Theaters

The most natural form of viewing any film is in a theatre, although the road to the theatre is not often the cheapest method. We suggest submitting your film into several film fests in order to view it on the silver screen. But if you are certain that you want to rent a theatre for only your film, to show your friends, family and those who doubted your ambition, we have compiled a list of theatres that allow a filmmaker to reserve a screening. One definite note is that there is typically no standard fee. It's always best to make a connection with an employee of the theatre. Most smaller venues allow you to haggle them to a modest price and are typically reasonable depending on your audience size. The college theatres are biased towards alumni but are typically free of charge.
