Here's how it works:

• Email us your contact information, and start dates of your exhibition period (which can be for a set time period or open-ended). We suggest initially promoting the virtual screening as a limited time event (say for 2 weeks, or one month), then extending the period for another couple of weeks or a month near the end of the first period.
   

• Please contact us at least two weeks in advance of your exhibition start date, and preferably 3 to 4 weeks in advance, to allow for you to have as much time as possible to promote your virtual screening, and record an optional post-screening Q & A video.
   

• We will email you promotional text, graphic images and a unique URL for a custom webpage highlighting that the screening is hosted by and will benefit your group or independent theater.

• The virtual cinema screening is hosted by Vimeo OTT VHX.TV, one of the leading online video platforms, which many independent film distributors use for virtual cinema screenings in association with local independent cinemas. Vimeo OTT provides a state-of-the-art, industry-standard HD digital viewing platform and handles the credit card processing.
   

• With a $12 customer ticket fee (the same price as charged at independent cinemas), after platform hosting fees and other administrative costs, the net proceeds are $10 per ticket, which would be evenly split between your group and Turning Tide Films. For example, if 200 screening tickets were sold, then $1,000 would be generated for your group.
   

• Consider the option of pre-recording a post-screening video discussion panel that you host with panelists of your choice or Q & A with members of your organization that you conduct in advance on Zoom. This video file would be posted to YouTube or Vimeo in advance of your first screening date.  This link would be included on the same page as the POWER STRUGGLE virtual screening, so that viewers could watch this following the film. If you are interested in exploring this possibility, please let us know and we can share information about how to set this up.  Filmmaker Robbie Leppzer is also available to participate in virtual Q & As.
   

• In order for your virtual screening to be a successful fundraiser and educational outreach opportunity for your organization, you will need to promote it as widely as possible to your members through your email newsletters, email blasts, social media postings and on your own website.
   

• Free full-length previews of POWER STRUGGLE are available for organizations or theaters interested in hosting a virtual screening.
