We want to provide any size studio & independent film maker the power to unify marketing and self-distribution for cloud-based theatrical and post-theatrical (long-tail) releases.

Also we want the film rights holder to keep

a lionshare (~95%) of generated revenue
unlike other currently available platforms.

Mission

Problem

Marketing and distribution of films on today's cloud is fragmented by third-party services and studio "+" paywalls. Their business models unoriginally fail to emulate classic and most lucrative per-title box office biz model used by conventional movie theaters.

Solution: Disrupt Disruption

Hybrid business model involving a
viral white-label box office-based player ...

Netflix (paywall) + Youtube (viral) = Cinemacloud*

(* our technology is fully derived, doesn't rely on either service)
 

Youtube leveraged Flash's/HTML popularity with <embed> tag allowing video to spread 'virally' in new digital consumer marketing ecosystems.

Netflix later popularized mass-licensing paywall service for flat-rate watching an ever-changing movie/show library. Now they're becoming a dominant studio themselves and are usurping Hollywood's talent pool and consumers.

Solution Flow

• Content ingested via physical ISO video_ts filesystem
• Ingest discovers film's production credits & technical A/V metadata from several disparate APIs.
• Publishers then configure box office settings like lease or own price, social network white/blacklist, and A/V transcoding settings to H.265
• Publish and take player <embed> code into native marketing context(s): film's or studio's domain, social media, any third-party site, or physical ad QR code.

Since the mid 2000's Internet video has began flourishing largely due to Youtube followed by Hulu shortly after.

Then, by turn of the decade, Netflix was rapidly redefining how production quality cinema was distributed and monetized post-theatrically and non-physically.

Since then the film industry ("biz") hasn't tended to innovate technically beyond improving the perceptual quality and special effects in films. They forfeited evolving marketing & distribution tech instead cornering just consumer tech w/ traditional licensing deals to 'disruptive' Silicon Valley-based platforms with exception being M-Go & Hulu as biz/Hollywood natives.
