We feel honored to support anyone who feels inspired to share Rescued Hearts.
We have had organizations host events with extensive experience, and we have also had individuals who simply felt passionate about the film and had never put together an event before.
This is why we provide helpful resources such as a screening guide and promotional toolkits to support you in creating a meaningful experience for your community.
This film spreads through people who feel called to share more hope and healing in the world, and we are deeply grateful for every heart that helps carry it forward.
A screening license gives you permission to host an in-person screening of the film for your community.
Your license 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 along the way
Rescued Hearts is an independently produced film, created over several years with a small team and a deep commitment to sharing this story with the world.
Screening fees are simply the way independent films like ours are able to sustain community screenings while covering the many ongoing costs involved in distributing a film. This includes things like subtitle translations, hosting platforms, marketing support, screening toolkits, and the time and resources required to support hosts around the world.
Many people are surprised to learn that distribution often represents nearly half of a film’s total budget. For independent filmmakers, screening licenses help make it possible to continue sharing the film in communities long after it has been completed.
Our screening fees are also in line with typical community licensing rates for independent documentaries.
Most hosts design their events so the licensing fee is covered through ticket sales. In many cases, hosts also partner with local sponsors or organizations, which allows the event to not only cover expenses but also raise funds for a cause.
For us, the goal of these screenings is not just to show a film, but to help create experiences that spark connection, conversation, and a help spread more hope and healing into the world.
The license fee is based on the size of your event. Ticket count includes all paid and complimentary tickets issued.
Licensing fees also vary depending on the country where the screening is taking place and the size of the audience. If you are unsure which tier applies to your country, please reach out and we are happy to guide you.

We recommend renting a local theater or event space whenever possible. These venues often have built in seating, accessible parking, and professional audio and visual setups, which can make the screening process much smoother and create a high quality experience for your guests.

We also encourage hosts to reach out to local venues to ask about discounted rates, or to see if they would be willing to donate their space as a sponsor of the 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 are hosting at a less traditional venue, just be sure to confirm whether audio and visual equipment is included, or if you will need to rent a projector, screen, or sound system from a local vendor.
We are honored to attend select events in person when scheduling and alignment allow. We are deeply passionate about supporting hosts and love bringing our insights and energy to help create the most meaningful experience possible.
Costs typically include travel expenses and an appearance fee. If this is something you are dreaming about, we would love to hear from you.
Reach out anytime at info@livewildfilms.com to start the conversation.
We love connecting with audiences and, whenever possible, we are happy to support screenings with a virtual Q&A. That said, Rescued Hearts is being distributed by a very small team and we are often traveling for in-person screenings while also managing events around the world. Because of this, we cannot guarantee availability for every event, especially on weekends.
If a Q&A is important for your screening, please reach out and we will review our schedule to see what may be possible. In some cases, if we are not available on the day of the event (especially if it's on a weekend), we may be able to arrange a separate virtual conversation with your group later in the week.
If a Q&A is possible, a fee will apply and varies depending on the event and availability. Please reach out and we can start the conversation.
Yes! Thanks to a generous donation, we are now able to offer subtitles in the following languages, allowing this experience to reach more hearts around the world:
Spanish
French
German
Italian
Dutch
Arabic
Hebrew
We plan to continue adding more languages in the coming months.
Sometimes, yes. Most community venues such as libraries, wellness centers, universities, and event spaces can easily play the film from a laptop using an HDMI connection to a projector or screen. This works well when playing the film through the Kinema platform, which is how we typically provide access.
Traditional movie theaters, however, often require a special file format called a DCP (Digital Cinema Package). This is the standard format used for professional theatrical projection.
If your venue requires a DCP, we can provide one for an additional fee.
If you are unsure what your venue needs, we recommend checking with the venue’s technical team in advance. And if you have any questions along the way, feel free to reach out. We are always happy to help guide you.
Rescued Hearts carries no official rating, but it does contain sensitive themes within the healing journeys shared. These topics may not be suitable for younger viewers.
To be more specific, Rescued Hearts contains brief, non-graphic references to sensitive themes such as child sexual abuse and suicidal ideation within personal healing stories. While many families have felt comfortable attending together, we encourage parents to decide what feels right for their child.
Krisanna’s nephews, who are 10 and 12, watched the film at a screening and loved it, so it really comes down to the maturity of the child.
We’re not offering full previews of Rescued Hearts prior to events. This approach helps protect both the artistic and emotional impact of the film, and it also reflects the way most of our hosts experience it with their community for the first time.
If previewing the film in advance is important to your planning process, we recommend subscribing on our website so you can be notified about our next worldwide virtual event. Details are still TBD, but that will be the next opportunity to view the film virtually.
The short answer is no. Rescued Hearts is being shared through a grassroots, community-driven distribution model. Because we are filmmakers interested in sharing our film with the world, we do not manage where events are located and their proximity to each other.
Our goal is to make the film as accessible as possible, and we do not believe it is possible to oversaturate an area through individual community screenings.
In fact, we have seen that multiple screenings within a region often increase awareness, strengthen community engagement, and support greater overall attendance and impact. Each host brings their own unique audience, relationships, and intention to the experience.
We encourage hosts to focus on creating a meaningful, well-promoted event for their own community. Our team is here to support each screening equally, while honoring the broader vision of helping Rescued Hearts reach as many hearts as possible around the world.
