Summer is finally here! Typically this has meant the start of the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival, however it has been canceled. What is an outdoor movie lover to do?

Well, we are excited to announce a new Film Festival starting this summer, a festival of music and movies that will tour the the state. We would like to announce the Chicagoland Outdoor Film Festival! Live local music, food vendors, and outdoor movies, Hollywood classics and soon to be classics produced and directed by talented Illinois High School and College Students. The first venue, dates, and line up will be announced soon. Interested in sponsorship, have an awesome venue location, interested in being a featured vendor, musician, or producer? Contact us today for further information!

This is the headline being read by Americans in nearly every city and state, "City Cancels Special Events". The "Great Recession" has caused many cities, towns, and villages to slash their special event budgets or completely eliminate their events, events that are very important as they help build a sense of community. Blazing Star Cinema believes that building a Strong Community is a vital aspect of any recovery, a person must feel as if they are a part of something, that they belong.

We have the answer, starting in 2010 we are introducing the "Movies for the Masses" series, a special Outdoor Movie Tour designed to bring community events back to cities across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
