“Virtual screenings for film festivals mean providing more access to those in the community who may not be able to leave home for a variety of reasons, whether that be economic, disability, or a new stay-at-home parent who loves indie film. With this capability, we can rethink the restrictions we put on ourselves and be sure to reach anyone who loves good movies, anywhere.”
Melanie Addington
Executive Director of Tallgrass Film Association
“Eventive helped us reach our national and international audiences so seamlessly through virtual film screenings and conversations that we are not planning on cutting our virtual offerings anytime soon (or ever). We love working with the Eventive team; they provide excellent customer support and are always there to help us and our audiences to troubleshoot when necessary. They add new functions daily to help us customize our virtual event pages for better branding + user experience.”

"BlackStar continues to embrace the hybrid format, in which a majority of our films are available to stream globally during the festival, because it furthers our goal of showcasing genre-defying Black, Brown, and Indigenous cinema in ways that are accessible to all of our community.”
Imran Siddique
Chief Communications Officer, BlackStar
"We have seen virtual provide access to those who have limited schedules, can’t make it out of the house, or prefer accessibility features offered in virtual. We started reviewing our audience surveys and noticed a recurring trend of guests benefiting from the accessibility options. It generates about 20% of our festival revenue, so it is very significant for us.”
Adam Howell
Sr. Director of Strategic Planning, Heartland Film
