SUBMISSIONS
SCHEDULING
Rentals are subject to availability, and the schedule is often dependent on regularly
scheduled movies and studio obligations. Rentals are not confirmed until a signed letter of agreement and a
negotiated deposit has been received by The Independent Picture House. PAYMENT IN FULL (based on
Rental Rates) IS DUE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE EVENT AND IS NON-REFUNDABLE WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE EVENT DATE.
All exhibition media must be delivered to The Independent Picture House at least (1) one week in
advance of your rental.
FOOD
Outside food and/or drinks are not allowed unless previously approved by The Independent Picture
House executive director. The concession stand will be open and staffed during events on an as needed basis.
TICKETING
Ticketing can be handled by the renter or The Independent Picture House.
• The number of tickets sold (including any comp. tickets) cannot exceed the auditorium capacity.
• If tickets are sold by the renter, The Independent Picture House cannot sell any portion of tickets
through the box office.
• If tickets are sold to the event, the terms of the rental (See Rental Rates below) default to negotiated
auditorium rental vs. a 40/60 split of box office revenue. The Independent Picture House receiving 40%
of the total box office collected if above the initial quoted rental rate.
• The Independent Picture House can provide in-person and online ticketing for the rental. If tickets are
sold through The Independent Picture House’s box office, there will be a 15% charge on the total gross
ticket sales to cover ticketing processing fees charged by our system providers. Box office reporting and
proceeds will be processed within 7 days upon completion of the event.
TECH TESTS
The Independent Picture House staff can meet ONCE with renters for a technical test; all
additional meetings will require a $25 per hour fee, with a one-hour minimum fee to be charged. Any meetings

MARKETING
Promotion and event marketing is wholly the responsibility of the renter. When there is a
share in the ticket sales or other agreement made, promotion of your event may be included on The

Auditorium rentals can be purchased in increments of 2, 3 or 4 hour blocks. Additional time over 4 hours, as
