HOW IT STARTED:

Trent Edgerton had a dream - to provide the Twin Ports with an outdoor movie series. In 2006, Trent made the big commitment and bought a high quality inflatable outdoor movie screen and high powered projector.

 

To make his dream come to life, Trent relied on the help of family and friends, as well as a few adventurous local businesses, to help pull together enough financing to support the inaugural season. The City of Duluth Parks Department suggested Leif Erikson Park as a prime location. The Parks Department was thrilled at the idea of an outdoor movie series and supported the project in any way they could.

 

THE DREAM

The magic of an outdoor movie is contagious and brings together people from all walks of life. Outdoor movies are a universal joy. The draw of the event is that is it free, its fun and its outside! The goal is to provide a low-pressure, safe environment to sit back and enjoy an evening under the stars.

 

 

“We wanted to create a fun family friendly event that ties in the great outdoors and there isn’t a more perfect venue than Leif Erikson Park. Just bring your blanket, we’ll provide the stars.” 

 -Trent Edgerton,

owner of Twin Ports Outdoor Movies

 

 

 

  

“Visitors ran the gamut…Edgerton and Seehus have ideas why the movies have caught on like they have. ‘Well, they’re free,” Edgerton said. “And there’s no pressure for the people here. They’re from all walks of life.’…  ‘It’s magic,’ Seehus said. The program is the most successful ongoing use of the city parks since Music in the Park Debuted in the 1970’s, he said. The Duluth Parks and Recreation Department has donated the use of Leif Erikson Park, and Edgerton is donating the use of the equipment-which was a significant investment-as well as his time and expertise.”

“Movies in the Park celebrates both the community and the natural beauty of the Twin Ports. … [Penny Steward, from Oulu, WI states] ‘It’s an activity [our family] can all do together. We pack a picnic lunch and have a great time. We enjoy good quality movies with a beautiful view.’ … Families with children of all ages, couples, young and old, along with students, senior citizens and community groups share the park for the weekly event. Even pets are welcome, as long as they are leashed. ‘It’s a low-pressure, free event that invites people from every walk of life,’ explains Trent. ‘Everyone should be there and there is no reason not to get along.’ … ‘You really feel a sense a sense of community at the park. You see just tons of people from all over the city,’ says Terri Mathews. … ‘Just seeing everyone enjoy the movies is the best part of organizing the event,’ says Trent.”

“Edgerton said he doesn’t make any money on the Duluth Series, but that doesn’t matter. ‘I would love to do it as long as I can,’ he said. ‘If I won the lottery or something, I wouldn’t even need to have sponsors to help pay for the film rights and the people who help me. I just want everyone to get along, and to be safe and comfortable. I’m hoping this will be our best year.’”
