The LUNAFEST Team | lunafest@clifbar.com 

WHAT IS A LUNAFEST SCREENING?

LUNAFEST is a film festival of short films by and about women and gender nonconforming individuals that serves as a “fundraiser in a box” for nonprofit hosts seeking to raise funds for their cause. Each season, the LUNAFEST Team curates a collection of short films (each between 3 and 18 minutes in length) to create a program with a total running time of 70 to 90 minutes (about 1 and a half hours). The 2023 LUNAFEST season officially runs from January 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023. LUNAFEST may be screened at In Person or Virtual events.

WHO CAN HOST A LUNAFEST SCREENING?

We welcome hosts raising funds for their 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, or campus groups officially sanctioned by their school. Individuals or groups that are not nonprofits may also host a LUNAFEST event if the net funds raised go to a nonprofit beneficiary organization. LUNAFEST events cannot be hosted for profit.

WHERE CAN I HOST A LUNAFEST EVENT?

Events can be held anywhere in the US and Canada, in person, or virtually. If hosting in person you are responsible for finding and renting the venue space. LUNAFEST events have been hosted at theaters, auditoriums, libraries, community centers, schools, cafes, drive-ins, etc. The films are delivered for In Person events via digital download, DVD or Blu-ray disc. Our virtual events are hosted on Eventive, our virtual platform partner. The Video On Demand screening window is 48 hours to start viewing and 48 hours to finish viewing.

IS THERE A FEE TO HOST?

Yes. There is a one-time donation fee of $250 that is paid directly to our nonprofit partner, Chicken & Egg Pictures. This organization supports women nonfiction filmmakers whose artful and innovative storytelling catalyzes social change. All additional net proceeds from your event may go to your nonprofit organization or beneficiary.

WHAT KIND OF MARKETING MATERIALS DO YOU PROVIDE?

Once we have confirmed your event, you may find all the downloadable marketing assets you need on the HOSTING GUIDES page. These include editable posters, postcards, and digital ads; social media assets such as posts, images, event page headers, Zoom backgrounds for virtual events, and more. Downloadable film stills can be found on our MEDIA ROOM page. We will also guide you through the hosting process via an email journey that provides step-by-step instructions.

CAN I GET LOCAL SPONSORS?

Yes. We encourage you to seek out local sponsors to help offset the costs of the host donation fee, venue rental (if hosting in person), as well as other costs, such as advertising fees or catering costs. LUNAFEST offers a customizable Sponsorship Packet in the HOSTING GUIDES section for this purpose.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN LUNAFEST HOSTING PACKAGE?

• The current season of LUNAFEST films (7 short films, total running time is 90 minutes) via digital delivery, DVD or Blu-ray, or DCP (In Person events) or via streaming on Eventive (virtual events)
• Custom ticketing/streaming page on Eventive, our virtual platform partner (virtual events)
• Customizable host promo materials
• LUNA bars and printed programs (In Person events only)
• LUNA bar discount (virtual events)

MAY I INVITE A FILMMAKER TO TAKE PART IN MY VIRTUAL LUNAFEST EVENT? 

Yes. You may invite LUNAFEST filmmakers to participate in a Q & A or discussion during your virtual event. Hosts may request a filmmaker email contact list and reach out to the filmmakers directly to invite them to attend or participate in a prerecorded interview session. Appearances are limited to availability and interest of filmmakers. LUNAFEST covers an honorarium fee for filmmakers for their participation in any LUNAFEST event. 

The main driver of success for LUNAFEST events is word of mouth, but there are many ways to reach out to your community. We recommend a combination of the following: 

• Create your own posters, ads, and postcards with the editable PDFs below. They’re easy to customize, and we include a cheat sheet with tips on how to use them. Be sure to choose the correct folder below. We have included assets for Virtual, In Person, and Hybrid (both In Person and Virtual) events.
• Invite your network via email or e-newsletters. 
• Create an event on your organization’s Facebook page and invite your followers. We've included a Facebook Event Page Cover and Facebook Profile Header in the Social Media Kit folder (below).
• Post to your social channels. We have some ideas and suggested posts to get you started in our Social Media Kit (below). You can post about the films, filmmakers, unique features of your event, etc. 
• Need more images 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. 
• Reach out to local media outlets using the Media Alert template (below).  
• Invite local bloggers and influencers to write about the event and attend as guests.

Hosts have had excellent results with fundraising beyond ticket sales alone by offering event sponsorships, silent auctions that run concurrently with their event, and additional donations made during the ticket purchase step.  

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

SPONSORSHIP + DONATIONS: Many of our hosts seek sponsorships to help with their event costs or to raise additional 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.

There is space on the event poster template and on your Eventive ticketing page to highlight your sponsors’ logos.

Films feature strong women, powerful images, and impactful language. Stories reflect the diverse perspectives of the filmmakers and their subjects. We recommend age 13+ for the 2023 Season films.  Hosts may preview the films in advance upon request. Please email lunafest@clifbar.com to request a preview link.

Last season we worked with the Eventive Team to implement many updates and improvements to the Eventive experience. The updates all remain in place for 2023. 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. 

What Is Eventive? Eventive is our preferred vendor for ticketing and streaming! Eventive is an all-in-one ticketing and streaming platform that provides an optimal virtual experience. You will be able to upload sponsor logos and intro and/or closing videos if you wish. Each attendee will receive access to create a simple account with Eventive to view your screening. They will also receive reminder emails to let them know when the screening is available to view. 

