Lodge — a private screening room with a hard stop
Lodge lets film teams send a precisely selected section of a cut to a small group for a limited viewing window.
Field notes
Lodge describes a screening workflow in which each session receives a separate rendition containing only the selected section of a film. Its example sends forty-five minutes to four people for one evening, with ten minutes’ warning before tokens are revoked and the key stops working. The sender can inspect each viewer’s position, drift, and device, while guests see a watermark and a notice that the remainder is private. The service is currently described as invite-only.
