Anchoring Change
Dear <<First Name>>,
We're thrilled to be sharing exciting news with you! Since our premiere last fall, we've screened
Love Thy Nature at
film festivals around the US and across the globe; received 17
awards; revamped our
website; and just signed a distribution deal with
TUGG.
Plus, we're opening
in theaters in San Francisco and the Bay Area in the Spring!
What is even more exciting is that
Love Thy Nature is
now available as a tool for non-profits to advance their vision and promote change. Local, national and global NGOs - whose mission is to protect and/or strengthen our bond with nature - can now use the film to further their causes: they can have guest speakers at the screenings, attract new members, and even raise funds.
We're deeply honored to be joining forces with some of our most esteemed non-profits, which have been beacons of change in the "human-nature" movement.
One such organization is
Bioneers. With 25 years of visionary leadership, the founders Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simmons have been bringing together a myriad of scientific and social innovators, igniting "A Revolution from the Heart of Nature."
We're overjoyed to be co-hosting with Bioneers our first theatrical screenings right on time for Earth Day!
Apr 17th-23rd -
Vogue Theater - San Francisco, CA.
Apr 19th, 4:15pm -
Rafael Theater - San Rafael, CA.
Plus, the
New Parkway Theater in Oakland, CA, selected
Love Thy Nature for their "Doc Night" on April 14th at 7pm.
If you are on the Bay Area on Earth Week, make sure you get your tickets soon.
And if you're at the helm of an organization (including NGOs, schools, community centers, spiritual groups etc.) and
would like to explore a screening partnership, contact our talented Outreach Producer
Matthew Chandler.
Theatrical... "on Demand?"
That's right. The distribution company we just closed a deal with - TUGG - has a cutting edge method of grass roots screenings some have coined as "Theatrical on Demand" or TOD. The idea is that anyone interested can now host a screening at a theater (or campus, or community hall, etc.) near them!
How does it work? That person (the "promoter") goes to our
TUGG-Love Thy Nature page, requests a screening at the time and location of their choice. We promote the event (via social media or otherwise) and if a minimum number of people are interested, a "threshold" is met and the screening is green lit.
Besides having an opportunity to share
Love Thy Nature with their community, as mentioned earlier, hosts can invite guest speakers, present their own mission to viewers (as long as they are in alignment with our own); broaden their own audience base, and even raise funds.
Interested in hosting? Go to our
TUGG page or email our Outreach Producer
Matthew Chandler for any questions.
Think of this as Biomimicry for film distribution. We're doing it the way of nature... releasing seeds in the wind, landing on the most fertile soil, growing into trees, connecting with the web of life.
Grassroots at its foundation.
Wishing you Nature
