3. PUBLIC SCREENING RENTALS

If you want to show a film to the public as an individual, business, or organization, you can do that too! Public screening rentals can include, but are not limited to: 

• Fundraisers 
• Community Awareness 
• Community Organizing/Outreach 
• Client Appreciation 

You can choose any film you'd like to show. However, any film that is being shown in a public setting and/or advertised (for free or otherwise) by your business or organization requires a film license, or for smaller films, licensing/permission from the filmmaker directly, per copyright laws. Depending on the film and distributor, licensing fees generally range anywhere from $200-$500 ($250 is the most common fee). 

This must be obtained by the individual, business, or organization putting on the event. It's easy to request a license for most films!

Rental Pricing:  Same as above
