This summer, we were contacted by the Open Space and Land Acquisition Committee of Southington to create a 3-5 minute promo for the Southington Open Space program.
What is Open Space you might ask? It’s the type of land that towns and their citizens want to keep in a pristine, natural state without any future threat of development. It can be protected by municipalities so people can enjoy large, natural spaces minutes from home as well as activities like fishing, hiking, bicycling, picnic areas, playing fields, kayaking, boating and cross-country skiing. Throughout Southington and its villages, there are 29 Open Space parcels. These spaces are great areas for nature activities, and some of them are also great historical landmarks; such as the Milldale Train Depot parcel, which is a historical museum that depicts the railway history of the Farmington Canal Railway (now the Linear Trail in Southington). These spaces are important for the town of Southington not only for their natural value, but their preservation of family heritage for the families of Southington.

The Southington Drive-In is a great community activity the town of Southington offers that is truly unique. Re-opened as a town-owned and volunteer-operated drive-in theater in 2010, the Southington Drive-In has been bringing the wonders of the silver screen to viewers of all ages throughout the summer months – and we at Miceli Productions love to be a part of this amazing past time.
The Drive-In really allows us at Miceli Productions to give back to the Southington community and to invoke community spirit. While we put together the commercial reels before the films, this year we also created our own commercial to play during the pre-show entertainment reel. It was a typography-based visual project that gives our location within Southington, CT, but also invites viewers to get to know us as a company and as community supporters.
We are also excited to announce that the Southington Drive-In will be having a Halloween double-feature festival coming up this Saturday! Though the usual run of the Drive-In is every Saturday during the summer months, a Halloween festival had been started four years ago that is hosted by the Drive-In. Beginning at 2 P.M., the festival includes hayrides, faceprinting, and other fun activities until the two films play at night – Hocus Pocus and The Shining.
Come down and have a fun night at the movies with the Southington Drive-In to start off your Halloween celebrations!
More info on the Southington Drive-In or view their Facebook page for schedule updates.
