Fill your slow nights. Risk nothing. On your terms.

Theater owners keep telling us the same two things: screens sit near-empty on weeknights, and you'd gladly program more independent film — you just have no good way to FIND it. No time to sift a slush pile, no way to know what's finished, projection-ready, and worth your screen.

1. 1

   Browse a curated shelf, not a slush pile

   Every film on Indie Greenlight is finished, vetted, and delivery-ready for your booth — whether you run a digital cinema server, Blu-ray, or a file into your projector. Watch a private watermarked screener, check the specs, see how the film performed in other towns. And you're never vouching for anything: if a film isn't right for your house, you simply decline.

2. 2

   Set your own terms

   Your profile holds YOUR deal: maybe “$250 to open the room, everything above goes to the filmmaker,” maybe a straight split, maybe a split with a minimum ticket count — whatever makes a night worthwhile for you. From your terms, we work out how many reserved seats a show needs before it's confirmed. Filmmakers see the deal up front and take it or leave it. No haggling, no surprises.

3. 3

   Say yes to a night, not a gamble

   The showing goes up as “filling up.” Moviegoers reserve in advance — and the show is only confirmed once enough seats are reserved to clear YOUR number. Clear it, and you open the doors to a room that already paid. Fall short, and nobody was charged, your night is still yours, and it cost you exactly zero.

4. 4

   Keep what matters

   Roughly half the box office plus every dollar of concessions — and concessions on 50–100 extra guests on a dead Tuesday is often the best money of the deal. Walk-ups on the night are captured too: a QR at the door lets them buy on their phones (or your staff taps one button for cash sales), so day-of demand adds to everyone's take. Sell out, and we'll flag it: overflow demand is the perfect reason to book a second showing.

5. 5

   We do the heavy lifting

   Delivery ahead of time with a required test-play, so there's never a surprise in the booth. Ready-made promotion — a newsletter blurb for your list, a pre-show slide, poster art — one click and it's out. Many showings include a live on-screen Q&A with the director, which turns a screening into an event your regulars talk about. And your share arrives within days through an impartial payment processor — we never hold your money.

Independent theaters get first choice, always. A chain only ever sees a showing that the local independent declined — or where no independent exists at all. We are, demonstrably and every time, for the independent venue.

Because independent theaters across the country are already booking our film Abductee the old-fashioned way — one phone call at a time — and asking us for more like it. Indie Greenlight is that request, answered.
