We can provide you with a copy of the film, as well as with materials and handouts to put on your table. Email leo@themeatrix.com with your request for a DVD or downloading instructions, and please remember the following guidelines whenever you show the film:

The entire film must be shown and credit must be given to Sustainable Table® (www.sustainabletable.org) and Free Range Studios (www.freerangestudios.com), complete with web addresses. The Meatrix may not be incorporated into any other films or multi-media presentations without written consent, but it can be shown in its entirety before or after other presentations.

Get your local theater to show The Meatrix
One of the most effective ways to get word out about The Meatrix is to have it shown in your local movie theater. Your best bet is to check with local, independent movie theaters in your area, but it can't hurt to ask at the larger ones also.

Contact the theater manager and ask if they would show the film or trailer as a public service announcement (PSA) before the main movies. Mention that the film was made by a nonprofit organization.

If the theater first requests a viewing/screening copy, contact us. We'll send you a DVD and information packet that you can leave with the theater manager.

If the theater is interested, find out what viewing format they can use (DVD, beta, mini-DV, etc) - Please email leo@themeatrix.com to let us know what you need and when you need it. Please include your mailing address.

Ask the theater if you can put out postcards and perhaps hang some posters (even if they are not able to show the film).

Don't rule out local film festivals and film events that might be shown in people's homes, coffee shops, or local public places. See if your library has any type of movie night or if they would like to keep a copy on file. Many universities have film viewings on campus.

If you get The Meatrix into a theater, we'll send you a Meatrix coffee mug for your efforts!
