As your film gets booked for screenings you will receive payouts as a percentage of ticket sales and license fees. Here are a few common questions about payouts:
Setting Up Your Payout Account
Once onboard your first film, you'll be guided to establish your payout account. All films are required to have an active payout account prior to publishing. You can easily manage your payout account by accessing your film management dashboard and selecting the 'Payouts' option on your films. Please note you only have to set up your payout account once and it will apply to all of your films.
