Yes, you read the title right and no, this isn't an article from The Onion.
In June 27, A24, the film distribution company behind many Academy Award winning and celebrated films like Moonlight, The Room, Lady Bird and The Florida Project, teased on social media a mysterious upcoming project called A24 Public Access.

In the tweet, empty white canvases can be seen with A24 film titles, dates, times, and coordinates listed below them.
Not long after A24 posted about the secret project, followers started looking up the coordinates and many noted that they pointed to locations were there were billboards - and more specifically, they were all-white billboards with just a small A24 logo, dates, and...you guessed it, times.
And just like that, after some teasing A24 stayed quiet about the project for a while, until today.
On early Wednesday morning, A24 unveiled that those mysterious billboards across various U.S. cities including Miami, Sacramento, and Ossipee, New Hampshire, would be used to project select A24 films to create "a big screen experience."

A24 also shared all the specific billboards being used part of the Public Access experience, posting the dates and times of the specific screenings.

A24's Public Access experience will start with Lady Bird at Sacramento, California on July 20, and will be followed with select A24 films being screened on billboards at the following select cities:
- The Bling Ring at Van Nuys, California on July 27
- The Witch at Ossipee, New Hampshire on August 6
- Good Time at Queens, New York on August 10
- The Spectacular Now at Athens, Georgia on August 17
- Moonlight at Miami, Florida on August 24
A24's Public Access experience will wrap up with Barry Jenkins' Moonlight, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2017.
For more information on specific film showing times, go to A24 Public Access' official site or check your local A24 billboard where the screening will take place. (Thank you A24 for allowing me to be able to say that last part of the prior sentence.)

Is there a specific A24 film screening that you're really looking forward to seeing or another film you would have loved to have seen screened? Definitely share, and where. I definitely would be more than okay watching The Florida Project at the actual motel where the film took place.
