We are thrilled to welcome you to the LUNA® family as a LUNAFEST® host. You are a key partner in helping us achieve our goal: to champion women in film and support women’s causes. In partnership, we want to make sure that the hosting process is as easy and fun as possible. 

For the 2021 season, we are excited to celebrate our 20th year, as well as share a few updates to the program.  

On this page, you’ll find a planning checklist and tools we’ve put together to help you organize a successful event, be it live, virtual or a combination of both. We’ve tried to keep this simple, allowing creative space for your own ideas. We have included inspiration and tips based on our own hosting experiences. We welcome your input because you know your community best. 

Please read through the checklist and drop-downs below to make sure you’re staying on track. A few time-sensitive steps need to be completed before your event can happen. As always, we are here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. 

Happy planning! 

LUNAFEST Team | lunafest@clifbar.com 

Back in 1999, LUNA® was introduced as the very first nutrition bar for women. Our mission was to champion women and create momentum to spark change. To fuel women’s ambition, as well as their bodies. 

That vision inspired us to create LUNAFEST in 2001, the world’s first all-women traveling film festival.

For the past 20 years, we’ve celebrated a powerful and diverse set of women filmmakers and given their short films a national platform. Our first event was a small but hopeful screening in California. Since then, we’ve celebrated and shared the work of 170 women filmmakers, raising over $6 million for local women’s causes. Now our unique platform travels to over 200 cities each season.  

We are thrilled to partner once again with Chicken & Egg Pictures, a nonprofit organization that celebrates and champions women storytellers. Chicken & Egg Pictures provides mentorship and critical financial support to women nonfiction filmmakers. Their films have not only gained recognition but also made an impact on social and economic issues. And for the first time, our organizations have joined forces to co-produce three of this season’s films. Together, LUNA and Chicken & Egg Pictures are creating a strong community for women in the film industry. 

We have a few updates for the 2021 Season. We go into detail about these in the Host Guide below, but we wanted to give you the headlines: 

1. We have moved our virtual events to Eventive! Eventive is an all-in-one ticketing and streaming platform that offers fully customizable virtual screening packages and is optimized for Video on Demand and livestreaming. 
2. Posters, postcards, ads, etc. will be provided as downloadable files directly from our site and will no longer be ordered through our print partner. These editable PDFs can easily be customized for your event.  
3. This season features an all-documentary lineup of seven short films featuring strong women, powerful images, and impactful language. Stories reflect the diverse perspectives of the filmmakers and their subjects. May contain content that is not suitable for children or teens. If you'd like to preview the films, just let us know and we'll send over a preview link.

By far, the main driver of success for all our events is word of mouth, but there are many ways to get the word out. We recommend a combination of the following: 

• NEW! Create your own posters, ads, and postcards with the editable PDFs below (this will replace our partner service we have used in the past). It’s easy, and we include a cheat sheet with tips on how to use the editable assets. Be sure to choose the correct folder - We have included assets for Virtual, Hybrid, and Live events (each in their own folder). 
• Invite your network via email or e-newsletters. 
• Create an event on your organization’s Facebook Page and invite your followers. 
• Post to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! We have a great Social Media Kit (below) for you to get started with. You can post about the films, filmmakers, history of LUNAFEST, unique features of your event, etc. Be sure to choose the correct folder and read the How To Guide - we have included assets for Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (each in their own folder)
• Want more images to use for promoting your event? Please visit our Media Room for downloadable film stills from all of this season's films.
• Encourage your volunteers, partners, and sponsors to spread the word to their networks via word of mouth, newsletters, and social accounts. 
• Some hosts have assigned "Virtual Table Captains" to help sell a certain number of tickets each for a free ticket themselves. 
• Reach out to local media outlets using the Media Alert (below).  
• Invite local bloggers and influencers to share about the event and attend.

Hosts have had great success with fundraising beyond just ticket sales via event sponsorship, silent auctions, and donations.  

Tip: Be sure to remind attendees that some companies match donation funds. 

