Adding a Call to Action to Your Film

Share

Filmmakers and Hosts can now add a custom engagement button that links to any third-party site. Use it to accept donations, drive traffic to your website or socials, sell merchandise, and more.

For Filmmakers, this button will be displayed:

  • After checkout, when purchasing a ticket to any type of screening of your film (in person or online), whether that screening is hosted by you or someone else.
  • After check out, when purchasing a rental of your film.
  • In the video player, ONLY for Watch Now/TVOD rentals.

For Hosts, this button will be displayed:

  • In the virtual cinema for Live Virtual screening events, underneath the video player.
  • In the virtual cinema for Event VOD screening events, underneath the video player.

How it Works

Simply choose your button text and add a third party link in your Filmmaker Onboarding Tool (for Filmmakers) or Event Management Dashboard (for Hosts).


You can select from the following Button options:

  • Donate
  • Take Action
  • Buy Merch
