HOST A SCREENING

ALS Film Fund is in need of funding and awareness to help distribute Indestructible to the public. Because we are a small organization without big dollars, your help can make all the difference.

You can host a screening in your home, at your local school, restaurant, museum, library, yoga studio, or anywhere that has a projector, DVD player and sound system.  This can be as simple as a large screen television in your living room all the way up to a full-size theater in your community.  While many venues charge rental fees, there are usually some free or inexpensive options in your area.  Depending on your budget and manpower, a screening can be arranged almost anywhere. 

Below are some general questions you may have about hosting a screening, however, please do not hesitate to contact Rebeccah Rush at alsfilm@gmail.com or 312-848-5919.

Do you provide any promotional materials for screenings?
ALS Film Fund will provide, at no additional cost, two 27"x48" Indestructible posters for all screenings.  ALS Film Fund will post your screening on www.indestructiblefilm.com as well as include pertinent information in newsletters and on our blog to assist in making your screening a success.  Postcards, additional posters and PR can also be arranged for a fee.

What does the screening fee cover?
The screening fee covers the rights to show the film as agreed upon between you or your organization and ALS Film Fund, as well as two 27”x48” posters for display and ALS Film Fund participation to help publicize your event.  Some fees are for a one-time use only and some are for repeated use.  If you are not sure which category you fit into, please contact Rebeccah Rush.  Screening fees do not include additional costs associated with promotional materials, including postcards, additional posters, press or filmmaker travel.  If you require any or all of these, please contact Rebeccah at alsfilm@gmail.com or 312-848-5919.

Can the filmmakers attend my screening?
Yes, depending upon your budget it is possible to have one or more filmmakers attend your screening for a Q&A or panel discussion.  This is a great way to engage your audience in new ways and further their film experience.  Travel expenses will be an additional cost, depending upon location, length you would like us to stay, and if we have a free place to sleep.  We generally donate our time to attend screenings of Indestructible but appreciate any additional financial compensation.
