How You Make Money
There are three ways to generate revenue from your film through screenings and TVOD on Kinema. These are all optional for you to offer, or not offer, to screening partners and audiences.
Licensing
This is what screening hosts can pay upfront to show your film to an audience for free. Prices are set by you and can vary based on audience size and organization type.
Ticketing
Instead of upfront licensing fees, offer your hosts the option to sell tickets and share in the revenue. Modify your revenue share with hosts during onboarding to fit your film and goals.
Rentals
Sell direct rentals of your film at a price of your choosing. You can also offer 'Pay What You Wish' pricing so that viewers can pay what makes sense for their budget, or contribute more to your film if they choose to.
“
With Kinema, we saw the possibility of prioritizing a community screening window above others and were able to promote our film as an alternative to festivals and theatrical releases. The results could not have been more powerful. Audiences gathered across time zones and borders, creating a feeling of intimacy and connectedness and sharing the spirit of resilience that our film presents.
