Drive-in theater operators aim to improve Sundance Drive-In with community support
Todd Williams is one of the last of a nearly vanished breed — the independent movie theater operator.

But to Williams, operating a retro form of entertainment like the drive-in makes sense in a world gone mad. “Honestly, I think the world has just gone absolutely nuts.
