Community use and free public screenings
Hundreds of community organizations, faith-based organizations and grassroots and student groups have screened Made in L.A. in order to draw attention to local issues or to create a dialogue around the issues in the film.
We want it to be easy for community groups to screen Made in L.A. and we deeply understand the financial constraints of small organizations. We are offering – for a limited time – two screening kits that are essentially free! Each kit "pays for itself" because it includes enough extra DVDs to sell at the event to cover the cost of the kit. (Be sure to visit our Host a Screening page for downloadable materials, an "Event Planning Toolkit" and much more)
Small community screening kit: $99. Includes 6 DVDs, 2 full-size movie posters (27x39) and 100 postcards. Because it includes 6 DVDs, you have 5 extra DVDs that you can sell for $20 at the event so that the kit "PAYS FOR ITSELF"! This kit is licensed for small, low-budget organizations and congregations doing free screenings up to 50 people. If you think you will be able to sell 10 DVDs (and they're popular!!) or can afford the higher price - go with the large screening kit below. Your support is crucial in our continuing this work! Order now! 
Large community screening kit: $198. Includes 11 DVDs, 5 full-size movie posters (27x39), and 200 postcards. Because it includes 11 DVDs, you have 10 extra DVDs that you can sell for $20 at the event so that the kit "PAYS FOR ITSELF"! This kit is licensed for larger, better-endowed organizations and congregations doing free screenings of any size up to 150 people. Order now!
If you prefer to buy a single DVD licensed for community screenings rather than a screening kit, we do offer two options below. But why not use a screening kit? It includes all the tools to make a bigger impact and will cost virtually nothing in the end!
  | Small community screening-licensed DVD: $54.95 This DVD is licensed for small, low-budget organizations and congregations doing free screenings up to 50 people. Please self-determine whether you are able to pay the higher price, as your support is crucial in our continuing this work. (But we'd suggest you use a screening kit instead - see above.) Order now! |

Educational & library use
Made in L.A. has recently been released by California Newsreel for use in universities, colleges, schools, public libraries and government agencies. To purchase the educational version and to read what academics are saying about Made in L.A., please click here.
California Newsreel is a non-profit educational distributor deeply dedicated to distributing social issue films.

Very important note for educators: The home video and community use DVDs are programmed so that they may not be viewed without the following warning appearing: "This DVD is licensed for home and community group use only. Use in universities, colleges, schools, public libraries or by any government agency is strictly prohibited. For information about purchasing Made in L.A. for educational purposes and to report violations, e-mail: contact@newsreel.org".

Student groups
Student groups are encouraged to use screening kits as long as you are doing an extra-curricular screening and no academic department or program sponsors or funds the event. In any other case, your school needs to purchase the educational version from our nonprofit educational distributor California Newsreel. (In that case, contact us, as we can usually send you a pack of free postcards to give out at the screening!)
Either way, we ask for your help in encouraging your school's library to request the educational DVD. This way the film will be available to students and professors for years to come!
