“A filmmaker finishes their first feature. It gets into two regional festivals. Then what? No infrastructure they own. No way to charge. No audience. No path forward.”

Eventbrite

Generic. No film identity, no creator brand, no audience retention.

Vimeo OTT

Subscription-only. No live event format. No discovery layer.

Festival Circuit

Geographic, gatekept, annual. Not scalable for emerging creators.

How it works

From finished film to paid audience
in 20 minutes.

01

Create your project

Upload your poster, synopsis, and trailer. Your film gets a canonical EmpowerFlix record — no re-entry ever.

02

Schedule a screening

Set your window, your price, your capacity. Free RSVP or paid ticket — you decide.

03

Gate access

Viewers register with email. We capture granular consent — privacy-first and fully compliant.

04

Pipeline to EmpowerFlix

Your audience and project carry forward automatically. When EmpowerFlix launches, your audience is waiting.

💳

How payouts work

Stripe Connect pays filmmakers directly. 88% of every ticket goes straight to your account. No waiting, no minimums. Stripe processing passed at cost.

🔒

Content protection

Mux signed playback URLs mean your film can only be watched by registered viewers during your screening window. No download, no sharing.

📋

You stay in control

Your screening, your price, your capacity. Cancel or extend anytime. Your film, your terms — we just provide the infrastructure.

Contributor Revenue Pool · Live now

When teams make films,
the team gets paid.

Your 88% can split across the entire team — director, DP, editor, composer, cast, producer — with custom percentages, digital agreements, and direct Stripe payouts to every contributor.

One ticket sale. Multiple recipients. Automatic.

Stripe Connect

Multi-recipient orchestration. Every team member gets paid the moment a ticket sells.

Digital Agreements

Per-project percentage tables. Each contributor signs their share online before payouts begin.

Live Dashboards

Every party sees the screening's revenue and their share in real time. No reconciling. No waiting.

AI Discovery / Smart Search · Live now

Discovery that respects the work.

Type "show me uplifting Black independent films" — get exactly that. AI metadata tagging on every project powers natural-language search. Genre, mood, theme, cultural context. Describe it, find it.

No algorithm burying your work. No keyword guessing. Audiences find your film without you bringing every viewer.

Pricing

Transaction-led. Subscription-layered.
You keep your revenue.

When does Studio pay for itself?

Once your monthly screening revenue crosses ~$23,500, Studio's 10% saves you more than the $470/mo upgrade costs — and you get full white-label, 3–4 team seats, and richer analytics. Below that, stay on Pro.
