Angel Studios’ goal is to share stories that amplify light with the world. However, it takes millions of dollars to create and distribute high-quality content. That’s where you come in. Through our Pay it Forward program, generous fans can join our mission to make and distribute stories that amplify light. Here are a few ways you play a critical role through Pay it Forward.
Help Create Future Episodes and Seasons
Every contribution helps directors, writers, animators, and so many other creators do what they do best without charging exorbitant theater prices or monthly fees.
Make Content Free to Watch
Fans can Pay it Forward to their favorite show or film to make streaming free for millions of people and amplify the message of entertainment you are passionate about. You can know that your dollars are helping people enjoy wholesome, entertaining content.
Gift Theater Tickets to Other Fans
This initiative allows you to purchase movie tickets for someone else to claim and watch a film in the theaters for free. Pay it Forward tickets allow those that might not otherwise be able to afford to go to the theater to claim a free ticket to watch one of our films at the theater.
Gain Special Perks and Rewards
You can earn perks based on your level of contribution. Perks are decided by the individual creators. This could be a set visit, your name in the credits, or something special from your favorite show!
When you Pay it Forward, you become part of a movement in history to share stories that amplify light. Thank you for your generosity and support in this mission!
FAQs
How does Pay it Forward help after the film leaves theaters?
Even after the theatrical run ends, Pay it Forward purchases continue to help make our shows and movies available to those that may not be able to afford watching them otherwise. Your contribution makes it possible for us to eventually stream our shows and movies for free on the Angel Studios app.
Is Pay it Forward different than joining the Angel Guild?
Yes. Pay it Forward is different from joining the Angel Guild. Depending on how much you Pay it Forward, you may be granted certain perks that our Guild members also have, such as early access to certain projects when they become available in the Angel app. However, making a Pay it Forward purchase does not automatically make you an Angel Guild member. To join the Angel Guild, you must purchase a monthly or yearly membership plan.
What is the difference between Pay it Forward and Investing?
Both benefit the project. However, an investment is the purchase of investment shares from the issuer (aka, filmmaker) with the hope of a monetary return on that investment. A Pay it Forward purchase benefits the production, but has no expectation of a monetary return. Instead, when you Pay it Forward we offer certain perks which include the opportunity to help share the show with more people across the world.
Where does the Pay it Forward money go?
When you Pay it Forward to shows, the money goes toward funding future seasons and ensuring that content stays free for viewers around the world.
When you Pay it Forward to theatrical releases, the money goes toward purchasing movie tickets for those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford them. If all the Pay it Forward tickets are not claimed, the remaining funds are used for streaming costs and helping filmmakers create additional content.
