ReelClaim — by GriotHaus

Creator-Owned
Distribution.

Distribute your film worldwide. Keep every right. Own your audience data forever. Build a filmmaking business — not a one-shot deal.

99% of independent filmmakers lose their rights the moment they sign a distribution deal. ReelClaim gives them back.

The Problem

"Marginalized storytellers create the culture.
Then sign away ownership for 'access.'"

of independent filmmakers lose control of their rights through traditional distribution deals.

audience data returned to creators across FilmHub, Seed&Spark, and Vimeo OTT. You build the audience. They keep the data.

Community Investment

Your Stake.

No platform in this space lets creators own part of what they build. GriotHaus does. The people who make this platform real should share in what it becomes.

Now Open
Phase 01

Founding Creator Circle

The first 100 creators who join ReelClaim aren't users. They're founding members with structural standing from day one.

  • Permanently locked lower platform fee
  • Named founding member status
  • Seat on the Creator Advisory Council
  • First access to every new feature
  • Documented path to equity eligibility
Phase 02 — Year 1–2

Community Investment Round

GriotHaus opens a Regulation CF community investment round — available to every creator on the platform, not just accredited investors.

  • Invest as little as $500 — become a shareholder
  • Real equity, not tokens or loyalty points
  • Founding creators get first access at best terms
  • Raise up to $5M from the creator community
Phase 03 — Year 2–3

Creator Council

Creators who reach deal volume thresholds earn governance seats with real voting power over platform decisions.

  • Vote on fee structures and platform policies
  • Influence product direction and new features
  • Profit distributions proportional to contribution
  • Co-op model: platform success = creator success
50

We're looking for the first 50.

If you've made a film the industry wasn't built to distribute — if you've signed deals that took more than they gave — if you believe the storyteller should own the story — this is for you.

Locked In
Your platform fee never increases. Founding terms are permanent.
Equity Path
First access to the community investment round at founding-member terms.
Governance
A real seat on the Creator Advisory Council. Your voice shapes this platform.

Application-based. 50 spots. No fee to apply.

"The stories of marginalized communities are not content to be aggregated.
They are culture to be stewarded. GriotHaus exists because the people
who create the stories should be the ones who own them."
