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!

An image we took with a beautiful red-headed model. We lifted her hair so that it was captured flying through the air and then enhanced the color for the image. Her gaze is directed directly into the camera for added intensity. The result is an intense portrait that harkens to Drew Barrymore’s image on the DVD cover of the movie, Firestarter.

This image was taken during a horror photo shoot with a young model. We chose a costume that evoked a timeless aspect, gave her a shipwrecked look both in and out of the water, then added prop elements that gave the image context – a washed up doll, a dagger and water plants that she dragged up on shore with her. We then recolored the photo to give it elements of contrast and boost her facial expressions as the focus of the image. The result is a creepy portrait a la the movie The Grudge.
