You have the option to either sell tickets or make your event free for guests.

If you choose to sell tickets, you won't have to pay any fee โ€“ 45% of your ticket sales will go to the film team while 45% will go directly to you. This tends to be our hosts' preferred method for fundraising. For virtual ticketed events, you as the host must also purchase a ticket.

If you choose to make your event free, you will have to pay a one-time licensing fee to acquire the film. In this case, 80% of the proceeds will go to the filmmakers. Licensing fees vary by film and are dependent on audience size. Please feel free to inquire about a specific film's licensing fee by emailing us at hello@kinema.com.


Thank you! If you have other questions, email hello@kinema.com.
