Webinar Introduction
Using Film Festival Events To Fundraise And Build Community
Our recent webinar presentation for American Trails offers an overview of information worth considering if you are part of an organization thinking of hosting a festival screening event. More resources will be provided soon.
New Event Worksheet
Following the discussion in the webinar above, we provide the following worksheet for getting started in your planning for screening events.
Program Line-ups
Visit our Current Programs page to see what film programs we have available.
Custom programs can be created based upon host organization’s preferences, themes, and to include local films. Some additional fees may apply.
Subtitles
We have English subtitles for all films and encourage screening events to display subtitles during their screenings.
To re-subtitle a film for additional (non-English) languages, the subtitle text files of the films need to be translated. We traditionally rely on host organizations to translate films for cost effectiveness and to ensure quality translations to local dialects or sensibilities.
Once the text files are translated to the new subtitle language, Trails Film can re-print the subtitles to the video files to display during the screening.
Invoicing & Making a Deposit
The best way to lock in your date and move forward your event preparation is by requesting an invoice and making a deposit of at least half of our program fee. Contact us to discuss payment options, which include wire transfer, major credit cards, PayPal, Wise transfers, and other services.
