You finished your feature film, short film, documentary, web series, or other video content-but have not secured a distributor or streaming deal. Getting picked up by major streaming services or television networks can be difficult, even for outstanding productions.
No distribution? No problem.
If you believe your film has an audience, you should have the opportunity to monetize it directly.
Create your filmmaker account, upload your film, add artwork, write a description, and choose your own price.
Within minutes, your film is ready for viewers to purchase and stream.
You stay in control of your content and how your film is presented.
Once your film is published, you will receive a direct link to its page.
Share it wherever your audience already follows you: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, your own website, email newsletters, film communities, word of mouth.
Whether you already have a large following or a dedicated niche audience, Filmy lets viewers access your film through a simple purchase and redemption process.
Every successful purchase generates revenue for you.
Payments are processed securely through Stripe Connect, allowing creators to receive their share automatically.
You keep ownership of your film while earning directly from the audience you have built.
No waiting for distributors. No pitching to streaming platforms. No gatekeepers. Just your film, your audience, and your revenue.
No. Choose a film, pay, and you will receive a unique access code by email - no signup, no password, no account required.
Your code is valid for 24 hours from the moment you receive it, and can be used up to 10 times within that window for the film you purchased - so you can pause, reconnect, or rewatch without buying again.
Check your spam folder first. If it is still missing after a few minutes, contact us at office@gofilmy.net with your payment confirmation and we will help resolve it.
No - each code is tied to the specific film you purchased and will not work on any other title.
Not every great film gets a streaming deal. Many independent filmmakers already have an audience through social media, festivals, communities, newsletters, or personal networks. Filmy gives you a simple way to turn that audience into paying viewers-while keeping control of your work and your rights.
No. Filmy was built for filmmakers who want to reach audiences directly without relying on traditional distributors, broadcasters, or streaming services. If you have an audience-or believe you can build one-you can start selling your film immediately.
Filmy is designed for independent creators. You can publish: feature films, short films, documentaries, student films, web series, video essays, creative projects, independent productions, and other original video content. You must own the rights to everything you upload or have the legal authority to distribute it.
Filmy takes 10% to run and maintain the platform infrastructure, while Stripe charges 4% plus EUR/USD 0.25 per transaction for payment processing. In total, this equals a transparent 14% + EUR/USD 0.25 fee per sale.
Yes. You retain full ownership and copyright of your film. Filmy receives only the limited license necessary to host, stream, promote, and process purchases through the platform.
No. Publishing your film on Filmy does not prevent you from distributing it elsewhere unless you have agreed to exclusivity with another party.
Yes. Every filmmaker decides how much to charge for access to their film.
After purchasing, the viewer receives a unique access code linked to their email address. The code remains valid for 24 hours from issuance and may be used up to 10 times during that window.
You choose the price for your film. When a viewer purchases access, payment is securely processed through Stripe. Your share is transferred through Stripe Connect according to the platform's revenue model.
Payment is processed and your share is transferred to your connected Stripe account right away. The actual arrival in your bank account then follows Stripe's standard payout schedule (typically a few business days, longer for newly connected accounts).
Payments are handled entirely by our payment provider, Stripe.
Each filmmaker is responsible for their own tax reporting and payments, as required by the laws in their country or region. Filmy does not provide tax advice. If required by law or a valid court order, we may provide relevant information to competent authorities.
As a filmmaker, you may be required to provide ID and basic personal data so we can comply with legal obligations, payment regulations, and standard business verification requirements. This information is used solely for compliance, security, and payout processing.
