Distribution Innovation
How to Do a Film Drop
A Film Drop is the release of your film online to a curated or focused audience (super fans!), for a very short period of time, and only available in a limited quantity. This sense of urgency and exclusivity has been proven to help your film stand out, and successfully compel audiences to purchase and watch your film quickly. Here is how to do it!

We created Kinema to make it easier to support influencer, affiliate, and partner screenings. We generate a branded virtual cinema for affiliate partners, who promote the film to their audience, and both the film creator and influencer host share the revenue. Learn more here!
