Are you a filmmaker who's tired of giving distributors & platforms 70% while doing all the work yourself?

You already know the deal. There are only two options right now:
-
(1) Sign with a distributor
They take 70–90% after expenses, own your rights, hide your analytics, and block you from building your own audience.
Your movie makes money… you don’t.
-
(2) DIY everything yourself
Host on Vimeo or a random Squarespace site, lose the clout of major platforms, try Filmhub, patchwork it all together…
And burn out trying to be your own tech team. -
(3) The Third Option (Coming Soon)
A filmmaker-first platform for direct-to-fan sales with professional tools, real analytics, and total control.
No middlemen. No mystery fees. No contracts or nonsense. You keep your audience. You keep your data.
And you keep almost all the money.
Why am I building this ?
I made a movie. It won awards. And I still owe money.
In 2022, I released my first feature TURBO COLA.
It won Film Threat’s Independent Feature of the Year (2023) and Best Picture at multiple festivals.
I did everything by the book.
Signed with a reputable distributor.
Got placement on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Google Play.
The film was rented and purchased thousands of times.
And after all that success?
…I still owed the distributor money.
Here's What Actually Happened:
The distributor billed “recoupable expenses” for everything:
Encoding — $3,000
QC — $2,000
Graphics — $1,500
Marketing — $8,000
Captions — $3,000
Press releases — $5,000
Before I saw a single dollar, I had to recoup over $24,500.
After all their fees and cuts, my share was 5.2% of every sale.
If I had kept 90% instead of 30%, I would’ve made over $60,000 instead of owing money.
(Example numbers used to protect my private contract.)
So I’m building what I wish existed back then.
I’m using it for my next film, and you’re invited to as well.
Don’t worry, it’s not:
❌ A new “Netflix for indies.” This isn’t a subscription streamer trying to hoard content or build a catalog.
❌ An exclusive-rights trap. You keep your rights. No contracts or lock-ins, no fine-print recoupables.
❌ A middleman that takes 70% and hides the numbers. We’re not collecting your revenue to deduct mysterious fees.
❌ A vague Web3/AI slop factory. No token-first bitcoin NFT nonsense, or gimmicky or auto-generated spin-offs.
❌ A clunky DIY website that looks amateur. The tools are designed to look and feel professional. No Squarespace vibes.
❌ Only for filmmakers who want to be marketers. You can use the tools at your level of interest. From plug-and-play to advanced ad funnels.
🎬 It’s a toolkit built for filmmakers who actually want control.
Built by a filmmaker, for filmmakers… Starting with my next film.
