HOST A SCREENING
VENUE
As a host you’d be responsible for finding and securing the venue in either an independent theatre, church, community center, ballroom or any space that is indoor, has adequate restroom facilities, can be completely dark (windows must have the ability to close the drapes), and can facilitate/provide a projector, screen, audio and comfortable chairs. Remember these are long episodes and people will be sitting for long periods of time. Facility will need to either provide snacks or allow us to bring in snacks such as coffees, teas, beverages, bagels, fruit, a hot dish etc. While most venues will be happy to give us the space for free or a small fee, others will not. Please provide several options and their costs so that we may see if it fits within the budget. Venue should have enough seating for 100+ people.
TICKETS
You’d be responsible for driving people to the BirthRight Website to purchase their tickets for that particular screening. We will most likely only have one screening where the filmmakers can attend. You will be the point of contact for any ticket mishaps such as refunds, exchanges or if the purchaser encountered any problems. You will be the one to collect the tickets day of screening. All tickets will be a digital file/QR code. There will be no printed tickets.
MARKETING
As a host, you’d be responsible to communicate location, directions, times and possibly send out reminders a few days before the screening. You’d also be responsible to handle any type of additional marketing (beyond what the film is already providing) that you feel is necessary to drive people to the event. BirthRight will create the initial digital post/digital image that will be posted on social media outlets which will be modified for each location and can be shared but if the host wants to create or print any additional flyers or other marketing materials they would assume all costs associated with this from man power, design to print.
