Kickstarter x Tubi: FilmStream Collective Fund

A new initiative helping independent filmmakers get funded and streamed.

Introducing the FilmStream Collective Fund, [ https://updates.kickstarter.com/kickstarter-and-tubi/ ] a new initiative created in partnership with Tubi to empower independent filmmakers with the funding and distribution support they need to share their films with the world. Their final film will then stream on Tubi, providing guaranteed distribution and visibility on a platform where viewers watched more than 10 billion hours in 2024.

The fund is designed to support filmmakers with final or near-final cuts, helping them cover critical post-production costs such as editing, sound, marketing, and other finish expenses to prepare their films for release.

Submit [ https://sq0dl.share.hsforms.com/2dG6NTPp2Szm9K9uSWEOelw ] your project for consideration now through August 31, 2025.
