GUIDELINES
|
Our mission is to share Thomas Chapin with the world. Your screening or booking will help us accomplish this! So we want to be helpful and make it work for you, and to keep it affordable and within your own or your organization’s goals and missions as well as budget.
1) Unless you have already seen the film, you will be asked to first view the 7-min. trailer; this will give you a good idea of what the film is about. Click here to see the trailer. 2) After viewing the trailer, you will be asked to watch the film via an online screener. We will send you that link. We want to be sure the film is a good fit for your purposes. 3) We want to discuss with you the various options available — The full 150-minute showcase version? The 90-minute “made for TV/cable” version? Screening parts or part of the film, but not all? We will be happy to discuss and help you decide which is best for your screening or booking. 4) You should already have a screening date in mind. |
