Have you found a place to screen here in LA yet?

 

[Brandon Rice]

Nope. I seriously can't afford to rent a place right now. Even the cheapest places are $300 bucks an hour.

do you have a DLP or LCD projector? can you set up some speakers? it would be more work but you can rent the hudson guild theatre. i believe it was $200 a night. you could ask for donations at the door o offset cost.

the wilshire screening room is $200 per hour before 4pm. you could probably negotiate that down. and again, ask for donations at the screening.

I was looking at the Wilshire place. Ya think 43 seats will be enough? If only the cast/crew shows up, that'll be nearly 20 people...

 

[Zak Forsman]

i've only used it once and that was not for the cast and crew screening. it was the one we invited journalists, agents, distribution companies and los angeles film critics to.

 

[Brandon Rice]

Gotcha. Maybe I'll have a little something local at my home for the cast/crew and then have one there for other people. I'll keep this thread updated.

 

[Zak Forsman]

yeah a full on cast and crew screening can get expensive. on Blue in Green, ours was at the Silent Movie Theater on fairfaxe ave. the crowd amounted to 150 people -- everyone invited their own friends and family. and we also rented out the terrace patio in back for an after party. cost? over $3,000.

the lesson learned was to incorporate the cost of screenings into the film's budget, which we did on White Knuckles.

also, in the coming weeks, i'm moving my company downtown to LA Center Studios. they have a 40 seat screening room and a 400 seat theater. as a tenant, i will get a discounted rate. will let you know, if it still falls within your price range.

 

[Brandon Rice]

Thanks for the info man, let me know.

Excellent! Glad it went well.

Thanks! Tonight is our second screening in Virginia! I'll hopefully have some pics to post up tonight for that one as well!

 

[Brandon Rice]

Tonight's Virginia screening is starting right now.

Good luck with the screening!

Everybody's gonna stand up and clap at the end.

 

[Brandon Rice]

I sure hope so! If they do, we'll have video of it, I'll post as soon as I can. Probably next week.

 

[John C Lyons]

thanks for sharing the pics man! how's the word from virginia?

 

[Brandon Rice]

Word is: The screening went GREAT! Over 130 people showed up, including the president of the college, and he as well as everyone there really enjoyed the film! Pictures and Video to come!

 

[Brandon Rice]

We're going to have a cast/crew party on March 9th! Should be a great time.

 

[Brandon Rice]

UPDATE: We have about 20 distribution companies that we'll be contacting and sending the film out to. We're quite hopeful, as Daniel and I scanned through some "Christian market" content yesterday, and it was quite awful.
