How this works

1

Built to remove gatekeeping

Independent filmmakers should not need a studio relationship, expensive aggregator package, or endless unanswered emails to begin a streaming distribution conversation. WatchVIM is designed as a filmmaker-first platform that helps creators package, submit, promote, and report on their titles with clear requirements and accessible pricing.

2

Free distribution path

Eligible filmmakers can submit for WatchVIM platform consideration and receive Amazon Prime Video submission support with no upfront distribution fee. Final publication, storefront acceptance, and go-live timing are subject to each platform’s review, technical requirements, and approval process.

3

Extended distribution for $39.99/year

Creators who want wider reach can choose annual extended distribution support for iTunes / Apple TV, Tubi, Roku, and Google Play. This option is built for indie filmmakers who need affordable platform delivery without losing control of their work.

Who this is for

WatchVIM is especially focused on Black independent cinema, LGBTQ+ stories, diverse filmmakers, micro-budget features, documentaries, web series, shorts, faith-based titles, horror, drama, and original voices that deserve a streaming home.
