Watch This Year’s Festival on Your TV At Home!
|
The Yountville International Short Film Festival is powered by Qudio:
Once you purchase your pass or individual ticket to one of our blocks of films, we want you to have the best viewing experience and thought we could offer a few tips to help out. First off, we recommend using the most up to date versions of Chrome or Firefox Browsers on your computer, tablet or smart phone. We have also tested the feed on Safari and a few others and it works great. Please keep in mind that one you have your ticket, pass or redemption code (if you’ve been given one by the festival) you’ll need to wait until the screening begins to start the show – we will be running a 15 min countdown prior to each event so you know when things will start. If you haven’t shared this experience with friends or family, we will be live across the US so be sure to let everyone know that festival pass/tickets are still available here: https://qudio.com/organization/yisff |
Can we watch on our TV at home?Absolutely and here are are a couple things to consider when viewing on a TV:
|
What if all I have is a Roku device?Well for Mac users there is an Apple app that allows the ability to cast to your Roku. It works from most IOS devices, just search for and download iWebTV.
Install the app on phone, then turn on your Roku and search for the app on Roku (iWebTV) and add it to your home screen. Open the app on your tv and your phone. The two will guide through a quick set up to connect them. To watch the event, simply put the screening link into the browser section of iWebTV (on your phone) and then click go. It will pop up and ask where you want to view it.. be sure to choose the name you gave on the tv set up and it will then cast beautifully. If you don’t have an Apple device you can reference some of the apps in this article: https://support.roku.com/article/208754928-how-do-i-use-screen-mirroring-with-my-android-or-windows-device-Some other fun ideas for this year’s festival….. |
How can we share this with friends and family?
Whether you live alone or with others you can roll out the red carpet and host a watch party from the comfort of your own home.
Live with housemates or family? Get your ticket from Qudio and the YISFF and gather your housemates for a glitzy Hollywood themed party or pop some popcorn, open some Napa Valley wine then watch some films and discuss. Want to invite friends to watch while socially distancing? A zoom party is perfect for you! Invite friends to join a zoom call that you set up, make sure that everyone has a ticket and once everyone is on the call with the block cued up, hit play at the same time and enjoy some films. During each program you can use the CHAT room that will be open during each program or chat via Zoom. However you choose to watch make sure that for any gathering you have you follow rules and regulations for your area! Oh, and also take plenty of pictures and send them to contact@yisff.com with the subject “Watch Party” or post them to social media using the hashtag: #YISFF |
Did someone say Chat room? |
What if we miss a block of short films? |
|
We did indeed, during each individual screening block, a chat window will be available if you have a comment or want to ask a question. If you watch full screen, the chat room will minimize - but you can also login from your phone or tablet device if you want to chat along.
What if I have a question not listed here? Feel free to drop us a note HERE or send a direct email to contact@YISFF.com and someone from the festival will get back to you. |
Not a problem at all. Each evening (a few hours after the screening block), the entire block is going to be available on demand. So all of Friday's films will be available on Saturday, Saturday's films can be accessed anytime on Sunday and every film block will be available on Monday.
MONDAY? Yes, every film block that played over the weekend will be available on Monday until midnight, so there really is no reason to miss anything at all. |
