# How Theatrical on Demand® works for Film Owners, Venues, and Featured Talent
## Have you received an inquiry for your Film, Venue or Talent profile? Read on to find out everything you need to know about how it works.
Getting booked for a Film Screening is easy and risk-free. Find out how the process works:
When you send an offer and accept a Theatrical on Demand® Film Screening inquiry, your **booking** is **tentative** **until** the Screening reaches its minimum revenue. Once that happens, it means **the Host has sold enough tickets** **to cover all** the booking **costs** and they can **confirm the Screening**. A confirmed screening means that the Screening is no longer tentative, and you will be paid for your booking.
*Note:* After you've created your Talent offering, Event space, or Film on Gathr, and toggled on Theatrical on Demand® in your Preferences section, it's available for booking. From then on, Hosts can request to book you for Film Screenings.
This process occurs for all bookings included in a Film Screening:
1. [Film Owners](https://support.gathr.com/how-theatrical-on-demand-works-for-film-owners-venues-and-featured-talent#films)
2. [Venue Owners](https://support.gathr.com/how-theatrical-on-demand-works-for-film-owners-venues-and-featured-talent#venues)
3. [Talent](https://support.gathr.com/how-theatrical-on-demand-works-for-film-owners-venues-and-featured-talent#talent)
> **For Film Owners**
** 1. Hosts send** you a **screening request** from your Film Details page. You **receive an inquiry** to your Messages inbox - accessible from your Dashboard.
** 2. Set an offer price** and a **deadline** for confirmation and **send your offer** to the Host.
Choose the payment structure that works best for you. You can select from a flat fee, an hourly fee, a per-person fee, and a share of ticket sales for your booking.
If the Screening doesn't meet its minimum funding goal *before* your deadline, the Screening and your tentative booking are cancelled.
**3. Host accepts or declines** your **offer** (when a host declines your offer, you can adjust it and send them a new offer).
**When** the **Host accepts** all **offers**, they can **publish the Screening**.
**4.** **Host publishes** Screening and **starts selling tickets**.
This is a great moment to share your Event among your community, on your social media accounts, and on your personal website.
**5.** Film Screening **sells** enough **tickets** to **cover all** Booking **costs** - Film, Venue, and Talent costs are covered. Then, the **Screening is confirmed** by Host.
**When** a Screening is **confirmed**, your **payment** is now **guaranteed**.
After the Event, most payouts are issued within 36 hours.
