FAQs

Why is there a cost to screen the film publicly?

When Defending the Dark is screened in any group setting, we charge a Public Performance License fee. Hundreds of hours of hard work were poured into the documentary, and the license fee is one of the few opportunities I have to recoup those costs. 

Do you offer any discounts or rate exceptions?

Our license fee is bridges the gap between a standard industry rate and something that is still affordable to the public. We are willing to negotiate in exceptional circumstances, however, so please contact us with the details of your event and budget if you are concerned about the cost.

Do the same rates apply if I’m purchasing the film on behalf of a library or educational institution?

If you represent a school, public library, college/university or school board and are interested in acquiring a copy of Defending the Dark for educational purposes or to be added to a catalogue, please contact us directly, as separate rates apply in each circumstance.
