Make it personal without making it generic
Build the screening or making session around one recipient-chosen film, scene, memory, or access need, with approval before anything is shared.
Presentation
Give three contact-sheet cards labeled soft window, practical glow, and shaped shadow, with the recipient's selected frame on top.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Rehearse sightlines, glare, sound, seating, cables, and exits in the real room before inviting anyone or adding equipment.
- Skill
- The facilitator should understand lawful media access, simple production continuity, file handling, and when captioning, description, or projection needs specialist support.
- Maintenance
- Keep editable source notes, captions, cue sheets, and filenames so the recipient can correct, reuse, or delete the result later.
- Accessibility
- Confirm captions, audio description, readable controls, lighting, seating, sensory breaks, content notes, and participation without discussion.
- Sustainability
- Use lawful access, existing screens and lamps, reusable set materials, and borrowed equipment before considering a purchase.
- Timing
- Confirm runtime, rights, setup, access features, travel, guest availability, and a definite finish before announcing the event.
