WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO HOST A SCREENING?Anyone that is interested in sharing about the miracles, mystery, and science of healing with horses including nonprofit organizations, community groups, schools, government agencies, and businesses.
-
WHAT IS A SCREENING LICENSE?A screening license is required to host a screening or show a film to a larger audience and it includes: - Access to the film during a 24-hour screening period - A license to host an in-person screening for your community - Permission to advertise your screening, charge for admission, or accept donations - Advertising materials, including standard and customizable graphics - Support from the Rescued Hearts Team every step of the way
-
WHY DO WE CHARGE SCREENING FEES?As independent filmmakers, we pour our hearts, time, and resources into creating stories that spread love, hope, and healing. Screening fees help cover the growing costs of distributing the film and allow us to build a sustainable path forward—so we can continue making films that inspire and uplift. Thank you for helping us share these stories with the world.
-
HOW MUCH DOES A SCREENING LICENSE COST?The license fee is based on the size of your event: Up to 50 attendees = $500 USD Up to 100 attendees = $1,000 USD Up to 200 attendees = $1,750 USD Up to 300 attendees = $2,500 USD How you cover the cost: Many hosts get creative—partnering with local sponsors who contribute by covering expenses, offering services, or donating venue space. If your group size is larger than 300, or if cost is a barrier, please let us know in the form. Our team is happy to explore options with you and will follow up directly.
-
WHAT TYPE OF VENUES CAN SCREENINGS TAKE PLACE IN?We recommend renting a local theater or event space whenever possible. These venues often have built-in seating, accessible parking, and professional audio/visual setups — which makes the screening process smoother and creates a high-quality experience for your guests. We also recommend reaching out to local venues to ask about discounted rates—or to see if they’d be willing to donate their space as a sponsor of your event. Great venue options include: Independent or boutique theaters University auditoriums Arts, community centers or public libraries Conference rooms or presentation spaces at wellness facilities or retreat centers If you're hosting at a less traditional venue, be sure to confirm whether A/V is included or if you’ll need to rent a projector, screen, or sound system from a local vendor.
-
IS IT POSSIBLE TO BRING THE FILMMAKERS TO MY EVENT?Dana and Krisanna are honored to attend select events in person when scheduling and logistics allow. They’re available for engaging live Q&A conversations and heartfelt presentations. Costs include travel expenses and an appearance fee, which varies depending on the details of your event. Feel free to reach out to us at info@livewildfilms.com if this is something you’re dreaming about—we’re happy to start the conversation.
-
CAN THE FILMMAKERS JOIN MY EVENT VIRTUALLY?Yes! For an additional fee, the producer and/or director can join your event virtually—whether via Zoom or another platform—for a live Q&A session following the film. The fee varies depending on the details of your event and is subject to availability.
-
ARE SUBTITLES AVAILABLE FOR SCREENINGS?Yes! English subtitles are available for Part 1 of the film and can be included upon request to support accessibility at in-person screenings. Foreign language subtitles are not yet available—but it's something we deeply care about. We're actively seeking funding and volunteer support to help translate Rescued Hearts into multiple languages so this story can reach hearts around the world.
-
DOES THE VENUE TYPE AFFECT THE COST OF HOSTING A SCREENING?The venue you choose won’t impact the licensing fee directly—our fee is based on the size of your audience, not the location. However, certain venues, such as movie theaters, may require a specific file format like a DCP (Digital Cinema Package), which may require an additional fee to provide. We ask for your venue details upfront so we can provide the correct file type based on how and where the film will be shown.
-
WHAT IS THE FILM RATED?We've rated the film PG-13, as it touches on themes of trauma within the healing journeys shared, which may not be suitable for younger audiences. We encourage parents and guardians to use discretion and consider watching the film first to decide what feels appropriate for their family.
-
CAN I WATCH THE FILM BEFORE HOSTING AN EVENT?We’re currently not offering full previews of Rescued Hearts prior to events — even once they are confirmed. Because the film is still unreleased and actively screening at festivals, we are being very intentional about when and how it's shared. It’s standard industry practice for filmmakers to limit access to the full film during this early release phase, in order to protect the integrity of the project and preserve the impact of the communal viewing experience. To support hosts in feeling into the energy and purpose of the project, we’ve created a 20-minute sneak preview available to view anytime on the main page of our website. This gives you a sense of the film’s tone, message, and emotional impact while honoring our commitment to steward the full film carefully. We do plan to release the full film for a limited window during a virtual screening in November 2025. If previewing the film in advance is important to your planning process, we recommend scheduling your event for sometime in 2026, after the virtual release. We’re so grateful for your interest in sharing Rescued Hearts and look forward to supporting you in creating a powerful, heart-opening experience for your community.

Hosting a screening of Rescued Hearts can open hearts, raise funds, and bring communities together — just like it did for Colleen:
"I was so moved, and people came up to me afterwards who were extremely moved. There was not a dry eye in the place!!
A friend of mine, who months earlier asked me to explain what EFL (Equine Facilitated Learning) was. I gave her the definition of this work that I do with horses. I could tell she still didn’t understand it. After the film she came up to me with tears in her eyes and said, 'I get it now.'
One very upper level and well known jumper trainer (Patrick), said to me, 'every horse person needs to see this film.'
The response was extremely positive! I could hardly get out of the theater!
We raised $7000 benefitting a local horse rescue - and that was AFTER all of the expenses thanks to several local sponsors.
This event helped us bring awareness to what I do as an EFL practitioner, and to horse and donkey rescues that need the support."
