Sign Up to Host a Screening During Our Imminent West Coast Tour
We've learned that the absolute best way to get the word out about the YERT film and all of the amazing stories IN the film is to meet our audiences. In person! So we're hitting the road again for a big West Coast Tour in late February and all of March (with a few screenings on the trip out and back). We don't have our schedule locked yet, so now's the time to entice us, encourage us, and help us visit you wherever you are! Here's what we need...
- Screening hosts. We'll screen anywhere: house parties, theaters, community centers-- we just need you to help organize the events. We can even set up a our own mini-theater with supplies we'll bring along.
- Places to stay. We'll have bedding supplies. We just need a place to put them down.
- People to film. We would love to share a few new stories about what's happening across America.
The tour will be funded by donations, DVD sales, and lots of love. Screening fees for events that we visit on tour are requested but not mandatory. Check out our rough itinerary (totally subject to change) and Google Map Route, then sign up to host a screening here. Be sure to note that you want an "on tour" screening!
YERT Film DVD Sales Going Strong
We've been delighted by the number of people who have purchased YERT DVD's during the last two months. So much enthusiastic feedback, too! You can order yours at our online store. Share them with friends. Give them as gifts. Help us wake up this country and get on a sustainable path. (Bulk pricing is now available - contact mark@yert.com for details).
We hope you had a nourishing and delicious holiday season, filled with rich, close community encounters. Did you watch our film with family? How did it go? Tell us about it on Facebook. Until next time...
Cheers,
Mark, Ben, and Julie

"This well-produced overview of important environmental issues and sampler of creative responses is optimistic without being pollyanna. We loved it. Smiles amid the serious stuff and the inspiring innovators. A chance to meet some of our heros and watch young people learn lots. We hope to follow in their footsteps and bring Peak Moment TV viewers longer chats with many of YERTs interviewees. With five film festival awards (and counting), YERT is an inspiring one-movie environmental film festival for EveryTown. "
