Can you explain in more detail your pricing method for institutions?
MEF is aware that many schools and organizations are on tight budgets and have to come up with creative solutions to purchase our films. For that, we say THANK YOU for supporting us! MEF survives primarily on institutional film sales, and sales from our films allow us to continue to produce cutting-edge films.
Please keep in mind that our pricing reflects extensive market research for the university, high school, nonprofit, and public library markets for AV materials. The MEF Platform provides options such as 14 day, 4-month, and 1-year streaming subscriptions, which are often less expensive than a DVD or DSL purchase and may fit better into your budget. Many of our streaming and DVD licenses include non-theatrical, educational screening rights, so you may hold campus screenings without an additional charge. We also offer discounts off the list price for community colleges, high schools, nonprofits/NGOs, individual educators/teachers, churches & religious organizations, and individuals looking to purchase our films for home-use. Once you’ve created and/or logged into your institutional account, please see these special discounts in the Licensing Options on any film page.
Still have questions? Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll be more than happy to assist.
