I've used scrims, I've used projection screens. I've never used a scrim as a projection screen, so I don't now how well it would work.
We've used our fire curtain to show movies - needless to say it didn't look too good. So, Dick and Denise (two of our donors and volunteers) have hinted that they want to show movies. So they asked. I can get a reasonable projection screen for under $1000. I can get an 8' W for under $300. Scrim of course can cost a bit. Basically, they (D & D) are not adverse to ponying up the dollars for such things - within reason.
So - which would give me the best use of potential donor dollars? A scrim (would have to be at least 36' W x 17' H) or a projection screen? Keep in mind that the rear of our house is maybe 60' from the proscenium - so I can get away with a smaller projection screen.
