The group photo app for festivals.
A festival weekend moves fast, and half of it disappears into everyone's separate camera rolls. Reela hands your whole crew one shared roll of film — everyone shoots, nobody scrolls, and every photo develops together when the weekend is over.

Why Reela
Made for the whole crew.
Big groups, finite film, and one gallery that lands after the last set.
Built for big groups
Festival crews are big. The Grand tier holds up to 250 people, so your whole camp, convoy, or group chat shoots into a single shared gallery — no scattered albums to chase down afterward.
Keeps you in the moment
Every guest gets a fixed set of exposures — no burst mode, no scrolling back to check the shot. When the film is finite, people put the phone down and actually watch the set.
The reveal is the afterparty
Nobody sees a single photo until reveal time. Set it for the drive home or brunch the next day, and the whole gallery unlocks for everyone at once — the perfect excuse to relive the weekend together.
How it works
Running Reela at your festival.
Create the event, share the code
Pick a reveal time and Reela hands you a 6-letter join code like SUN-SET plus a QR code. Stick it on your camp flag, drop it in the group chat, or post it at the meetup spot.
Everyone shoots the weekend
Guests join by code or QR — no account needed. Each gets a set of film exposures to spend through five vintage filters. No retakes, no previews of anyone else's photos.
Reveal it all together
A live countdown builds the suspense right up to reveal time — then the shared gallery unlocks for the whole crew at once, every shot developing side by side.
Multi-day, one gallery
One roll for the whole weekend.
A festival isn't one night — it's a run of days, stages, and campsite mornings. Reela treats the whole thing as one event with one reveal at the end, so a photo from Friday's opener and Sunday's last dance land in the same gallery.
Big groups can burn through film fast, so the host can add Shot Boost — buy it once and every single guest gets more exposures: +5 for $3.99, +15 for $8.99, or +30 for $14.99, up to 50 extra shots per guest. Too impatient to wait for the closing set? Rush Reveal ($9.99) opens the gallery two hours early.
Film status
Between sets
Turn on the optional Photo Scavenger Hunt — 15 built-in challenges worth 10–25 points each, a live leaderboard, and Hunt Awards you pick as the host. It gives the crew something to shoot while they wait for the next stage.

FAQ
Festival questions.
How many people can join one festival gallery?
Up to 250 on the Grand tier — and that count includes you, the host. Smaller crews can pick any of the six event sizes, from Free (up to 5 people) on up. Everyone joins the same gallery with one 6-letter code or a QR scan, and no account is required to join.
Can everyone keep shooting across a multi-day festival?
Yes. Reela is one event with one reveal, so guests shoot the whole weekend on their set of exposures. If a big group runs low early, the host can add Shot Boost and every guest gets more — up to 50 extra exposures each. There's also an optional 15-challenge Photo Scavenger Hunt with a live leaderboard to keep the crew busy between sets.
When do we actually see the photos?
Not until your reveal time. The gallery stays locked behind a live countdown, then unlocks for everyone at once — set it for the ride home or the morning after. Once revealed, photos can be saved to your camera roll and shared, and they stay available for 90 days. An impatient guest can unlock the gallery two hours early with Rush Reveal ($9.99).
