Bring "A Friend Indeed" To Your City

"A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story" is a very inspiring and powerful production - a true crowd pleaser! Every Public Screenings has been met with incredible enthusiasm and praise.

Bring A Friend Indeed to your city - marquee

Now there are three great ways to bring this award-winning documentary to your city - the "The Screen It Yourself Package" by Purchasing The Public Screening DVD by Itself, and by hosting a "Filmmaker Presentation and Screening".

 




 

The Screen It Yourself Package

With the recent availability of the Deluxe Edition (Home Use) DVD, a very large percentage of audience members have been purchasing the Deluxe Edition (Home Use) DVDs immediately after viewing.

The incredible popularity of the DVD with people who have just experienced a screening of the documentary has led the way to a brand new and mutually beneficial way that you can bring "A Friend Indeed" to your city!

With the innovative new "Screen It Yourself Package" you can host your own screenings of this heartfelt and award-winning production, spreading a wonderful message about the power of human compassion, and you can actually profit from DVD and ticket sales!

The Screen It Yourself Package - 20 DVDs plus free Public Screening DVD

With the "Screen It Yourself Package", you will receive 20 Deluxe Edition DVDs of "A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story" for just $14 each (which you will then resell for $20 each at your screenings).

With this package you will also receive a FREE Public Screening DVD with a 1-Year Screening License (a $199 value), allowing you to host "A Friend Indeed" Public Screenings for audiences of any size as often as you'd like*, and sell the Deluxe Edition DVDs to your viewers at your events.

- - - A Great Fundraising Tool - - -

The Deluxe Edition DVD has over 2 hours of additional footage along with the full documentary so it offers a greatly enhanced experience for continued viewing, and "A Friend Indeed" DVDs make great gifts so many audience members will often buy more than one!!!

And since you will be offering the DVDs at a big discount off the regular website price (your price of $20 versus $28.95 on the web with shipping) it makes it easy and affordable for everyone to purchase. At the same time, you are profiting $6 for every DVD sold. And mentioning that you are selling the DVDs as a fundraiser will help boost sales even further.

- - - The Details - - -

The cost of the Screen It Yourself Package is just $280 (or 20 DVDs at $14 per DVD). You can then resell the DVDs at your screenings or place of business for $20 each, bringing you $400 in revenue. So instead of spending money to host a screening, you actually profit $120 for having one or more screenings and selling just one set of 20 DVDs.

Order as many sets of 20 DVDs as you'd like - there is no limit to the number of DVDs you can sell or screenings that you can host.* You may also resell them at your place of business, at a craft/trade show, or any other physical venue within your county (online sales prohibited).

You will be making money while at the same time helping a grassroots effort to spread this very positive message of friendship, faith, and human compassion to the rest of the world.

*You can screen "A Friend Indeed" in any location within your county as long as the screening is primarily sponsored by your organization. If one year lapses from your last purchase, then just buy another Screen It Yourself Package of 20 DVDs to renew your screening license for another year.

Ticket Sales to your Public Screenings...

...another source of revenue with the "Screen It Yourself Package": If you charge admission to your screenings, you then share the ticket proceeds 50/50 with Lane Wyrick (Director/Editor of "A Friend Indeed"), allowing you to profit not only from DVD sales, but ticket sales as well.

You may also choose to have free screenings. Having a larger audience increases the likelihood that you will sell more DVDs, so free screenings are a great way to share "A Friend Indeed" and still profit from DVD sales.

Crowd from public screening

Screen "A Friend Indeed" at your place of business, in a movie theater, convention hall, high school, library, coffee shop, or host your own house parties - anywhere you have the ability to screen a DVD can become your own "theatrical" setting.

If you are using your screening as a fundraising event where your ticket prices are over $10 each, then you would keep all of the ticket sales beyond the $10 shared admission (so just $5 per ticket would go to Lane Wyrick even if you had a $50 per plate fundraising dinner).

Get the word out about your screenings by using the Do-It-Yourself Promotional Tools on this website to create your own customized posters, fliers and emails - new innovative tools are being added on a frequent basis.

Lane Wyrick, Director/Editor of "A Friend Indeed - The Bill Sackter Story"

With over 8 years of research and production on "A Friend Indeed", Wyrick will give your audience very knowlegable insight and background information as well as a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the documentary.

His powerful and compassionate perspective on Bill's amazing journey from forgotten individual to internationally known hero for people with disabilities will give a whole new dimension to your screening event!

Wyrick will introduce your screening of "A Friend Indeed", followed by post-screening Q&A or panel discussion according to your needs. He can also appear/speak at any special activities for your organization on the afternoon or evening of the screening - very effective for your fundraisers and important events.

"Wow, the movie "A Friend Indeed' was amazing. I have devoted most of my adult life to advocacy on behalf of people with intellectual disabilities. I have experienced many daily inspirations and joys, but this movie was really something. Every one needs to see this. Lane Wyrick is an amazing film maker and now a friend. Every person, agency and Arc that believes they care, needs to see this to reawaken why we exist." - Cindy Norwood - The Arc of Greater Cleveland - They hosted a very successful Filmmaker Presentation & Screening on November 3, 2009

 

A Friend Indeed MarquisA "Filmmaker Presentation and Screening" is $750 plus hotel and transportation originating from Iowa City. With this arrangement, Wyrick would bring his own Public Screening DVD and an appropriate amount of the Deluxe Edition DVDs of "A Friend Indeed" at no extra cost to you.

These DVDs will be sold immediately following the screening for $20 each, and you will receive $6 for every DVD that is sold (just like the "Screen It Yourself Package").

If at least 20 DVDs are sold at your screening, you will also receive a FREE Public Screening DVD and 1 year license so you can have continued screenings of "A Friend Indeed".

And like the "Screen It Yourself Package", you can also generate even more revenue for your organization if you charge admission to your Filmmaker Presentation and Screening by receiving a 50% share of ticket sales as well (sharing with Lane Wyrick (Director/Editor of "A Friend Indeed"). If this is a fundraising dinner or an event where ticket prices are over $10 each, then you would keep all but $5 per ticket, which would go to Lane Wyrick. Click here for specific information about hosting a screening at a movie theater.

A helpful idea you might consider is enlisting the support of one or more local businesses to financially sponsor your "Filmmaker Presentation and Screening", giving them recognition as a sponsor and allowing you to profit more immediately from your screening event.

You provide the venue and Filmmaker Lane Wyrick will provide a very memorable event!
