Angel Studios may support Projects in any manner it chooses, including without limitation by helping to fund production of Content, translating Content into new languages, marketing Content (including in connection with theatrical releases), and carrying out promotional strategies. If you make a General Purchase, Angel Studios will determine, in its sole discretion, how to allocate funds among Projects. If you make a Project Purchase, funds from your purchase will be used to support the specific Project selected by you.

The number of Viewers who receive tickets to view movie Content for free through your purchase depends on the size of your purchase. You acknowledge that Angel Studios selects the Viewers who are granted tickets in its sole discretion.

  2. Perks. In addition to supporting the purposes described in Section 1, your Pay it Forward purchase may also entitle you to receive the additional benefits (“Perks”) described on the Pay it Forward webpage of each Project. Your eligibility to receive Perks and the nature of the Perks depend on the size of your Pay it Forward purchase. Perks are provided by the Project and may include, for example, providing you with early access to a Project’s Content, placing your name in the credits of Content, granting you VIP access to a live show or to the production set of a Project, and receiving a Project’s script.
