Read the guideGood questions, straight answers
Let’s clear a few things up.
Is there an upfront publishing or marketing fee?
No. The core offer has no upfront publishing or marketing fee. Compensation is through an agreed revenue share on sales. Before work starts, the written agreement defines what is included, how sales proceeds are calculated, and how any channel deductions are handled. Your own production expenses are separate.
What percentage of sales do you take?
There is no universal percentage published on this site. The share depends on the project and the agreed scope of publishing, marketing, and distribution. You receive the proposed commercial terms before deciding whether to proceed.
Do I keep ownership of my movie?
The model is built around creators retaining their underlying ownership. A separate agreement must specify the limited rights needed to publish, market, and distribute the work. Review its scope carefully; submitting a project through this website does not transfer ownership.
Can I submit an AI-assisted or AI-generated movie?
Yes, for review. Disclose significant uses of AI, the tools and source materials involved, and how you have addressed licenses and permissions. You must be able to support the rights needed to distribute the work, including consent for any relevant voice or likeness use. Channel policies may further limit eligibility.
Your movie is made for more.
