Filmmaker submissions, screening schedules, and passes are strung across three platforms.
Use case
Film festivals, run from one dashboard.
Run the event site, screening passes and sponsor packages, applications from filmmakers and sponsors, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for film festivals, screening series, and cinema showcases from one connected dashboard.
Who it's for
Film festivals, screening series, and cinema showcases.
Instead of sending attendees, vendors, sponsors, and staff through separate tools, every workflow stays attached to the same event record - so nothing falls through the cracks between your form tool, your ticket link, and your spreadsheet.
- Publish a branded event site
- Sell screening passes and sponsor packages
- Collect applications from filmmakers and sponsors
- Assign booths on the floor-plan map
- Run QR check-in at the door
The old way
What usually goes wrong.
Filmmakers and sponsors apply in one tool while payments happen in another.
Booth assignments get redrawn in a spreadsheet nobody else can see.
Event-day staff work from printed lists that were stale before doors opened.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can filmmakers and sponsors apply and pay online?
Yes. Filmmakers and sponsors fill out a structured application with your custom questions, and once approved they can pay booth or table fees through Stripe checkout - or you can record manual payments like cash and checks.
Does VendlyNest sell screening passes and sponsor packages too?
Yes - tickets, booths, sponsor packages, and add-ons all live in one commerce layer with capacity limits, sold-out protection, receipts, and QR passes.
Do we need a separate website builder?
No. Every event gets a multi-page microsite with themes, drag-and-drop content blocks, vendor and guest directories, and optional custom domains.
