How it works
Step 01
Pick a film
Browse the projects pitching at the Student Film Festival Bahrain 26 Film Pitch Expo, each with its own story, team and budget.
Step 02
Buy the merch
Choose a tier or a single item. Tiers run from BHD 5 to BHD 500, plus 10% VAT. Collect at the festival desk or have it delivered.
Step 03
Fund the film
The margin on everything you buy goes to that film's production, and your name can go in its credits.
Made by the crowd, key art
The idea
Made by the crowd
The idea

A souq for films that don't exist yet.

Instead of asking for donations, we sell the film's merchandise, posters, totes, signed clapboards, premiere seats, and the money finishes the film. You get something real; a filmmaker gets their shot.
