R2R’s All Access Pass gives access to the programs, from one device. Each pass allows all short film programs to be viewed as many times as you want. Short Film programs will be available starting midnight on March 28. As a pass holder you are welcome to watch whenever you’d like—day or night, weekday or weekend—through the end of the Festival (April 6).
HOW TO WATCH
Programs can be viewed on your web browser via Eventive, which can be cast to your TV using and on AppleTV or Roku. A comprehensive guide can be found at this link.
- Once you purchased your pass, browse through our program on our A-Z Feature Films and A-Z Short Films pages and decide on what films or film programs you’d like to see.
- Test your Device Compatibility to confirm that the streaming will work with your setup.
- Once you decide on the program, head to that page and click on the link after “Already got a pass?“, to be redirected to the video player that you will be able to “Unlock for Passholders“. Just like in cinema there are a limited number of tickets for R2R to distribute and therefore your virtual seat must be claimed with a ticket; this is the ticket you obtain as a passholder.
- Be sure to grab your tickets early for anything marked LIMITED. Films with only a few tickets remaining will be marked LIMITED. A film will be marked LIMITED if there are few tickets remaining.
- Once you unlock the film/program for your ticket, Eventive will email you a confirmation and a link to access the Festival streaming site.
- After your purchase is complete, you will receive an email from Eventive that will direct you to the Festival streaming site. Use your Eventive credentials to log in as a PASS HOLDER.
- Programs can be viewed on your web browser via Eventive, and can also be cast to your television or projector using and on AppleTV or Roku. A comprehensive guide can be found at this link.
