Can
I show The End of Suburbia
publicly?
|
|
Yes,
absolutely! You can show documentary to as
many people, as many times as you wish, as
long as it is not for profit and the DVD
or VHS is an original (not a downloaded or
pirated copy). There are no licensing fees
or screening contracts involved, if the
event is not for profit. You are welcome
to charge a modest admission to cover
costs or fundraise for a non-profit group.
If you do happen to collect a substantial
amount and just can't decide what to do
with it, we suggest donating some to the
Post
Carbon
Institute.
They're doing an admirable job of creating
awareness about oil depletion.

Can
I show the documentary on my local
Community Access TV
channel?
|
|
No,
not yet. We are working to secure
broadcasters in the US and abroad, and any
previous arings on television will affect
our negotiations.
Broadcasters
interested in licensing The End of
Suburbia should contactt us
directly.
Broadcasters
are welcome to use excerpts from the DVD
of up to 2 minutes in length in the
context of an interview, review or news
story. If you would like a BetacamSP EPK,

us.

Can
I upload The End of Suburbia to YouTube or
Google Video, so others can view
it?
|
|
Unfortunately,
no. Our distribution agreements do not
give us the freedom to permit this.
However, we can allow the film to be made
available for viewing via an internal
server at a educational institution, such
as a university, as long as the file
cannot be downloaded and copied onto
users' computers.

Can
I make copies of the documentary for
friends or family?
|
|
We
don't permit the copying of the DVD under
any circumstances. However, you are
welcome to rent or lend your copy. If you
wish to have extra copies to give out, we
offer a discount on multiple
quantities.
If your intention is to create awareness
about peak oil, public screenings are
still themost effective way to reach
people. Screening events also allow you to
network with others in your
community.

My
copy has this weird, white dot on the
screen intermittently. What is
that?
|
|
What
you are seeing is a tear in one of the
vintage film prints that we used. It's
quite likely that the copy we had access
to is the only one in existence, so we
opted to use it, flaws and all. Yes, it's
a tad distracting, but we had no
choice.
