Logic CMX provides everything you need to launch a virtual film festival online including video streaming, events, linear channels, tickets, chat, and more. Perfect for fully digital festivals, hybrid events, or as an addition to a traditional festival. As a matter of fact, we launched our own festival. The Brooklyn SciFi Film Festival, launched in 2020 by the Logic CMX team and continues each year with virtual and in-person events. Why? Because we are passionate about the Logic CMX platform and love science fiction and independent film. Including an online component to a film festival is a great way to reach an international audience and create awareness.
5 Steps to Launch a Film Festival on Logic CMX
1. Launch a 30-Day free trial of Logic CMX with Logic Video Add-On. The Logic team will on-board your project and get you started with set up and consulting.
2. Select a video theme and configure using documentation and online guides or use our professional design service for a complete custom festival experience. Logic CMX has modules for event count-down clocks, trailers, tickets, search, chat, qr codes, and more... Everything you need for a professional virtual festival.
3. Upload your videos to Logic Video to create streams and add details. Have a FilmFreeway account? Export film selection metadata and import directly into Logic to populate details on all of your film selections. With Logic, you can easily create categories, genres, transcode videos, and provide both a Netflix style on-demand experience, and a real-time linear channel for events. Already have your videos on another service like YouTube, Vimeo, Mux, Backlight, or CineSend? Logic plugs directly into these services via API and can provide the front-end service and apps.
4. Monetize with payments by adding Paypal, Stripe, or one of the other available payment services. With Paypal, you can begin accepting payments in 1-day. Add a recommended donation or a required ticket purchase to view films for the entire festival or monetize videos individually for a pay-per-view experience.
5. Promote and sell using Logic's built-in blog, search engine optimization tools, and connect to popular services like Eventbrite for ticket sales and MailChimp for email marketing. Logic also has a complete online store option to sell festival merchandise.
