Hold a “History Harvest”

If your location has ties to the 100th/442nd story, consider adding a pre-screening event where the public shares memorabilia in an Antiques Roadshow–style showcase.

Event Guidelines

Key considerations for planning a 100TH Film Screening and History Harvest event:

    • Target at least 200 viewers. Most schools, community rooms and other gathering spaces accommodate 200-600 seats.
    • Presenters control their own guest list. An RSVP system like Eventbrite.com is suggested to not exceed room capacity limits.
    • Projection & Sound by Presenter. Most schools, community centers have built-in projection equipment. Outdoor inflatable projection equipment and screens are also amazingly affordable, typically a few hundred dollars per event. Mics and PA are also helpful, especially for the discussion segment.
    • AV Connections. We hand-carry in the film on jump drive with laptop computer. Ports include USB and HDMI options.
    • Apply to Present the film by viewing our Screening Calendar to find dates/times that don’t conflict with other screenings, then complete the form below.
