Lake Martin’s Jared and Shellee Smith put a nautical spin on the drive-in movie concept this summer when they set up an inflatable 20-foot screen in their lakeside backyard and projected a blockbuster film on it. About 30 boats anchored offshore from the Smith’s cabin near Crowne Pointe condominiums on Friday, Aug. 21, to watch the 1975 thriller, Jaws, and Shellee Smith said they would show another movie every other weekend as long as weather permits.
“We just love to entertain, and this is a fun way that we can do that,” she said.
