Film and series premieres, festival screenings, awards nights, red carpets, panels, filmmaker Q&As and watch parties. If it has an audience and a camera, ask us.

How far ahead should we book?

Four to six weeks gives time to build the event page and promote it to WIDU viewers. Shorter timelines are possible; tell us your date and we’ll say what fits.

What do we need on our side?

A stable internet connection at the venue and a camera or video feed. Not sure what you have will work? We’ll check your setup before the day.

What happens to the recording?

By default it stays on WIDU for on-demand viewing. You decide how long, and whether it stays free, members-only or ticketed.
