Our Filmmaker Revenue Sharing Program was originally launched in 2011. The program was a huge success which raised thousands of dollars for filmmakers. Digital technology has opened doors for independent content creators which never existed just years ago. Digital revenue sharing programs such as iTunes and the YouTube Partner Program have become widely popular. The Manhattan Film Festival believes this model is the future for film festivals. The festival provides the platform while the filmmaker provides the content. 50% of all 2012 ticket revenue will go back to the filmmakers regardless of program participation. Filmmakers that want to promote their screening will be have the option to  create an account and track real-time sales via our partner ScreenBooker.com.
