What We Do
Filmhub is where modern filmmakers distribute their titles directly to streaming services – without giving up their rights or dealing with the traditional distribution pain points and middlemen. Founded by Hollywood composer and innovator Klaus Badelt and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Alan d’Escragnolle, Filmhub takes the entire distribution process online. Filmmakers list their titles and Filmhub's Channel Partners – such as Amazon Prime Video, IMDb TV, The Roku Channel, rlaxx TV, TCL, Tubi, Xumo, and Plex – use the platform for discovery, automated licensing, asset fulfillment, and payment processing.
For filmmakers - getting their stories into the world is a daunting effort. Filmhub makes it easy to get films to worldwide audiences so films have a chance at artistic and commercial success. With easy-to-use tools for licensing, managing and delivering assets, tracking performance, and collecting payments, filmmakers take control of their distribution without having to give up their rights.
