For a 1-time benefit screening of Highway to Dhampus, the fees and income split look like this:

 

Highway to Dhampus, LLC receives

 $300 up front

 0% of any profit after the event expenses are met

 

Promoter receives:

 10% of the revenue as part of the event expenses to cover 

miscellaneous expenses or to keep as "payment." (this means, 

create an expense sheet and add 10%)

 

After expenses have been met: 

 50% of the profit goes to the Promoter

 25% to Mind The Gap Worldwide 

(www.mindthegapworldwide.com)

 25% to the agreed upon Charitable Organization of the 

Promoter's choosing (which can be MTGW or your own 

charity) 

 Please note:  if more than one screening is contracted, HTD, LLC 

will equally share in the promoter’s 50% of profits starting with the 

2nd screening.  The charities will still take 50% (half to MTGW 

and half to the charity of your choice.)

 

Expenses include, but may not be limited to:

 cost of the venue  (see ** below)

 shipment of the film to and from the event (with a digital cinema 

print, or DCP, as the preferred method; if DCP is not usable, 

then blu-ray or DVD can be used)

 printing of marketing materials (digital art work files provided by 

HTD)

 advertising (it is best to get earned media: TV appearances, Public Service Announcements, articles in the paper, etc.)

 ticketing

 any other expenses associated with the event

 expenses MUST be capped at $1500, if an exception is 

required, written approval must be obtained from Julie Ahlander 

via email at Julie@highwaytodhampus.com

 

**Venue payment is negotiated by the Promoter and can be one of 

the following scenarios:

 a higher upfront fee and no % of the profit  (increasing up front 

expenses)

 a lower upfront fee and a share of the Promoter's 50%

 no upfront fee at all and a larger share of the Promoter's 50% 

 (we would suggest putting a cap on the amount the theater 

would get if this option is selected.)

 partial or full donation of the venue for the event

 

If you choose this direct option,  you will need to find and book a venue, sign a contract with the theater and with us, and declare a date for the event.  We recommend that your event occur no sooner than 2 months from the signing of the contract and require that it be at least 6 weeks from that signing.
