From
the director:
On
behalf of all of us here at navis
pictures, (aka the
Morlino family), I’d like to thank you for your interest in sharing our
films with your group.
Just
a gentle word about the exciting world of Federal Copyright Law:
It
will probably come as a complete surprise to you to learn (and understandably
so) that possession of our DVD only allows you to watch it in the comfort of
your own home; that’s called “Private Use”, but unfortunately it doesn’t give
you permission to show it in a public setting. So if you’d like to show it to your Parish, Youth Group, Club, Home-school
Group, or some other organization, in any setting outside your own living room,
you’ll need to purchase a Public Screening License from us. But don’t worry – it’s quick and easy,
and can actually turn out to be a great way to raise some money for your
group!
Here’s
how it works:
OK,
so you love this film, and you want to share it with your whole parish (understandable, really…no false modesty here)
So, say you convince your pastor to have a “Parish Family Movie Night” at your
church; for a modest, flat rate fee we’ll send you everything you need –
Posters, postcards, and bulletin blurbs, to help advertise, study guides for
discussion, plus copies of the DVD that you can sell to re-coup the entire cost
of the evening, and even have something left over for your parish. We’ll even send you a special Public
Screening DVD with an introduction by me! Or, if you want to “kick it up a notch” and have the
director himself come to your screening, and do a Q&A afterwards – we can
talk!
I
hope you understand that this is our policy – not just because it’s the law,
but because it reflects the principles of Catholic Justice, as taught by Holy
Mother Church. We are not Warner
Bros., or 20th Century Fox, we are a miniscule, little, Catholic
Production Company with a total of one employee – me! Yes, I want as many people as possible to get to see our films, but I am also trying to support my family with this work, and if enough
good folks like you help us by following these modest requests, I may just be
able to make another movie!
So please send us an email, or call us, and we’ll be happy to take care of
everything.
God
bless you all, and thank you again!
- Jim
