CONTACT FRESH

Before you write us an email, please review the frequently asked questions below. We are running a grassroots distribution campaign and because there are only a few people answering all your emails, we ask that you review the answers below to make sure your question isn’t already answered.

Thanks!

How do I see FRESH?

*We are currently not selling individual copies of the DVD, rather, we are selling various sized screening licenses which give you the right to screen the film in front of an audience, whether it be to raise funds for a particular cause or organization, or simply to educate. We believe that a positive change to the sustainable food movement is going to largely be the result of groups of people rallying together and we want FRESH to be something for groups to engage around. We want FRESH to be an activist tool.

Please read all about our motivations and goals for FRESH here.

How long is FRESH?

* FRESH is 70 minutes long. We suggest allowing at least 45 minutes for a panel discussion after the film; if you’re renting a venue, you can expect to use it for about 4 hours (including set-up and clean-up).

What equipment is needed to screen FRESH?

*You will receive a DVD for your screening purposes.  It will play on all DVD players in any region (US or International) and can be projected using computer DVD projection systems.

Is FRESH appropriate for children?

*We would say yes, overall FRESH is an enlightening and upbeat documentary about individuals all over the country working towards a more sustainable agricultural system. There are several scenes which last only seconds at a time of industrial agricultural practices which may be disturbing such as hog processing and chickens with missing beaks in close confinement. These scenes are featured midway through the film and again only last a few seconds at a time.

Do I need to purchase a license for each screening?

* YES. Community Screening Licenses are only good for one screening. You can purchase multiple screening licenses at a discounted rate available for purchase here.

Can I keep  the DVD after I have hosted a screening?

*YES. You can keep the DVD for personal use after your screening. If you would like to host another event please contact info@freshthemovie.com  to purchase an additional screening license.

Can I preview FRESH before deciding to host a larger screening?

*Of course, your first step is to purchase a home screening license here.  Second, watch  and enjoy!  If after you watch the film you are inspired and want to share FRESH with your community, Just email Lisa and she can work with you to upgrade your license.

What types of payment do you accept?

* We accept Master Card and Visa through our online store. If you are unable to pay online or don’t feel comfortable doing so, we accept checks and money orders. Please fill out this form and send it to us along with your payment. Once we receive your payment, your order will be shipped out.

What happens if I need to upgrade my screening license?

* If your screening grows larger than you anticipated, you can always upgrade your license by emailing Lisa Madison. We love to help you solve this type of problem! We can also arrange a multiple screening license – please let Lisa know if you’re interested!

Will you help me promote my FRESH screening?

* Yes! We will help promote any community screening! The best practice is to let us know about your event. We try to keep up with all the events being organized, and want to promote them all, but if you email us and let us know what you’re planning, we’ll be sure to do everything we can to ensure that your event is a smashing success.

How do I publicize my event?

* We have a number of publicity materials on Promotional Materials page – feel free to download any or all of them and modify as you like. You can also find a zip file with a high-resolution In-Design version of the FRESH movie poster on the Promotional Materials page that you can modify or use to design your own, unique FRESH posters.

* Create a Facebook event for your screening and send the page to us, we’ll be happy to post it on our Facebook FRESH Fan page!

* Contact your local radio stations and newspapers about your screening! You can direct media inquires to us, we’re happy to talk about our distribution model with anyone and can sometimes arrange interviews with the Director of FRESH, Ana Joanes.
