TheMoviesClub is a member driven movie distributor, with a ready-made fan base of thousands.
Using a microfinance approach we enable people to become shareholders of a real movie for as little as £10. Below we explain each stage from being a member, to the rewards from owning your own movie.
What will members do?
We will start buying a slate of independent movies, as chosen by our members. The acquisitions will be funded by the Club’s members who have decided to invest their £10. This may not sound much money, but for every thousand members that adds £10,000 to the pot, and with our partnerships, this enables us to acquire some strong indie movies.
We will then release these movies across the UK and Ireland on multiple channels, e.g. cinema, DVD, Online, iTunes, with members making the key decisions affecting the movie and its promotion.