SPONSORSHIP + DONATIONS — Many of our hosts seek sponsorships to help with the cost or to raise funds for their event. Sponsorships can significantly offset the cost of running your event. While there are fewer costs with virtual events, sponsorships can help pay for a livestream event, goodie bag swag and shipping, and social media ad fees. Reaching out to local businesses also helps build community involvement around your event. Not familiar with asking for sponsorship? We have an easy-to-use Sponsorship Packet with sample letter, example sponsorship levels, etc. Just click the download icon below.

New! We now have more space on the editable PDFs and a place on your EVENTIVE ticketing page to highlight your sponsors’ logos.

You can make virtual events fun! Last year, we saw so much creativity, we wanted to share a few ideas with you: 

• Host a livestream Q+A with a filmmaker after viewing the films on Eventive! For $250, the Eventive team will help you produce a livestream discussion on the virtual platform (no more managing the back end on your own!). 
• Encourage your attendees to throw on some fun jewelry, make a specialty cocktail, and pop up some gourmet popcorn. 
• Create goodie bags and set up local pick-up or delivery for virtual screenings (think movie night supplies). 
• Your guests can purchase a LUNAFEST wine kit from the CLIF Family Winery to enjoy during the show. Your guests can enjoy 20% off with the promo code: LUNAFEST21 (available for Luna kits only and not eligible to be combined with other sales promotions or discounts). To view a mini virtual wine tasting and learn more about the wines featured in our kits, please check out this VIDEO from Clif Family Winery. You may also share this with your attendees!
• Partner with a local restaurant for dinner and a movie. 
• Set up a Drive-in Movie or Outdoor Pop-Up Screening – host at a local drive-in theater or create your own outdoor screening at a local park with a portable projector and screen. There are companies that can do this for you! 
• Have guests participate in a virtual Instagram photo booth complete with new LUNAFEST Instagram stickers and frames! Just have your guests tag your Instagram account and use the hashtag #LUNAFEST. 
• Get some more inspiration from our LUNAFEST Pinterest board!

  • LUNAFEST Spotify playlist is a great way for your guests to get excited about your upcoming event.
  • Discounted LUNA bars - We are thrilled to offer 20% off all LUNA Bars. Every ticket confirmation email from your event will include a discount to purchase LUNA bars on lunabar.com.  

LUNAFEST is moving to Eventive! Eventive is an all-in-one ticketing and streaming platform that offers fully customizable virtual screening packages and is optimized for Video on Demand and livestreaming. 

Eventive offers two formats for screenings: Video on Demand (VOD), or VOD + Livestream: 

1. VOD: Attendees stream LUNAFEST films any time during the 48-hour viewing window. This is the simplest option for hosts and allows attendees flexibility in viewing the films.  
2. VOD + Livestream: Films stream at a designated event time. Hosts can include a livestream section during their event. The films + recorded livestream will be available to attendees for the 48-hour period.  
   • The Eventive team will help you produce your Livestream event for a fee of $250. This is similar to a “live event” experience with a specific event time, intro, and/or Q&A in real-time and allows the audience to interact with the chat function. VOD films plus a filmmaker Q&A is a great use of this type of event. 

 Other great things about Eventive:  

• Hosts can upload pre-recorded welcomes/filmmaker intros as pre-roll and upload other recorded content such as pre-recorded Q&As to add to their virtual screenings.   
• There are numerous ways your audience can watch Eventive virtual screenings, including Apple TV,  AirPlay, Roku, and Chromecast. Learn more here: http://watch.eventive.org/help
• Eventive's audience support is available from 6 a.m. - 12 a.m. PST, 7 days a week, for your guests and attendees.   
• Eventive also offers various methods to highlight sponsors on your streaming page.  

Eventive FAQs: 

How do I submit my sponsor logos? 

