Depending on what you've enabled, they can see your poster, trailer, synopsis, director's statement, production stills, cast & crew credits, and festival selections.

The Screening Portal is a personalized hub for distributors, buyers, and press. When you share films with someone, all of them appear in their portal—no separate logins or scattered links.
