Presale tickets
Presale ticket terms and refunds
Plain-language terms for presale tickets to THE EARTH MOVIE, sold by Madwackd Productions LLC, Denver, Colorado. Last updated November 8, 2026.
Presale price: $2.99 per ticket. The regular price at release will be $4.88.
Full refund, any time before release. Just ask. No reason needed.
1.5% of every ticket goes to carbon removal through Stripe Climate.
What a ticket gets you
One presale ticket lets one person watch THE EARTH MOVIE online at watchvrmovie.com when it premieres. You can watch with a VR headset or on a phone, tablet or computer. Before premiere day we will email your access details to the email address you used at checkout, so please use one you check.
We will post the exact viewing window and device details before release. If they don't work for you, you can still get a full refund before release.
A ticket is a ticket to watch a movie. It is not an investment, a donation or a share in the film, and it carries no profit share, returns, ownership or voting rights.
Why a presale
The presale price is lower than the regular release price. Early ticket sales help fund the movie and support this independent project. Buying a ticket now is optional; the free waitlist gets the same news.
VR Theatre seats
We plan to open a VR Theatre where you can watch with other fans in VR headsets, with your own avatar. VR Theatre seats will be $6.88. The VR Theatre is not open yet and these seats are not on sale. A presale ticket is for the regular online showing at watchvrmovie.com.
When the movie comes out
Our target is Summer 2027. There is no fixed premiere date yet. For these terms, we promise to premiere, or to contact you, by September 30, 2027.
If the release slips
If we can't premiere by September 30, 2027, we will email every ticket buyer before that date. The email will give a new expected date (or tell you why we don't have one yet) and your choice:
- Keep your ticket by replying yes, or
- Get a full refund, free and with one reply.
If the new date is more than 30 days later, or we don't have a new date, and you don't reply within 30 days, we will refund you automatically. You can also ask for a refund any time before release, whatever happens. This follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule.
If we cancel the movie, everyone gets a full refund automatically.
Refund protocol
- How to ask: reply to your Stripe receipt email, or email our ticket desk with the subject "EARTH refund". Include the email you used at checkout. A receipt number helps but isn't required.
- Who handles it: Madwackd Productions LLC handles every refund itself, through Stripe, our payment processor.
- How fast: we issue the refund within 2 business days of your request and email you when it's done. Your bank usually shows it within 5 to 10 business days.
- How much: the full price you paid, back to the same card. No fees and no questions.
- After release: if a technical problem on our side keeps you from watching during the viewing window, tell us and we'll fix it or refund you.
Please ask us for a refund before disputing the charge with your bank. It's faster for you and keeps the presale running.
1.5% to carbon removal
EARTH is a movie about a planet that forgot what matters. So 1.5% of all ticket sales goes to removing carbon dioxide from the air, through Stripe Climate. Stripe sends the money to carbon removal projects. It comes out of our share, at no extra cost to you. Carbon removal is not a charity donation, and it isn't tax deductible for you or us. How the 1.5% works.
Payment and privacy
Payment is handled by Stripe on its secure checkout page. We never see or store your full card number. Your card is charged when you buy. Stripe emails you a receipt, and the charge shows on your statement under a Madwackd name.
We use your email to send your receipt, your access details, release news and refund messages. We never sell it. Prices are in U.S. dollars.
The movie is made with AI
THE EARTH MOVIE uses AI-generated characters, voices and imagery, directed and produced by Zach Wennstedt at Madwackd Productions. Any resemblance to real persons is coincidental. It is family friendly: no cussing and no crude humor.
Other terms
Tickets are for personal viewing, not public screenings or resale. We may change these terms for future buyers; changes never reduce the refund rights of anyone who already bought. Colorado law applies. Questions? Email our ticket desk. See also Legal and privacy.
