Company Description
Fylm TV is a creator economy platform offering a Netflix-style viewing experience, curating high-quality independent films, shorts, and series while giving filmmakers built-in monetization and audience engagement tools. As films gain views, revenue, and engagement, IP buyers and studios can track traction to pursue acquisition deals through the platform. We operate on a freemium model and generate revenue through advertising, subscriptions, and marketplace commissions of merch & IP deals.

Within this initiative, we are hosting the Fylm TV Film Festival, creating a space for filmmakers, entertainment tech startups, and IP executives to connect. The event will feature a range of activities, including film screenings, networking events, workshops, and exhibitor booths. This will be our first event, currently scheduled for November 2026.
