FilmHub — the bottom line
"A film distribution platform that lets independent filmmakers directly distribute their movies to streaming services like Tubi, Plex, Amazon Channels, and 100+ others — a genuine DIY alternative to traditional film distribution that keeps filmmakers in control."
What is FilmHub and how does it work?
Filmhub aggregates distribution to 100+ ad-supported, subscription, and transactional streaming platforms. Filmmakers submit their film with metadata and rights clearances; Filmhub encodes and delivers to partner platforms. When streaming, Filmhub collects revenue and remits 80% to the filmmaker. The platform replaces what would otherwise require a traditional distributor taking 20-50% of revenues.
FilmHub standout strengths
For independent filmmakers who've completed a film and want streaming presence without signing away rights and a large revenue share to a traditional distributor, Filmhub is a genuine alternative. The 80/20 split is dramatically better than traditional distribution economics. The multi-platform delivery to 100+ services provides breadth that individual filmmaker negotiations would take months to achieve.
FilmHub weaknesses and drawbacks
The missing platforms are the big ones. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and HBO Max are not in the Filmhub distribution network — these require direct relationships. Most of the 100+ platforms are smaller AVOD services where CPM rates are lower and audience sizes are smaller. A documentary filmmaker hoping to reach mainstream audiences will find the Tubi/Plex tier significantly smaller than the major streaming services.
