Streamer Cinema

Welcome to the humble beginnings of Streamer Cinema

Streamer Cinema is a (proposed) movie streaming co-op for filmmakers and movie-lovers. This co-op operates to benefit and empower you, the co-op members.

Here’s why you need Streamer Cinema

For Movie Watchers / Lovers

Co-op profits get distributed to YOU, the co-op members.

As a co-op member, you now own the movie platform and a share of the profits.

Reasonable Prices

Pay $10 in the theater for $0.75 worth of popcorn? No thanks! That’s excessive.
$30 for early access streaming of a movie? Wow! That’s excessive.
As a co-op, we can reduce, or keep in check, the price to stream a movie without commercials.

When there are fewer middlemen and people in power inserting their profit requirements, your movie experience gets more affordable.

No Pulp Fiction?

The current system tends to squash out of existence the creativity and groundbreaking talents of up-and-coming screenwriters, independent filmmakers, and underrepresented voices.
Example: A filmmaker pours several years and their heart and soul into finally making a cool movie. It gets decent reviews and lots of people watching. And all the blood, sweat and tears gets rewarded with… diddly squat… while the people in power sit back and make a tidy profit. At this point, most people are forced to throw in the towel and look for a better way to earn a living.
What if movies like Pulp Fiction had never been made? What if the creatives behind movies like Pulp Fiction had been forced into other careers after their first movies?

When you’re a co-op member, you’re helping to create better filmmakers and cooler movies.

It’s a win-win situation. Check out the Membership Details page, and definitely sign up for the free newsletter.

For Filmmakers

Essential, Positive Change

You know how a popular song might be streamed millions of times but the musician barely receives enough for a box of Kleenex? A similar scenario has/is happening to independent filmmakers. Streamer Cinema is how you can adapt to the times.

As a co-op member, you now own the movie platform and have a large audience.
Bypass unscrupulous gatekeepers, mean middlemen, and greedy people in power.
Your creativity. Your hard work. Your ideas. You are the one who should be rewarded for your efforts.

The Best Deal

The top streaming services are creating and controlling more and more of their own content.
Those streaming services now have less of a need for your films.
As a result, those streaming services now have little incentive to give you, or your distributor, a good deal.

However, co-op members get the best deal. The savings, profits, and power get distributed to YOU, the co-op members.

Supply and Demand

Quality aside, anyone can make a film nowadays, even if it’s just with their smartphone.
Streaming services (including the ones that don’t make their own content) have lots to choose from and there’s more every week.
The bar to get your film out there rises higher and higher, while the streaming services pay lower and lower.

That’s the law of supply and demand.

The expectation, goal and intention of co-op membership is to make this a much better deal for you than anywhere else.

Unscrupulous Gatekeepers

Technology has transformed the world of filmmaking and movie-watching.
What hasn’t changed is the presence of unscrupulous gatekeepers, mean middlemen, and greedy people in power.
Never has it been easier for them to take advantage of your hard work and creativity.

This is your reality as an independent filmmaker.

Fortunately, you CAN adapt to the times!
