How it works

Running a school movie night in Canning, step by step

Pick the venue and date. Check with your school if it is on the school oval, or with the City of Canning if it is a council park or reserve.
Choose the film and the licence. The film licence is arranged by the organiser through Roadshow or Amalgamated Movies, and the fee varies by film, up to about $2,000, so allow 2 to 3 weeks. Under our Fully Managed service we arrange it as your agent, with the fee included up to $1,000 per film.
Set your ticket price and sell tickets through an online ticketing platform or at the school.
Book the screen. Tell us the date, venue and expected crowd. We confirm within 24 hours and recommend the right size.
On the night, we deliver, set up and run the screening, then pack down. You run the canteen and the raffle.
