If you've created a screening and need a little help reaching the funding target, here's a proven plan that works for many successful Screenwave creators.
Create a WhatsApp group and invite friends, family, and anyone you know who loves the film.
This is one of the fastest ways to build early momentum and show others that the screening already has support.
Send personal messages to work colleagues, school friends, or people you think would genuinely enjoy the film.
A simple, direct invite often works far better than a public post.
Share your screening in relevant local Facebook groups and film communities.
Facebook often surfaces posts to people interested in similar films. Tag Screenwave and the cinema to increase reach and trust.
Share your screening on Instagram Stories or as a post.
Adding a short personal reason for why you love the film helps attract like-minded people. Tag Screenwave and the cinema.
Post in relevant Reddit threads, Discord servers, or genre-specific film groups.
These communities are often highly engaged and love seeing cult, classic, or rare films return to the big screen.
Is it your birthday, a film anniversary, a tribute screening, or something people have never seen in a cinema before?
Add a theme or screening rule to make it feel like an event, not just a screening. Even if your idea feels a bit wild, we can work with the cinema to make it possible.
Don't just post once — remind people as the screening date approaches.
A second or third mention often catches people who missed the first one. Even a simple story or repost can push you over the line.
