Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Where can I buy the DVD?

A: The DVD has not yet been released.  Plans are to release the DVD in mid-2010 from Vision Video.

Q: Will "sponsoring" the movie cost my congregation any money?

A:  No.  Local sponsorship simply involves promoting the film screening in your congregation and local area.  You will receive a promotional kit including posters and suggestions.  Also, you can use the event as a special experience for your congregation and groups.  Some congregations on the outskirts of premiere areas are organizing a congregational bus trip to see the movie as a group, for instance.  Individuals purchase their own movie ticket and refreshments at normal local prices.

Q: Can we have the director or one of the stars speak at our church?

A: Possibly, depending on scheduling.  Churches can offer to host one of the actors during a premiere (usually over a weekend) by paying transportation and lodging costs and a speakers fee. 

Q: If the initial Premiere was in November 2009, why can't we get the movie in our area right away?

A: This has actually been dictated by the theatres themselves, which are booked far in advance.  In addition to the advance notice for booking, we need at least six weeks from the date of a contractual booking to properly promote a screening.

Q: Why are initial screenings only in major metro areas?

A: It is both costly and time-consuming to schedule a "non-Hollywood" studio film in a local theatre. Many megaplexes are locked into a corporate "studio blockbuster" plan and will not screen independent films.  It is very important for national and international distribution that these initial screenings are a financial success.  This will allow distribution partners to see the impact and interest in the film, and will also allow us to produce more films of this type down the road. However, we are currently successfully booking the movie into some "non-metro"regions where we think it will be successful.

Q:  I live in a medium-sized town with a local cinema that screens independent films.  Can we get Wesley to come here?

A.  Probably!  Please fill out the form on this page and email us regarding your interest.  In most towns, if several churches will promote the film we will be able arrange a screening.

Q: Why can't we just show the film in our church fellowship hall?

A: Once the DVD is released, there will be a license to allow local churches to screen the movie.  However, during the theatrical run experience shows that this would seriously undermine theatre attendance in that area.

Q:  There's no digital theatre in our area that will show an independent film.  We have a really excellent projector and large screen in our church's fellowhip hall.  Can we arrange to host a special area screening in our church?

A: We may make special arrangements of this sort in specific areas where there is not an appropriate theatrical venue.  Please contact us to explain the local situation.

Q: Will a soundtrack CD be available?

A: Yes, definitely! The amazing original soundtrack, which director John Jackman describes as "90 minutes of totally new classical music that no one has heard before" is now available in our webstore at http://www.wesleythemovie.com/shop/
