[Thursday] Fwd: NEWSM Contact form

[Ernie]

The Shore Line Trolley Museum in East Haven,CT also gets a lot of its annual operating budget from leasing artifacts to be used as movie props.
As Michael says the contract/s are in depth to protect the artifact/s and the museum, to include insurance and length of lease specifying exactly when it will be picked up and returned and by whom.  Also since some items are full size trolley or rapid transit (subway) cars there is a whole additional set of documents just for transportation. 
I can get additional information if need be.

 Borrow? Not a chance. They
 are a for profit organization so they can share some of the
 profits with the NEWSM.
 The RI Computer Museum
 gets a significant part of their funding from movie prop
 rentals. You should contact Dan Bergman dan at ricomputermuseum.org
 to see how the process should work. You could make a
 contract based on what the RICM uses. You also need to make
 sure that they have insurance and are responsible for
 packing and shipping both directions.

 be useful in producing the film noted below.Ken---------- Original Message ----------

 Hi my name is Haley Pehrson, I\'m
 currently working with the art department for a feature film
 about Nikola Tesla https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5259822/.
 We came across your collection and were hoping to see if
 there was a way for us to collaborate and use some of the
 models you have in your museum as props in this film. If
 this is something you would be interested in or if you can
 see any other way for us to collaborate you can contact me
 at the email provided or contact our art department head
 Carl Sprague at carlsprague at gmail.com.
 We look forward to hearing back from you. Haley Elise
