Choose a venue

An offbeat indie classic, a cult documentary, or a Hollywood blockbuster? When selecting your film, make sure to choose a title, genre, or director your audience will love.

If you’re screening a film for public entertainment, don’t forget you’ll need a license from the copyright owner — you can usually acquire this from film distributors.

Treat guests to delicious refreshments before the screening with classic cinema snacks — think popcorn, pretzels, and ice cream — and a selection of drinks.

Amp up excitement
