Outdoor Movie Nights by Movie Boyz: "The social glue to society is the family"
The movie playing is 'Jumanji, Welcome to the Jungle'...
We love to hear about things that are happening in and around Durban that cater for the family. It not only allows us to experience fun with the whole family, but also allows us to return to a sense of normality from all the restrictions that the pandemic has placed on us.
So when we saw this event run by the Movie Boyz, we had to share it with you all. We got in touch with the organisers of the brand who were inspired to start outdoor movie screenings as a way of getting people to connect, most especially after what pandemic has done to us.
Clynton Cotton and Dudley Lambert, the owners of Movie Boyz, shared the motive behind the brand with us, and we loved how Clynton highlighted that their business philosophy is not not just about the movie. He spoke with such passion and care when he shared why they decided to start the outdoor movie screenings.
Our business philosophy and motivation "It's not just about the movie" stands to create memorable evening's for families, couples friends and of course avid movie lovers who will enjoy a golden oldie or one of the most recent released movies in a safe setting outdoors. The social glue to society is the family. That's were our heart is. We want people to come out and enjoy the outdoors in KZN and at the same time showcase KZN to all who pay a visit from other provinces as well.

One of the main highlights from the Movie Boyz, is their vision of wanting to create an holistic entertaining experience. Making the night out all about catering to the whole family, so besides the movie screening, there would be live music, and open space for the kids to play.
Movie Boyz objective is to screen at least 40 to 50 movies a year keeping our families of all age groups entertained outdoors. We constantly look for different venues and try and promote local businesses by advertising before and after the movie. Movie Boyz wants to introduce themed screenings where local artists can perform briefly for families before the movie. Just another way of promoting young local artists and talent in KZN.
They recently hosted a movie screening not far from East Coast Radio House, at the Park Square in Umhlanga. And it was so lovely to see such a great turnout of families. It was a double whammy event with a night market as well as a movie night.
We even starting a free movie club offering complimentary tickets and popcorn and slush to our members etc. It's just a nice way of saying thank you for the support and encouraging families to come out. The President even recommended it at our last family meeting. "Outdoor is good if you need to socialize " obviously with all protocols in place.
A movie screening of 'Jumanji, Welcome to the Jungle' will be happening this Friday, 3 December 2021. You can get more information from the Movie Boyz Facebook page, here. Also they are very attentive on Facebook and answer questions consistently.
For more information on bookings, you can contact them on their business WhatsApp number, which is 073 828 6069, with tickets for as little as R50 each. You can also book tickets here.
Clynton left us with his last words of encouragement, saying: "So come out KZN come out families and experience the outdoors. Spend time with family friends and a movie of your choice. And don't forget "ITS NOT JUST ABOUT THE MOVIE."
