The Secret Life of Pets Movie Theater: A Night to Remember

As the sun sets over the scenic Booth Amphitheatre, families gather on the spacious lawn, eager to indulge in a unique outdoor movie experience - Movies by Moonlight. This enchanting event is made possible through the collaboration between Chris, a professional display calibrator and freelance musician, and the Koka Booth website.

For those who haven't heard of the phenomenon, Movies by Moonlight allows patrons to bring their own picnics, including beer and wine, while watching a movie under the stars. The gates open at 7pm, giving attendees ample time to settle in with their blankets or chairs before the movie starts at dusk (approximately 8:30pm). And, for just $5 per adult, kids 12 and under can enjoy this magical experience absolutely free.

But what makes Movies by Moonlight truly special is its charitable component. A portion of the proceeds from each event will benefit WakeMed Children's Hospital, a worthy cause that resonates deeply with Chris's passion for audio and love of movies.

As we settle in to watch the 2016 animated film, The Secret Life of Pets, we're reminded of the incredible journey Chris has taken us on. From his early days as a professional display calibrator to his current role as a freelance musician, Chris's love of audio has been a constant theme throughout his life.

But back to the movie! For those who may not be familiar with the plot, The Secret Life of Pets follows Max, a spoiled terrier who enjoys a comfortable life in a New York building until his owner adopts Duke, a giant and unruly canine. As they go for a walk outside, they encounter a group of ferocious alley cats and wind up in a truck that's bound for the pound. Luckily, a rebellious bunny named Snowball swoops in to save the day, demanding that Max and Duke join his gang of abandoned pets on a mission against the humans who've wronged them.

As we watch this heartwarming tale unfold under the stars, we're reminded of the importance of community and the power of music to bring us together. Chris's passion for audio has created an experience that will be cherished by families for years to come. So mark your calendars and get ready to enjoy a night to remember at Movies by Moonlight!
