Are you an individual, community, school, or organization that would like to bring CONNECTED to your community?
There are several ways you can do so, and we want to hear from you!
1. Host a fundraiser screening:
Here’s what YOU do:
- Choose a non-profit organization or school for which you would like to host a fundraiser.
- Secure a date and venue (can be anything from a theater to a school auditorium to a large open space).
- Work with us to choose the best ticket price (anywhere from $10-$100, depending on the community). We generally have a lower price for advanced tickets, higher for tickets at the door.
- Use the materials we provide to promote the event to your community (we provide poster and postcard files, and suggested promotional language for your Facebook, Twitter, email, and print networks).
- Sell tickets to your community (we set up the website to do so, you just point people there and monitor how many tickets are being sold).
- Plan a post-film discussion. We provide a variety of materials to help you lead the discussion, and to help the audience dive deeper into the themes of the film.
Here’s what WE do:
- Set up the website where you will sell your tickets, and help you determine a good price.
- Provide a DVD or Blu-Ray for the screening (feature film is 80 mins, but we also have a 60 min version available if time is tight).
- Provide promotional materials to help you draw as many people as possible to your event.
- Send you a package with our highly-acclaimed discussion materials to help you lead a discussion after the film.
- Offer for Director Tiffany Shlain or another member of our team to either come to the event or Skype in for a Q&A (fees depend on location and size of event).
To get started, please fill out the form below or email sawyer@connectedthefilm.com
2. Sponsor the screening for your community:
We also offer a community screening license for a one-time flat fee. You or your organization can sponsor the screening yourself, or you can work together with others, building community and coalitions in the spirit of connectedness (and reducing the cost for each organization). You are also welcome to charge at the door to cover the screening fee, or sponsor the event completely for your community.
For this option, we also provide an electronic package of promotional materials (posters, postcards, promotional language for your Facebook, Twitter, email, and print networks), as well as a physical package filled with discussion materials to help lead a powerful discussion after the screening.
Fill out the form below, or write to sawyer@connectedthefilm.com to get started.
Thank you for being part of this conversation about interdependence and what it means to be connected in the 21st century. We are very happy to work with you — this film has been such a collaborative process throughout the past five years that we are thrilled to now be at a point where we can collaborate with groups like yours to make a difference on so many levels.
