Licensing for screenings with audiences over 100 people, and/or screenings in which admission is charged can be arranged on a case-by-case basis. A Digital Site License can also be arranged to suit the needs of the institution. DVD, BluRay, DCP or a direct digital download file are available for custom screenings.

CUSTOM SCREENING LICENSES (price varies) provide any group with a one-time screening, with fees based on the number expected to attend (or size of venue) and whether you plan to charge admission. 

DIGITAL SITE LICENSE (DSL) allows colleges, universities and non-profits to locally host and stream to their community on a closed, password-protected system for the life of the digital file. Restricted to use on a single campus and to those enrolled in online classes at that campus.
