Anything from light cream to light pink will work. Painted cinderblocks, yes. Plain grey concrete, yes. Bricks, no.
1500 lumen projector running at about 150 watts means you can project anywhere and run it off deep-cycle batteries with an inverter.

In answer to almost all the "Is it possible to..." and "How hard is to..." questions. The answers is: yes and not hard at all.

In the NYT photo you can see how hi-tech our arrangement is: a VCR, a DVD Player, an Amplifier, and a video switch racked in a milk crate. All of it donated or scrounged. Except for the LCD projector of course, which costs around a thousand bucks for a high luminosity. low wattage one now.
As for being hipsters and slackers the trendsetting youth of the future: don't know nutin about that. We're just poor schmucks who wanted to watch movies with our friends without spending ten bucks a pop.

Try a deep-cycle battery and inverter. Or borrow power from neighbors with a long extension cord. We often do both. Rico
