Hello, I want to set up family sharing without having a card on file, is that possible? Pretty much we want to set this up for sharing Movies purchased. But we don't want to have to "ask for approval" to purchase items on itunes, instead each person has their own card they use. Is this possible at all?

No. To setup Family Sharing, the Family Organizer must have a credit card on file.

When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. See which payment methods you can use with Family Sharing. If you need to, you can change the billing method on file in your account at any time in your iTunes & App Stores account settings.
Other members can use iTunes Credit balance on their accounts to purchase things so they don't get charged to the organizer's card, but there is no way to setup Family Sharing without a valid credit card on file.
When you enable Family Share only the organizer's credit card can be used for payment. If members have store credit, such as from gift cards, that credit will be used up for their purchases before your credit card is used. So this is the workaround the one-credit card restriction.
Can I not have a card on file for family sharing?
