Screening a film for friends, family, and random strangers can be a lot of fun, and it's a great way to bring people together, raise awareness and do something. This is a place where filmmakers with stories to tell can offer their film for screenings by anyone. You don't need a fancy theater, or even a fancy television. If you can play a DVD, you can bring folks together to see a film and take action.
1. Sign Up with Brave New Theatres
Sign up here.
2. Buy the DVD
DVDs can be purchased here.
3. Create a Sign-in Sheet
Sign-in sheet for people to, well, sign in, when they get to your screening. This is very important -- it gives both you and the folks at Garbageman Productions the opportunity to follow-up with the people after the screening and encourage them to get involved in the campaign or answer any questions. Encourage people to sign-in, but don't force them. It's still definitely more important that they see the movie!

Then, mail them back to us at:
