But the film's mere existence and its fervent outdoor reception signals critical mass for Ultra as a brand. It's no longer just a festival in Miami, but a movement." The film showed in more than 500 movie theatres across North
America for one night only the following day and soon after, it was made available exclusively via UMF TV's YouTube channel. Now the impact of ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL can be relived over again.
