Culver City, CA – June 25, 2020 – Amazon Studios and Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society are
launching “A Night at the Drive-In”, a nationwide summer screening series featuring a wide
selection of films celebrating multi-cultural voices in cinema. In an effort to evoke the nostalgic
joy of a summer evening at the drive-in with family and friends, attendance will be at no cost to
local communities. Starting Wednesday, July 1, Amazon Studios will host double-features
curated by Michael B. Jordan with help from his newly formed marketing arm 8788 and Outlier
Society, every other week through the end of August.
 
“When Michael and our friends at Outlier proposed this idea, we instantly agreed there was no
better time to celebrate these inspired films featuring diverse stories while bringing
communities together to share in the experience” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios.
“Drive-in theaters offer a unique experience in that they provide an inspiring and joyful
communal experience while still maintaining safe social distance. A special thanks to our
friends and colleagues at Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Disney, Universal Pictures and
Paramount Pictures.”
“With this drive-in summer series, I hope that friends and families are able to not only enjoy,
but to learn and grow,” said Michael B. Jordan, Principal of Outlier Society. “Now more than
ever, amplifying Black and Brown stories means engaging culture to speak to hearts and minds
about the world we live in. As we use this opportunity to reimagine community and proximity, I
am excited that these films will be shared and celebrated all across the country.”
 
As part of the concessions for the screenings, all attendees will receive refreshments provided
by Black and Brown owned businesses, which are Path Water, Pipcorn Popcorn and Partake
Cookies.