• Display ads can be submitted in jpeg and png format only.  Recommended specs are at least 600px wide, and either wide or square aspect ratio. Please email them directly to lunafest@clifbar.com one week prior to your event. If you send any materials to lunafest@clifbar.com you warrant and represent that they do not infringe or misappropriate anyone else's rights. 

How do I submit my recorded video welcome (or sponsor video, etc.)? 

• You may record your video using your phone, Zoom, etc. You may add in sponsor videos, etc. But make sure to combine everything into one file before submitting to us. Specs are as follows: 
  • Recommended length: under 20 minutes. 
  • VERY IMPORTANT: If filming on a phone, please ensure you are filming in HORIZONTAL format (landscape view)
  • 1920x1080 h.264 @10Mbps, max file size 10GB. Both .mp4 and .mov format are accepted. 
  • Please name your file as follows: “[Your organization] _ [event date]LUNAFEST_Intro” 
  • We will send you an upload link via email. 
  • You must submit your video at least 7 days prior to your event date. 

Can I still host a Livestream event?  

• Yes! Eventive offers a Video on Demand (VOD) + Livestream option. For $250, Eventive can provide a personal event producer to manage your livestream (if you choose to incorporate a livestream into your event).  

How does Ticketing + Eventive work? 

• We strongly recommend using Eventive for your ticketing to ensure a seamless experience for your attendees. Eventive will automatically send confirmation emails, reminders, and of course the link to view the films on demand. Similar to Eventbrite and other ticketing platforms, Eventive has some additional fees.  These fees should be INCLUDED in your ticket price and Eventive will deduct them from your payout. So, there is some math involved. Not to worry! We have made it easy for you to figure out the pricing of your tickets to make sure you meet your fundraising goals for each ticket, for example:  

• Transaction fees are 5% of the total ticket price + $0.99  
• DRM Streaming unlock fees are $0.99 per virtual screening ($1.49 for VOD + livestream)  

We have made it easy for you to figure out the pricing of your tickets to make sure you meet your fundraising goals for each ticket, for example:  

VOD (No livestreaming): 

• To net $10 per Ticket: $10 + Eventive Fees $2.50 = $12.50 Published Ticket Price* 
• To net $15 per Ticket: $15 + Eventive Fees $2.75 = $17.75 Published Ticket Price* 
• To net $20 per Ticket: $20 + Eventive Fees $3 = $23.00 Published Ticket Price* 
• To net $25 per Ticket: $25 + Eventive Fees $3.25 = $28.25 Published Ticket Price* 
• To net $40 per Ticket: Ticket price $40 + Eventive Fees $4 = $44.00 Published Ticket Price* 

Equation: Your set ticket price = (net amount you wish to keep + $0.99 + $0.99)/$0.95)    

*We have rounded up these numbers to the nearest increment of .25 cents.

VOD + Livestreaming:  

• To net $10 per Ticket: $10 + Eventive Fees $2.50 = $13.25 Published Ticket Price* 
• To net $15 per Ticket: $15 + Eventive Fees $2.75 = $18.50 Published Ticket Price* 
• To net $20 per Ticket: $20 + Eventive Fees $3 = $23.75 Published Ticket Price*  
• To net $25 per Ticket: $25 + Eventive Fees $3.25 = $29.00 Published Ticket Price*  
• To net $40 per Ticket: $40 + Eventive Fees $4 = $44.75 Published Ticket Price*  

Equation: Your set ticket price = (net amount you wish to keep + $0.99 + $1.49)/$0.95) 

*We have rounded up these numbers to the nearest increment of .25 cents.

NOTE: Eventive requires that US hosts submit a W-9 form to receive payout so if your organization does not have or want to fill out a W-9 form you may use an outside ticketing platform of your choice. See last section below for information about using outside ticketing.

How does CANADIAN Ticketing + Eventive work? 

