Promote Your Event
Current customers can create and print full-color bookmarks and 8.5" x 11" movie posters to advertise in their school. Bookmarks can be used as tickets and posters can be used as giveaways for trivia contests and other games during intermission. (Learn about advertising guidelines here.)
Obtain Your Movie
Once you have obtained your Public Performance Site License, you may buy, borrow or rent your movie from any legal source such as a video store, online retailer or personal collection.
