch the movie Project Moonbase.

Now ordinarily this probably wouldn't be a movie that one would be inclined to go see, however with Jet City Improv dubbing over all the lines, the whole experience was HILARIOUS! The improv team managed to do very well with the character assignments from the crowd and the sound effects were great! Some of us sat there wondering what the actual plot of the movie was afterwards, but whatever it was, it probably wasn't as good as the one that was created by Jet City. The whole atmosphere of the crowd and the set-up in artsy Fremont makes this outdoor theater a cool treat. It does not cost a thing, however they do ask for donations to keep the tradition alive. I definitely recommend checking it out. To see the schedule for the rest of Summer `08 and more details, check out their website!
