[custom_adv] One of the most common questions is how much does a film screening cost to put on? [custom_adv] The honest answer: there is no average amount. In order to budget for your event, start by calculating equipment hire, venue hire, staffing expenses, catering, marketing and film screening licence. [custom_adv] Under UK copyright law, screenings films to audiences outside of the cinema or home for entertainment purposes requires a film screening licence from the copyright owner or their representatives. [custom_adv] Ensure that the location of your film screening is easily accessible for the majority of guests. Look for places with great transport links or nearby parking. [custom_adv] Once you have an area in mind and know your budget, you can start to shortlist venues to visit. [custom_adv] With online film streaming and home cinema systems now so easily available, it’s more important than ever to create something your audience can’t experience at home. [custom_adv] Think outside the box and go that step further to create an event that your audience won’t forget. [custom_adv] Immerse your audience from the moment they step into your venue by following a theme. [custom_adv] If you’re showing Grease, your entrance could be made to look like an American prom, your volunteers dressed in 1950s outfits and dancing in the vestibule.
