A: The goal of our partnership is to make it super easy for filmmakers to leverage the audience-building momentum of a crowdfunding campaign for successful distribution to that same audience in the future. We recommend that creators offer Kinema streams and the opportunity to host Kinema screenings of their films as incentives for their Seed&Spark campaigns. Kinema will make it easy and cost-effective to fulfill Kinema-related incentives for completed Seed&Spark campaigns, while offering additional resources to build community distribution campaigns for your project.
