About me
Don't let the date above fool you. The system wouldn't let me put in our actual inception date. The Southern California Drive-In Movie Society was established in 2005 by a group of drive-in theater fans who felt there was a need to spread the word that there are drive-ins still open and operating in Southern California. It is our desire to help keep these fabulous venues open and operating for generations to come.

Pictured above are founding members (L - R) Warren Meyers, Sal Gomez, Dennis Cozzalio & Lanna Pian. Absent from the photo are Kathy Beyers, Jeff Thurman, Chris Utley, Kyle Muldrow & Steve Swanson.

You can help us do this by joining our mailing list so we can keep you up to date on drive-in news and activities. But the most important thing you can do is visit and support the drive-ins in your area and tell them the Southern California Drive-In Movie Society sent you.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  1. How did SoCalDIMS get formed?
  1. SoCalDIMS first started back in June 2005 by Chris Utley. A small group of us      answered and invitation by Chris to meet at the Mission Tiki Drive-In in Montclair, California to possibly form a drive-in fan club. That first meeting formed the idea that a drive-in movie society could help spread the word that although drive-in theaters have declined in recent years, the drive-ins that were still open and operating and drive-in fans like us could help make a difference in their longevity.

 

  1. How many members do you have?
  1. There are 8 core members that you can refer to as a “board” but we have a membership email list of 200+ drive-in fans.

 

  1. Who can be a member?
  1. Currently our email membership is free. Just sign up on the website and your in.

 

  1. How is SoCalDIMS connected with operators of local drive-in Theaters?
  1. Since our inception SoCalDIMS members have made personal connections with our local drive-in owners and operators. Because of this we are able to organize special events on our behalf.
