"Inviting Purple State of Mind to your hometown makes a great event for gatherings of all kinds: As a conversation starter, as a pitch for civility, as a how-to primer on communicating across the divide, or as pure entertainment. We know, because we made a Purple event happen in Tallahassee and people are still talking about it, especially the people who can't believe that they missed it."

Liz Joyner, The Village Square

Join the growing number of groups that have hosted a Purple State event. Whether you’re a national leadership organization or a chamber of commerce, a church or a synagogue, a small business or a corporation, a college or a seminary, we’ve got a conversation for you.

There are a lot of different ways to do it.

Want to host a screening of Purple State of Mind?

As we've toured with the film we've found time and again that Purple State of Mind brings people together from across the political, religious and artistic spectrum. From house parties to public events, we're eager to launch a conversation in your community.

Here's how:

For small groups showing in homes, we suggest you buy the DVD, invite your friends over, and crank up the popcorn!

For those that would like to move it out of the living room and invite more than a few friends, we have some great options to bring the conversation to your neck of the woods.

For Screenings of less than 100 people we offer a $150 screening fee.

For Screenings of over 100 people we offer a $300 screening fee.

If you would like to bring Craig and John as speakers, we offer a fee of $3,000 each (plus travel and accomodations).

To get the ball rolling on your Purple State of Mind Screening please contact John.

As part of the Purple State experience we also suggest you download and use our Purple State Study Guide which follows along with the DVD offering further insight into the film and ways in which to engage in the Purple Conversation.

John and Craig are also available for seminars, sessions and speaking engagements on their areas of expertise.

John: Journalism, Fiction Writing, Global Politics
Craig: Film, Television, Pop Culture, Theology

To secure a screener copy on DVD or to invite Craig and John to your community, please contact us!
