Membership

Where the money goes

You decide which filmmakers get paid

We split every membership 50/50 with the filmmakers whose films you watch. Every film you watch that month pays the person who made it, and the money follows your eyes rather than a chart.

To the filmmakers

The half that
makes films

Split by what you watched, paid per month
To running the cinema

keeps it open
