HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are two ways to host a screening: DO IT YOURSELF or PARTNER WITH A THEATER
OPTION 1: DO IT YOURSELF
Purchase our film's One-Time Movie Screening Package.
We provide a digital guidebook to help you plan and execute the screening. It includes key questions to consider as you embark on event planning, event flow and logistics, a suggested screening-day agenda, and what to do after your event is over. |
Select Date, Time, and Location for a movie screening. This can be held at a movie theaters, schools, conference rooms, libraries, community centers, and corporate organizations, and even in your living room.
|
Invite everyone you know!!!
|
Sell tickets or bring on sponsors to monetize your event. (If you sell 20 tickets it will cover the film cost.)
This option is great for fundraising, trainings, and customized events. |
For non-profits we offer a 10% discount.
For more than two screenings we offer a 20% discount. For more than 10 screenings we offer a 40% discount. Email us for the code: screenings@californiasforgottenchildren.com |
One-Time Public Performance Movie Screening Package
|
Please note, any time a movie is shown outside of the home, legal permission is needed to show it, as it is considered a Public Performance. Any time movies are shown without the proper license, copyright law is violated and the entity showing the movie can be fined by the studios. If a movie is shown for any entertainment reason -- even in the classroom, government, trainings, it is required by law to obtains a Public Performance License. Above is the license you need.
OPTION 2: PARTNER WITH A THEATHER
Host a Screening in a Movie TheaterWe’ve partnered with Tugg.com, which is a web-platform that helps individuals, groups and organizations set up personalized movie screenings in theaters across the country. The process is simple: you pick the time, place and date, and Tugg will reserve the theater and give you a personalized Event Page for your screening. It's up to you to fill the seats and "confirm" the event by pre-selling a set amount of tickets before the event's deadline.
Once enough tickets are sold, your event will be confirmed with the theater and attendees will receive their tickets. If there aren’t enough tickets sold, then no one will be charged for the reservation and the screening will be called off. |
|
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER THE SCREENING?
We highly recommend holding a Q&A with local survivor leaders, non-profits from your area or hire one of our Ambassadors or bring in our Film Director. When the lights go up at the end of the film your audience will want to connect, share, and feel seen so it's a great way to create the space to continue the conversation after the film. It's also a chance for you to promote your own work.
MEET OUR AMBASSADORS
Let the documentary educate your community on the problems we are facing in our country and plant the seeds to make a difference. Work with our Ambassadors from the film to grow those seeds into real change and develop solutions and prevention together.

"Remember the one. We may not be able to end sex trafficking around the world, but we all have the ability to change one person's world. Find one worthy cause, one person in need of help and start there."
- Rachel Thomas, Ambassador
Learn how to have one of our Ambassadors prepare a powerful keynote speech or training with the screening.

WHAT IS THE BEST AGE GROUP FOR CALIFORNIA'S FORGOTTEN CHILDREN?
The best age group for California's Forgotten Children is anyone age 11 and up. The film follows six survivors of child sex trafficking and their path to freedom.
