Event Production Checklist

Screening Provisions

Choose a target audience that you would like to invite to the film screening.

For example, you may decide to invite organizations that share your mission, community activists, student groups, or residents of a certain neighborhood. You might decide on a target audience of moms/parents, medical students, healthcare clinicians or you might choose to invite people of all ages.

Select a date and time for the film screening.

Try to choose a meaningful date when people are most likely to be talking about issues addressed in the film. For example, it would be strategic to host the film screening during Black Maternal Health Week (April), or Black History Month (February) or Women's History Month (March).

Select a venue that will be available on the date and at the time you have chosen.

Popular places to hold film screenings include libraries, high school auditoriums, colleges/universities, non-profit centers, churches, museums, open theaters, and other public meeting spaces. You might also look into hosting the screening at a small, independent movie theater, or at a concert venue. Be sure to contact the venue manager and check if the venue has all the materials you need to host your screening (ex. projector, screen, speakers etc.)

Set-up registration for attendees so you can capture emails and know how many people to extend to attend your screening.

There’s many free RSVP platforms. We mainly use Eventbrite as it provides all of the online registration and ticketing tools to help you with free and paid events.

Create and distribute eflyers/printed a month in advance of the film screening.

Make sure the eflyers/printed are eye-catching and provide key details about the film that will attract individuals who are interested in exploring the issues that you’re addressing through the screening (go to birthingjustice.com/screenings).

Promote your film screening on social networks like Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to spread the word about the event to your online supporters.

In advance of the screening, you can create a blog post with images from the film, a brief review of the movie, and a discussion of why the film is important. You can direct your online audience to your blog post to get them excited about the screening.

Write a press release about the film screening to send to newspapers, radio shows, blogs, and other media outlets.

The more people hear about your event, the more likely they are to come!

Create a schedule for the event that includes a short, spoken introduction to the film and a participatory discussion after the film ends.

Use our discussion guide for panel and audience questions.

Select a speaker who can introduce the film and lead a panel and/or an audience discussion once the film has ended.

Reach out to prominent community leaders, legislators, physicians, doulas, midwives, nurses, birthing moms/people advocates or activists who may be willing to serve as the moderator for the discussion.

Draft a list of questions and concepts that you would like to be a part of the discussion after the film (go to birthingjustice.com).

Work with the discussion leader to decide on the suggested topics for the discussion. After the film, have the discussion leader ask audience members what they thought about the film and encourage audience members to give solutions for resolving the issues addressed in the film. For example, you might ask the audience about their ideas on how to improve the culture of maternal care for Black women.

At the event, make sure different volunteers are assigned different tasks including:

Having a greeter at the Info/Welcome table. 1. Taking photos of the event and posting on social channels. 2. Handing out information about your organization after the discussion is over. 3. Making sure that audience members know how to follow up and connect with you after the film screening. For example, you might ask audience members for their email addresses and add them to your email list so that you can bring them into your community and your organization's Call-To-Action.
