Audience Votes Now Fund Film & TV Projects
12 Oct
Summary
- Watrfall launched a $275,000 creator fund for film and TV pitches.
- Audiences will vote on eligible projects to decide funding recipients.
- Creators retain significant ownership and creative control of their work.
Watrfall, a creator platform co-founded by actor Ron Perlman, is revolutionizing content funding by placing decision-making power in the hands of audiences. The company has initiated a $275,000 creator fund, accepting pitches for original film and TV content until November 15. Selected projects will share the substantial fund, with $150,000 allocated for a feature film and $75,000 for a TV pilot.
Following an initial review by Watrfall executives, eligible projects will be presented to the Watrfall community for a public vote. This innovative approach ensures that creators can bring their visions to life without compromising artistic integrity, a stated goal of co-founder Michael Donovan. Creators will maintain significant intellectual property ownership and creative control.
The Watrfall Community, a free-to-join collective, will soon launch, offering members exclusive benefits and early access to projects. This initiative aims to give audiences a genuine seat at the table, influencing the future of entertainment by shaping content decisions currently held by traditional studios, as highlighted by co-founder Dana Landry.
