Festivals end. Distributors take 70–80% of your net. Most independent films never find a second life after their run. ScreenForge gives you your own branded streaming site where you sell directly to your audience — rentals, purchases, subscriptions — on your terms, in any territory, with your name on it.
ScreenForge builds you a standalone streaming site for your film. You upload your content, set your prices, and control where and when it's available. Your audience goes to your site, pays you, and watches your film. That's it.
You're not listed on someone else's platform alongside thousands of other titles hoping to get noticed. You're not handing over your rights for the privilege of being buried in a catalog. You control the entire experience.
Rent for $4.99, sell for $12.99, offer a subscription for your catalog. Your pricing, your revenue model.
Open North America first, Europe three months later, rest of world after that. Real release windowing, the way distribution actually works.
No exclusive distribution agreements. No revenue minimums. No lock-in periods. Cancel anytime and take your audience data with you.
ScreenForge takes 10% of transactions. Compare that to the 70–80% a traditional distributor takes off your net.
Not a repurposed course platform. Not a Patreon clone. Every feature is designed around releasing and selling films.
Feature film, director's cut, trailer, behind-the-scenes, Q&A recordings, short films. Organize into a real catalog, not a content feed.
Poster art, festival laurels, cast and crew credits, synopsis. A proper film site that looks like it belongs to your project, not a generic storefront.
TVOD rentals, EST purchases, or subscriptions if you have a catalog. Price in any currency. The transactional models that actually work for film.
Control when each territory opens. Run your festival circuit, do your theatrical, then open digital territory by territory on your schedule.
Where your audience actually is. Which territories are converting. Where drop-off happens in the film. Real data, not vanity metrics.
Signed playback tokens and encrypted delivery. Your film doesn't end up on a piracy site the week you launch. The baseline protection your work deserves.
Password-protected private link for critics, festival programmers, and press. Separate from your public storefront. Time-limited access you control.
Coming SoonA dedicated press kit section on your site. Downloadable stills, director bio, full synopsis, festival history, and technical specs. Everything press needs in one place.
Coming SoonEvery plan includes a 14-day free trial. No credit card required to start. No revenue minimums, no lock-in, cancel anytime.

ScreenForge takes 10% of each transaction (7% on the Distribution Label plan). That's it. No hidden costs, no monthly revenue minimums, no “recoupable expenses” that mean you never see a check. For context, a traditional distribution deal typically takes 70–80% of your net revenue, often with additional expenses deducted before you see anything. You do the math.
No. You retain full ownership of your content. ScreenForge provides infrastructure — we don’t acquire, license, or claim any rights to your work. Cancel anytime and take your content and audience data with you.
ScreenForge is non-exclusive. Run it alongside Vimeo, your own website, or any other channel. We don’t require exclusivity and never will.
We take 10% of each transaction processed through your storefront (7% on the Distribution Label plan). That’s it. No monthly revenue minimums, no per-subscriber fees, no hidden charges. Stripe’s standard processing fees apply on top — typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.
Your audience data — email addresses, subscriber list — belongs to you. You can export it at any time. We don’t hold your audience hostage.
Payouts are handled directly through Stripe Connect. Funds are transferred to your connected bank account on Stripe’s standard payout schedule, typically 2 business days after a transaction.
You spent years making your film. It deserves a permanent home where people can find it, watch it, and pay you for it. ScreenForge is the infrastructure to make that happen.
No long-term contracts. No revenue minimums. Cancel anytime.
