How our collaborations work

Our film collaborations bring together a full cast and crew of talented individuals who are all working to increase their skills and showreels. As a part of each collaboration, you’ll get to experience:

Working in your desired role on a well-funded production
Full on-screen and IMDB credit
Full travel and other necessary expenses paid
Creative input during pre-production and on set
Fair and transparent points / percentage of any future project revenue
Transparency around budget and expenses
A fun, supportive, and friendly environment to learn and network in
A high-quality film to add to your showreel or portfolio

Our productions are not paid for anyone, including producers and directors. We appreciate that these collaborations are not right for established industry professionals, and are instead for new talents who want to learn and grow together, in a well-funded and high-quality environment.

Where are collaborations distributed?

Learning the “business side” of film is part of the goal for some collaborators, so the final cut of collaborations may be distributed to:

The personal and professional websites of anyone involved in the project.
Free-to-watch / AVOD platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, etc)
Film festivals
Potentially SVOD and TVOD platforms, cinematic release, etc.

We are not a SAG-AFTRA approved organisation, however we still adhere to most of their Micro-Budget Projects Guidelines. The exceptions to this are:

Our projects are not filmed entrely in the US.
There is potential of SVOD / TVOD / Cinematic release, the profits of which are distributed among all involved in the collaboration, according to the role’s standard points. All cast and crew will receive frequent transparent reports about profits.
