CONTAGIOUS CARDS

Watch the film, share it with a friend and unlock bonus content!

The EDIE ARNOLD IS A LOSER team is distributing the film through“Contagious” FilmTrade Cards. You can purchase a card and gain access to watch the film as many times as you’d like, starting 11:59 PM PDT on September 10th. Bring the card home, cast to a bigger screen and hold a watch party!

Next, give the FilmTrade card to a friend or family member, and allow them to purchase a copy. They can reload the card themselves, or you can reload the card before giving it to them.

As the original purchaser and card owner, once the card is reloaded, you’ll gain access to exclusive bonus content, only available via the FilmTrade card.

How they work!

Purchasing a Card from the Filmmaker

  1. Tap the Card

  2. Sign in (or create an account) to accept a copy of the film

    • If someone else taps the card before you accept this copy, it will no longer be available for you to accept.

  3. After you accept the copy, you can keep using the card, in either of two ways:

    • Purchase a “reload”, which adds another copy to the card so you can pass it on as a gift.

    • While the card is “empty”, anyone can tap the card and accept a coupon, which enables them to purchase their own copy. Without a coupon from tapping a Contagious Card, they cannot purchase a film on this page.

  4. Watch the film as many times as you want, starting after 11:59 PM PDT on Sept. 10

Unlock Bonus Content!

If you pass the card on to someone else and they purchase a reload (or you purchase the reload for them), your film page (as the original card owner) will unlock exclusive bonus content!

Purchasing a Reload

  1. Tap the Card

  2. Sign in (or create an account) to purchase a copy of the film

    • If you don’t accept the coupon in time, you’ll have to re-tap the Contagious Card to get this offer again.

  3. After you purchase the copy, you can keep using the card, in either of two ways:

    • Purchase a “reload”, which adds another copy to the card so you can pass it on as a gift.

    • While the card is “empty”, anyone can tap the card and accept a coupon, which enables them to purchase their own copy. Without a coupon from tapping a Contagious Card, they cannot purchase a film on this page.

FAQ

  • No! Once you’ve tapped the card and added the film to your account, the card will be “empty”. From there, you can “reload” the card by purchasing the film again, or you can pass the “empty” card to someone else, for them to “reload”.

  • Access to watch the film will open up at 11:59 PM PDT on September 10th. After that, you’ll be able to watch the film as many times as you’d like!

  • The exclusive bonus content will unlock once the card you used to purchase the film (and add it to your account) has been “reloaded”, meaning either you or someone else has purchased the film again, using the same card.

  • Did anyone else tap the card before you did? If someone else taps the card before you accept this copy, it will no longer be available for you to accept.