Self-Service Ticket Reports: You will have direct access to ticket sales reporting via your own Eventive admin account. You’ll be able to see who has purchased tickets any time you wish!    

Reduced and Simple Fees: We have worked with Eventive to create a simple 5% + $0.99 ticketing fee for all of our events. LUNAFEST will cover the DRM streaming fees associated with your event, as well as the 1% Stripe fee.   

Pass Along Fee Structure: The ticketing fee is passed along to the ticket purchaser, so you do not need to calculate fees into your ticket price.  

Direct Deposit Payout for All: Eventive’s direct deposit payout system (called Revenue Sharing) is available to all of our hosts (U.S. and Canada). You will be able to use this monthly payout system for your events. As noted above, LUNAFEST covers the Stripe fee for this service.  

Direct Support from Eventive Staff: The Eventive Team will meet with you to set up your ticketing/streaming page; send reminder emails to your attendees; upload your organization logo and sponsor logos on your Eventive page; and upload intro/closing videos.  

Real Time Broadcast: This optional feature allows you to screen the event watch-party -style" where attendees tune in at the same time and can interact on Live Chat!   

Attendee Support: Eventive provides support for your attendees via Live Chat and offers numerous ways your audience can watch Eventive Virtual screenings, including via Apple TV, Roku, and Chromecast. Eventive’s audience support is available from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. PST, 7 days a week, for your guests and attendees.   

Include your own videos! Hosts may upload prerecorded welcomes, sponsor videos, etc. as “pre-roll” (video that rolls before the films play) and upload other recorded content such as prerecorded Q & As to add to their virtual screenings.

Eventive offers three formats for screenings: Video on Demand (VOD), Real Time Broadcast (RTB) + VOD, and RTB + VOD + Livestream. 

VOD: The Video on Demand viewing option allows attendees to stream LUNAFEST films any time during a 48-hour viewing window. This is the simplest option for hosts and allows attendees flexibility in viewing the films. The VOD option also allows for hosts to include a prerecorded intro/welcome and/or closing video that can be included in your virtual event. There is a simple 5% + $0.99 ticketing fee, which may be passed along to the ticket purchaser, but there are no other fees! 

RTB + VOD: Think of this as a watch-party-style event! You can set your VOD event to initially play as a Real Time Broadcast in which users tune in at the same time to view the films together. They are not able to rewind, pause, or fast-forward during this Real Time Broadcast. Once the broadcast ends, the recording will transition to standard VOD in which users are able to view the program as recorded content for the remainder of the 48-hour availability window. A Real Time Broadcast includes a Live Chat window alongside the player window and is a great way to create a shared participation experience for your viewers! The live chat will remain active after the screening transitions to VOD, so people who watch after the Real Time Broadcast ends can still interact over chat. (Or if you like, Eventive can turn off the chat after the RTB transitions to VOD.) There is a simple 5% + $0.99 ticketing fee, which may be passed along to the ticket purchaser, but there are no other fees! 

RTB + VOD + Livestream: This option includes the films streaming as a Real Time Broadcast at a designated event time, as well as a livestream section after the films. This is a great option if you want to create a robust “live event” experience with a specific event time and real-time livestream discussion or Q & A after the films. For example, a Real Time Broadcast of the films plus a filmmaker Q & A is a wonderful use of this event. The Eventive Team will help you produce your livestream for a production fee of $250. Livestreams are viewable along with the films on Eventive TV apps that include Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire. After the broadcast and livestream have occurred, viewers are able to view the films and livestream again as recorded content for the remainder of the 48-hour availability window.

How do I submit my sponsor logos? 

Sponsor logos 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 lunafestsupport@eventive.org at least 48 hours prior to your event.

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

You may record your video using your phone, Zoom, etc. and you may add in sponsor videos. Make sure to combine everything into one file before submitting to Eventive. Specs are as follows: 

• Recommended length: We suggest keeping your intro to 3 minutes or less, but you may send a video of up to 10 minutes in length. You may also include a prerecorded interview session or closing discussion. This should be no longer than 20 minutes.

How does ticketing on Eventive work? 

There is o simple ticketing fee of app. 5% + $0.99, which is passed along to ticket purchasers. This is comparable to many other ticketing platforms. We highly recommend using Eventive for ticketing your virtual event to ensure a seamless experience for your attendees. Eventive will send out confirmation emails, reminders, and of course, provide access to view the films on demand. 

How should I price my Virtual Tickets?

We suggest you keep your ticket prices similar to those of a live screening event. Since this is a fundraiser for your nonprofit organization, 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 or more viewers in one home. 

Can donations be made on Eventive?

Yes, your attendees may make donations during the ticket purchase process of pre-set amounts of $5, $10, or $25. They may also make a donation of any custom amount they choose.  For donations, the Eventive ticketing fee portion is waived and only the credit card processing fee of 2.9% of the donation amount will be deducted. 

How will I know how many tickets I have sold? 

As soon as you are set up with Revenue Sharing on Eventive, you will have direct access to ticket sales info in real time, including attendee names and email addresses.

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. The link allows you to add the recipient’s email address and an optional message, then continue with the transaction. The recipient then receives an email and can “accept” the gift to complete the transfer (and create an account if they do not already have an Eventive account).

How do I receive my payout?

• You will be invited to set up a simple Eventive Revenue Sharing account to receive funds directly.
