Virtual Events

Organize a Virtual Screening 

Hearts of Glass has screened at prestigious film festivals, national conferences and in communities across the nation. At live events, the award-winning documentary engaged, inspired and delighted audiences. This programming helped promote disability employment and community inclusion as well as innovative approaches to sustainable food production and social entrepreneurship.

The recent health crisis presented opportunities to explore and amplify virtual connections. The results have been amazing — increased accessibility and participation, greater engagement, and improved sustainability. As a 1% for the Planet business member, JenTen Productions recognizes that reducing travel-related emissions is one way to support environmental solutions with everyday actions.

We have designed a simple solution that includes access to the full film for a predetermined window of time via a customized web page, and a live discussion that allows for viewer interaction with the filmmaker and other panelists.

How It Works

 

  • Receive your own private webpage to share the film exclusively with your students, colleagues, clients or other stakeholders.
  • Stream the film all together as a group or let people view on their own schedule — over a day, a weekend, or a week.
  • Engage in a live discussion that allows for audience interaction with the filmmaker and Vertical Harvest employees via your favorite platform (e.g., Zoom).

“It opened doors for people to engage in thoughtful discussion about Vertical Harvest’s innovation and associated policy issues.“