• For our Canadian hosts, we also strongly recommend using Eventive for your ticketing to ensure a seamless experience for your attendees. Ticket prices and payouts are in Canadian dollars so there is no conversion necessary. Eventive will automatically send confirmation emails, reminders, and of course the link to view the films on demand. Similar to Eventbrite and other ticketing platforms, Eventive has some additional fees.  These fees should be INCLUDED in your ticket price and Eventive will deduct them from your payout. So, there is some math involved. Not to worry! We have made it easy for you to figure out the pricing of your tickets to make sure you meet your fundraising goals for each ticket, for example:  

• Transaction fees are 5% of the total ticket price + C$0.99 transaction fee + C$1.29 DRM unlock fee 
• DRM Streaming unlock fees are  C$1.29 per virtual screening  (C$1.99 unlock fee for VOD + livestream)

We have made it easy for you to figure out the pricing of your tickets to make sure you meet your fundraising goals for each ticket, for example:  

VOD (No livestreaming): 

Equation: Your set ticket price = (net amount you wish to keep + $0.99 + $01.29)/$0.95)    

VOD + Livestreaming:  

Equation: Your set ticket price = (net amount you wish to keep + $0.99 + $1.99)/$0.95) 

*We recommend you round up to the nearest dollar to keep it simple. 

NOTE: Eventive requires that Canadian hosts submit a W-8BEN-E form to receive payout so if your organization does not have or want to fill out a W-8BEN-E form, you may use an outside ticketing platform of your choice. See last section below for information about using outside ticketing.

How will I know how many tickets I have sold? 

• When your event goes live, the LUNAFEST team will send an email introducing you to the Eventive Premium Support team. We will need a few pieces of info from you, including payment information. When you want to check on your ticket sales, you can connect with Eventive Premium Support to ask for an update. Please do not contact premium support other than from the email address in which you were introduced to Eventive.   

Can attendees buy tickets for others as gifts?

• Yes! They can select your screening on Eventive and look for the Give as Gift below the Pre-Order/Unlock Now button. After they click on the link, they can add the recipient's email address and an optional message, then continue on with the rest of the transaction. The recipient then receives an email and can "accept" and gift to complete the transfer(and create an account if they don't already have an Eventive account).

How do I receive my payout? 

For US Organizations:

• Eventive is now able to provide direct payment to our hosts via Stripe. 
• Your payments will be made on a monthly basis on the 1st of the month directly to your organization's bank account.
• You will be invited to set up a simple Eventive Revenue Sharing Account to receive funds directly.
• There is a 1% fee from Stripe on the net amount of the payout for this service.
• You must be set up with Revenue Share BEFORE ticket sales can begin.
• More information is available in the Eventive Payment Process Guide. 

For Canadian Organizations:

• Eventive will disburse funds to each organization within 15 days after the end of the month of the event. For example, an organization with a screening held January 10-12 would receive a payout by February 15. 
• Please fill out form W-8BEN-E and save as a PDF, using the following notation: “[organization name]_W-8BEN-E.

 Can I still use my own ticketing site? 

• Yes, but we recommend you use Eventive to consolidate ticketing and streaming experiences. If you do not use Eventive's ticketing platform, you may use your own ticketing platform but please note the following: 

      1. You must end ticket sales on your platform by the evening before your event date and send to the LUNAFEST team so we can enter these attendees into the Eventive system.

      2. Attendees will receive an email confirmation from Eventive so they can access the films. They will need to set up a simple account with Eventive to do so.

      3. Please know that organizations will still be invoiced for all streaming fees for your attendees (.99/per VOD attendee or $1.49/per VOD + Livestream attendee).  

We suggest you keep your ticket prices the same or similar to a live screening event. This is still a fundraiser for your nonprofit organization, and your community will appreciate being able to support your organization while enjoying the films from the comfort of their home. Some hosts also offer lower-priced tickets for students and seniors. We also suggest offering an individual ticket price and a higher household or group ticket price for 2+ viewers in one home. 

US Ticketing + Eventive:

We strongly recommend using Eventive for your ticketing to ensure a seamless experience for your attendees. Eventive will automatically send confirmation emails, reminders, and of course the link to view the films on demand.
