Welcome to your step-by-step guide to “Captain” a screening of Girl Rising.

10×10 has partnered with Theatrical On Demand^SM film distribution service, Gathr Films, to allow individuals like you the opportunity to book Girl Rising into movie theaters across the country. But it will only come to your community if enough people reserve tickets to see it. After you submit a request on Gathr, you’ll receive your own personal screening webpage where all of your friends can easily reserve tickets to the film. Let’s GET STARTED!

1. Set up your screening on Gathr

• Sign-up here to host your Girl Rising screening
• Receive a personalized screening webpage to share with all your friends,
  e.g. http://gathr.us/screening/719
  
• Check out our Gathr FAQ if you need any additional help.
  Note: It can take anywhere from 24 hours to 2 weeks to receive the link. Once you receive it, you and others can begin reserving tickets. After enough tickets are reserved, the screening “tips”, and everyone’s credit cards are charged. If it doesn’t “tip” by the deadline, then nobody is charged.
