Pricing and benefits captured publicly
Patreon is not exposing patron counts by tier for this creator, so this section shows public prices and benefits only.
$0/moFreePublic prices and benefits only
$5/moMono$5 a month really adds up! You won't get your name on a seat (because we don't have any, YET), but a monthly donation at this level will help us pay for things that are just as important, like shipping supplies, archival tape for film prints (that stuff ain't cheap), and the test films we use to calibrate the picture and sound on our projectors!
$10/moStereoTicket prices to our screenings range from $7-$10 so donating $10 monthly ensures that we sell at least a few tickets a month even if there's a polar vortex and we have to cancel a show. It will help us pay for things like webhosting, printing booklets, and projection and collection supplies like splicing tape, film leader, and archival film cans!
$20/moUltra StereoPlease give us an excuse to make the tote bags we've been talking about for a decade. $20 a month will help us do things like pay rent on a space for our film collection, and pay our team for writing film capsules, designing our booklets, and projecting at our screenings! Plus if we get enough of these we'll be able to build robots of ourselves and retire!
$50/moUltra Ultra StereoThis tier comes with the same benefits as the $20 tier, but is designed for those who desire and are able to give a little more a month. $50 a month (or $600 a year) could help cover the costs of a single screening (film rental costs + shipping), or the labor costs of a two screenings (3-4 people working for 4 hours). So pick your favorite screening every season and pretend you paid for it (because maybe you did)!
