Kickstarter x Tubi: FilmStream Collective Fund

Kickstarter is pleased to introduce the FilmStream Collective Fund, 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.

How It Works:

• Launch your Kickstarter film campaign anytime between now and August 31, 2025. Please note that you can apply before your campaign is live, but you must launch your campaign by the end of August in order to be eligible for the fund.
• Apply for the FilmStream Collective Fund

What You Get:

• A $10,000 pledge to your live Kickstarter campaign.
• The opportunity to have your film stream exclusively on Tubi this Fall for 3 months.
• Receive a split of the revenue generated by the viewership of your film on Tubi (Note: Kickstarter will distribute revenue funds to each filmmaker.)

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must launch a Feature-length film campaign on Kickstarter.
• Must own full rights to the project.
• Commit to a 3-month exclusive distribution on Tubi.

Even if you’re not selected for the fund, your film could still be featured in Kickstarter’s curated film collection on Tubi this fall. Read more about Kickstarter’s partnership with Tubi here.
