Booking Sneak Preview Screenings

We are booking a handful of sneak previews for select audiences in a few communities. If you would like to book a sneak preview for your group, school, organization or community, please email me for information: Hilari Scarl
 
Why Sneak Preview Screenings?

Most documentaries go through changes throughout their screening process. We have a top-notch team committed to thoroughly testing the film and making changes before our world premiere and official release to give us the best chance at distribution and getting the film into theaters.

This is an exciting time to see the film and be part of this process.

This is a very expensive procedure and funds are needed to help us with these last few changes. Please donate below or consider coming on board as an investor or sponsor. Thank you!

$50 - will help pay for interpreters for Q&A sessions
Donate

$100 - will help pay for airfares for the entertainers to attend their screenings
