Is there a repository for "Turn Off Your Mobile Phones" DCPs? I need one (advert free) suitable for a UK audience as we've lost ours in a clear-out.

I've searched YouTube, and checked out the links in Jo Osborne's post from 2015, but nothing quite works for us. Happy to DCP-o-matic a suitable video.

Thanks!

I pulled this M&M's one off YouTube in 1080p and made a DCP. You would never know it's not something we received as a DCP.

We will usually find a few among the trailers that we download, usually tied to current movies. Some are funny enough to play them all year round.

I love this one.

The Volkswagen: Eyes On The Road is a very impactful PSA on this topic.

The use of the "location based broadcaster" with your theater's PSA stating that "The movie will begin after the cell phones stop ringing" would certainly convey your message...
