Users can share links with friends via Twitter and email.

Sharing insights on the Firefly Video, Kelvin Tan, business director at Tribal Fusion in Malaysia, said, “We believe that just like the preceding campaigns we have done for the entertainment industry, this too will deliver promising results, stimulating ticket sales for the movie upon release."
