A Tip:
Watch viewing material well in advance of your event, even if you have seen it previously, to be sure it is appropriate for your viewing audience.

Movies:
When you show a film in public, the owners of the film will want to be paid for showing it in this setting.

Showing a movie on The Big Screen Solution in private home settings — including outdoor parties — is typically considered a private, and legal use. But showing a movie in public that has been rented from your local movie rental store may be a copyright violation and may result in substantial legal penalties. Charging or using the movie for financial gain or publicity without permission may also be illegal in most cases.

To be sure that you are compliant with today's movie copyright laws, you should obtain a "public performance license". The cost is generally quite reasonable (starting around $125) but may vary depending on a number of factors, including how new and popular the film is. Contact www.swank.com or www.criterionpicusa.com to arrange for a public performance license.

Personal and Corporate Presentations
Projection of personal and corporate audio-visual presentations is a popular choice for events such as family reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate meetings, seminars and team building events. Large screen projection requires a certain level of quality to be successful. We suggest that you submit the viewing material to The Big Screen Solution well in advance of your event for evaluation.* We want to be sure your event will be a BIG success!
