As a way to broaden the selection of high quality story-driven documentaries available on ScreeningHQ, we’ve partnered with New Day Films. The New Day Films collection uncovers and exposes some of the most pressing issues facing our nation and the world and offers leaders and advocates powerful resources for communicating and catalyzing change. “Having a one-stop shop will make it so much easier for community groups to access the film and supporting materials for a rocking good screening and discussion,” says New Day filmmaker Greta Schiller, whose film No Dinosaurs in Heaven is one of 18 inaugural films in the collection. “I am thrilled to be a part of Working Films’ ScreeningHQ because it places my film on creationism and the science classroom within a body of work that looks at education issues,” Schiller says. ScreeningHQ offers one place to order the film, set up your screening, access flyers, posters and guides, and get the word out.
