Broaden Your Impact, Build Community

Trust Through Transparency
Pay It Forward Ticketing ensures full transparency in ticket distribution. Real-time data tracking allows both filmmakers and audiences to see how donated tickets are being used, fostering trust and confidence in the process, reassuring donors that their contributions are making a real difference, and enhancing the integrity of your film’s distribution.

Community-Driven Support
By enabling your audience to support each other through ticket purchases, Pay It Forward Ticketing builds a strong sense of community. This collective effort not only boosts your film’s visibility but also creates a network of support for future projects.

“Pay It Forward Ticketing aligns perfectly with my goals of increased accessibility and social impact. By enabling viewers to support each other through ticket purchases, I can amplify the impact of my documentary and ensure that it reaches communities in India who might not otherwise have the opportunity to see it. GATHR's commitment to transparency and community empowerment is exactly what independent filmmakers like us need to continue telling important stories."
