>Hey,
>glad you want to do a screening. Here are a few things you can do before
>we send you a copy of the film....
>
>1. identify a day and location. (make this far enough in advance so that we
>have 2 or three weeks to get you the DVD)- this is so we make sure you have
>your ducks in order, and we can post it to our website to help with
>promotion.
>
>2. identify a co-sponsoring group (and contact). This can be an affiliated
>radio station, local neighborhood group - anything really. - we just want 
>to
>make sure that we aren't just sending these to isolated indymedia centers,
>and we want to use the screenings as an opportunity to build bridges and
>manifest live audiences. It also gives us a backup contact.
>
>When you can send us these two items of info (along with a mailing address
>(to diyscreenings at ithefilm.com) we will send out the dvd's and a link to
>color and black and white downloadable posters.- as well as a basic press
>release you can adapt for your location.
>
>After the screening we encourage you to go here:
>Www.ithefilm.com/conversation
>And leave your thoughts and reply to others who have posted theirs.
>
>MONEY:
>The situation with money is this. We expect that areas that can ask for a
>donation of a few dollars at the door do so, but we want to make sure that
>no one is turned away for lack of funds. The money you send back to us goes
>to fund to diy screenings in other locations where donations are not
>realistic- for example  Argentina... If you would like to use this event as
>a fundraiser for the host organizations that is great and encouraged- in
>which case we would ask for a 50/50 split- but in all cases we are pretty
>flexible. We just want the program to pay for itself in the long run. 
>Making
>screenings like these self supporting means they are sustainable over the
>long run without asking for grants and we feel that is a pretty radical
>option.
>
>Thanks so much, and let me know if you have any more questions.
>-Rebecca
