Created off the back of the Bristol Bad Film Club, an outdoor screening in Bristol attracted over 500 people last summer and brought the community together in one sunny film frenzied evening. Due to its success, BBFC founder Timon Singh wants to put on three family friendly films outdoors in various locations around Bristol this summer. This time, he's scaling the entire event up; hoping to attract up to 1,000 visitors and using larger more professional equipment to deliver.What's needed?
