Screening Room Terms
Plain-language terms for filmmakers and theaters using the Indie Circuit Screening Room, run by Page 4 Films LLC.
For Filmmakers
- You own or control the rights to every film you post, including music cleared for public performance, and you can license it for theatrical screenings.
- Your screener stays private: only approved theater accounts can open it, and every opening is logged.
- Your contact details are shared with a theater once you accept its request, not before.
- Pitches must not contain contact details or links beyond the screener and trailer.
- Films that are not features of 40 minutes or more, or that break these terms, can be removed.
- If a listing fee applies, it is refundable within 14 days if no theater has opened your screener.
- A listing's time does not start counting until the room is worth being in: the later of the day the room opens to theaters and the day the 25th theater is verified. Until then your film is live at no cost to the months you bought.
- If the Screening Room ever closes for lack of interest from theaters, every current paid listing is refunded in full.
For Theaters
- Your account is tied to one listed theater and is approved by a person.
- Screeners are for programming your own venue. Do not share links, passwords or files.
- Accounts that share screeners are closed without notice.
- Listing and the Screening Room are free for theaters.
Bookings
- When a request is accepted, the filmmaker and the theater agree the screening directly: dates, terms, delivery, any merch table, and payment.
- Indie Circuit is not a party to that agreement unless it is asked to coordinate the booking.
- After a screening, both sides are asked to confirm how it went. Positive confirmations show on the film and the theater.
Everyone
- Be honest in pitches, requests and reports.
- Report a problem through the request page or the contact form; we answer within one business day.
- These terms may change; the date below shows the latest version.
