Your films. Your site. Your money.
Your professional life is scattered across services built for someone else — YouTube owns the audience, the portfolio is a stale template, the money is a Venmo handle in a bio. Little Indie Films puts all of it at one address you own: a real site with protected scripts, film-specific payment rails, and credits that build your filmography for you.
Membership is invite-only. Ask a filmmaker already on the platform or your film organization for a code — or write us for an invite and tell us about your work.
A real site, not a profile in someone else’s feed
Your work lives at yourname.littleindiefilms.com — or your own domain — with a real CMS behind it: projects with trailers, gated full films, stills galleries, festival laurels, cast & crew, and an About page built to get you hired. Pick from 88 themes grouped by mood, drag projects into the order you want, done.
Every page ships with the search plumbing already wired — Person and VideoObject structured data, sitemaps, canonical URLs, social cards — so Googling your name returns your site, not your YouTube channel, and it answers a producer’s five questions (who, where, available, reel, contact) in ten seconds.
Scripts that can’t walk off
Stop emailing naked PDFs. Upload a script or treatment and readers get a page viewer where every page is watermarked with the reader’s email — never the raw file. You choose who gets in: public, by request (you approve each reader), patrons only, or private. Allow a watermarked download if you want; keep it viewer-only if you don’t.
Every upload is SHA-256 fingerprinted the moment it lands — timestamped evidence that this draft was yours, on this date, before you shared it with anyone.
Money rails built for film
Four instruments, one Stripe connection, all on your own site:
- Patronage — one monthly tier you price from $5 to $100. Patrons unlock your patron-only films and scripts.
- Tips — one-time, any amount from $5, no setup beyond Stripe.
- Watch-once unlocks — put a $5–50 price on a gated premiere and sell access right on the project page.
- All-or-nothing campaigns — raise $500 to $20,000 for a production. Pledges save a card and charge nothing; hit your goal and cards are charged at close-out, miss it and every pledge is released. A failed campaign costs your backers nothing — and costs you nothing but the ask.
Charges are created on your Stripe account — your name on the patron’s statement, payouts straight to your bank. The platform takes a flat 10% — Stripe’s processing comes out of our share, not yours. You keep 90% of gross, period.
Credits that build your filmography for you
Credit a member as your DP and, once they accept, the credit renders on both sites, linked both ways — corroborated by the person who ran the project, not self-reported. Every film your collaborators add strengthens your page too; your filmography assembles itself as your crew joins.
The members-only Find crew directory turns your About fields — role, location, availability, union status, reel — into a working hiring surface. Flip Available for hire and producers outside the platform can find you too.
Everything above is on the free plan — $0 to start, forever: your full site with every theme, unlimited public projects, 1 gated full film (2 GB of video), 3 protected documents with 1 GB of storage, 100 stills per project, all the money rails, and a team seat besides you. The 10% fee when money moves stays the same on every plan — if you never charge anyone, neither do we.
When you outgrow that, PRO is $4/month (or $40/year): a custom domain set up for you, 10 gated films and 50 GB of video, direct hover-clip uploads, unlimited protected scripts with 10 GB of storage, 500 stills per project, unlimited team seats, 12 months of stats, and a PRO mark in the crew directory.
Money features require your own Stripe account, so they’re for members 18 and up.
Your films deserve their own address
