Production Pricing
CITVN is a nonprofit coop managed by a Catholic Worker Movement community of volunteers
We offer nonprofits our Services
4K cinematic video production
Global live stream events management
If the project is a CITVN COOP production, we own the content and sell underwriter banners.
If you own the content, our average project donation ranges from $500 - $2,175 for turnkey pre-production, production and post-production services. If you have used up all 184 hours of our volunteer time within a month, plus CITVN Coop fixed costs and equipment depreciation, your project has cost us $11.82 per hour to produce.
Some might think that's a steal, when compared to similar 2021 broadcast quality live stream commercial rates in Dayton Ohio. Some have said we should not give away our services because people will say it has no value. We challenge anyone to test that assumption.

You get the undivided attention of a dedicated broadcast media production company for a month. We suggest, at a minimum, that you cover our very low fixed costs prior to each phase of production (see below) plus a final donation of $360 to fund an indigent bed in a local sober house for a month. You might consider donating a Dayton Ohio Living Wage, which is $13.05 per hour for a single adult. You decide what our labor is worth and make a donation.
If you are poor too, we may donate our time, talents and treasure to help support you.
100% of CITVN net operating income supports homeless people in recovery from addictions. We want all Dayton Arcade stakeholders to succeed.
