Frequently asked questions
Is the screening really free for universities, colleges, film clubs, and organizations?
Yes, 100% free. There is no licensing fee, no ticket charge, and no hidden cost to your institution or organization. We only want the film to be seen and discussed.
What exactly do you provide for a campus or community screening?
- Screening file in the format you need (DCP, MOV, ProRes, MP4)
- Public Performance Rights for your event
- Digital posters, social-media kit, and press photos
- Discussion guide and study materials
- Live or pre-recorded Q&A with director Raj Amit Kumar
- Optional short introduction video by the director
Can the screening be in-person, online, or both?
Yes to all. Most universities now prefer in-person or hybrid events, but we support whatever works for you.
How many people can attend?
As many as your venue or Zoom allows — 15 or 1,500, it makes no difference to us.
Do you help with promotion on campus?
Absolutely. We send ready-to-use posters, Instagram/Facebook graphics, email text for student listservs, and a short trailer edited specifically for campus promotion.
Is this film suitable/appropriate for students?
It deals maturely with themes of immigration, child neglect, and survival.
Why are you offering free screenings instead of a normal theatrical or streaming release?
Commercial studios and platforms rarely take risks on quiet, stereotype-breaking social-issue films. After Raj Amit Kumar’s first film UNFREEDOM was banned in India and still found its audience through grassroots support, we decided to build our own distribution path — one screen, one campus, one community at a time. Universities and passionate organizations are the heart of that path.
How does PlayStudios survive if everything is free?
Separate from the free screening program, we have a parallel “Gift-a-Screening / Sponsor-a-Screening” initiative where individuals and donors cover viewing links for entire campuses or communities. Those contributions fund our not-for-profit operations and goes into developing our next guerrilla feature. We also seek Audiences to Buy tickets for other and donations so that we can function as an organisation.
Can my university or organization become an official partner?
Yes! We love adding partner logos to the film’s website and end credits (with your permission). Many immigration-rights groups, South-Asian student associations, and film departments already do this. Please reach out to us if that is your interest.
