Q)
What types
of events could "BELLY" screen at?
A)
A "BELLY screening can be combined with an dance workshop and
show, Hafla, or Festival, or can be the center point of the
event (especially in a large city) with a dance event created
around it. Or it could be an intimate screening at dance studio
or home.
Q) What types
of venues would work for a screening?
A)
-Local
Movie theaters available for rent
-Theaters and conference rooms at Universities and collages
-most
theatrical theaters
-any
large room or space can be set up with chairs, a projector,
screen, and speakers.
-some
bars and restaurants have large screen TV's or other ways of
projecting and showing sporting events, this would also work
great to do a screening of "BELLY"
-A
home or dance studio
-other
possibilities we haven't thought of yet.

Q)
What it takes to sponsor a "BELLY Screening?
A) Enthusiasm and
creative thinking! and- An event or venue, and the willingness
and ability to promote the event and gather an audience. What
Full Tilt Boogie (Cecilia & Chad Rinn) needs is to cover travel
expenses, and have an opportunity to sell the "BELLY" DVD. The
details on how we work that out is between us and the interested
party.
Q) What if the
regular tour wont work for us?
A) Full Tilt Boogie has
decided to offer a Satellite tour for “BELLY” to expand on the
amount of “BELLY” screenings and better share “BELLY” with more
viewers. The Satellite tour is only applicable if:
1) The dance/viewing
community is to small to support a large enough screening to
bring Cecilia & Chad (the filmmakers) to present the film.
2) For some other reason
Cecilia & Chad can’t make it to the screenings, because of
scheduling conflicts, ext.
3) If there is demand for a
screening out of the US, where travel would not be cost or time
effective. (Cecilia & Chad are happy to travel to other
countries outside of the US, if that is possible)

Misc. notes about the "BELLY" tour
* There is only a handful of feature
documentaries about belly-dancing available. What Makes
"BELLY" special is that it tells the personal story of BEING a
belly dancer. Also the film was produced and funded by
belly dancing and bellydancers, and the director (the voice of
the film) is that of a veteran bellydancer. Also "BELLY" helps
explain to people that know little about bellydance what the art
form is really about, the joy, magic, and inspiration it brings
the women who dance.
* There is a good opportunity for the "BELLY"
sponsor to make a profit from being part of the "BELLY tour.
Plus it will be lots of fun and is a good cause.
*
If we can drive to an event, another way to
help cover expenses is to bring and vend
StarBelly Creations
costumes.
* A "BELLY" screening could be a great school
event, sponsored by the college or university. The film is about
more then belly dancing, it is about being a woman.
Women's centers at local schools may be very interested because
"BELLY" covers topics of body image,
spirituality and sisterhood, female empowerment, and recovering
from illness.
* Cecilia is also available for teaching
workshops,
doing a live performance, or doing a Q&A about being a female
director and producer (Cecilia, along with directing the film,
produced it through creative venues-with monies raised from
belly dance performances, and the sale of her self designed and
handmade bellydance costumes) |
