Learn about gifting

Support the stories and people behind the films.

Show appreciation, give support, and directly empower the cast, crew and creative team who bring these African stories to life.

Rent a film first. Gifting opens from that film’s credits.

The gifting concept

Gift both the cast and crew.

You can gift anyone involved in a film — from the people in front of the camera (the cast) to the people behind the camera (the crew) — who make the story possible.

How it works: After renting a movie, you get access to gift any cast or crew member listed in the film’s credits.

How Gifting Works

It’s simple, fast and meaningful.

  1. 1

    Rent a movie

    Choose and rent any film on Abegwatch.

  2. 2

    Pick a cast or crew member

    After renting, open the film’s credits and select who you want to gift.

  3. 3

    Send your gift

    Choose an amount from your wallet (₦100 or more). If your balance is short, Paystack tops up only the gap, then the gift sends.
