Only one ticket is needed per household to view our films. If you would like to support us further, making a donation is the best way to do so. With only a limited number of views to sell we want to be sure that the others have a chance to purchase access as well.

If you are trying to purchase more than one ticket for the same film for a friend in another household, you’ll have to do this in two separate transactions to generate a separate, unique Watch Movie link. If not, this will create problems when trying to view at the same time.

First, check your email, and make sure your purchase went through. The email you were sent should have a link for you to watch the film. Or you can find your purchase by signing in to mspfilm.org and going to your account and looking at “Your Orders”. If you are still having issues, email us at ticketing@mspfilm.org.

Once you reserve your ticket, you will have access to watch on your computer, phone, or tablet, or cast with one of these several options.

Chromecast

You can cast a video from your computer or smart device (phone, iPad) using the following steps! Open the movie on your device (computer or phone). At the bottom right of the screen you should see the casting icon. It looks like this:

If you don’t see that icon and you’re casting from a computer in the Chrome browser, you can open the menu in the upper right corner of the window (or the View menu) and select “Cast”. Once you select that button, it should give you the option to select a nearby device, then select your Chromecast. If you don’t see your Chromecast, make sure both devices are on the same wireless network. You can find more details on the Chromecast website: google.com/us/product/chromecast

HDMI Connection

For this option you will require an HDMI cable. If you don’t have one you can purchase one HERE.

Plug the HDMI cable into your TV and your laptop. Then set your computer to mirror your TV screen. Make sure your TV is set to HDMI input. Then you should be all set!
