Filmmakers can host their own events with Kinema. The process for doing so is the exact same as your screening hosts. Once your film page is up, go to your film page and click "Create Screening Event."
How Payment Works
If you sell tickets to your event, you will receive 90% of the ticket sales as you act as both the host and the rights holder. The remaining 10% goes to Kinema. You can set these events up on your own at any time.
If you want your event to be free for your audience, you have two options:
Pay your own licensing fee. 80% will go back to you, as you are the rights holder. 20% will go to Kinema to cover the costs of streaming, management and customer service.
Pay Per Usage. We will give you a code to book your event for free.
Virtual Events: You will charged $1 per attendee, billed to you after the event.
In Person Events: You will be charged $25 per event, billed to you after the event.
A standard payment processing fee of 2.9% and 30 cents are deducted prior to all revenue shares.
For these free events, contact us at films@kinema.com and we will help get you set up.
