Rick and Angela Martinez's Slab Cinema has been "building community through outdoor movie events" since its screening of Bucket of Blood in 2004. The 1959 horror comedy was projected onto a concrete slab outside La Tuna ice house and viewers had to sit within a few feet of the Martinez's borrowed projector to hear the sounds of the film.
