A new digital streaming platform, Flixora, has entered the global entertainment market with a mission to make film distribution more accessible to independent creators, offering filmmakers a direct route to audiences while allowing them to retain a greater share of their earnings.
The platform, which officially launched on June 1, 2026, debuted with approximately 30 original films available for streaming and is positioning itself as an alternative to traditional distribution channels that many emerging filmmakers say remain difficult to access because of high costs, limited visibility and the dominance of established studios.
According to the company, Flixora was developed to help filmmakers, production studios and content owners distribute and monetise their movies instantly across international markets without relying on conventional gatekeepers or complex distribution networks.
The company said its model is designed to address longstanding challenges faced by independent creators, including restricted access to major streaming services, limited monetisation opportunities and difficulties reaching global audiences.
By providing a direct-to-consumer streaming infrastructure, Flixora enables content creators to upload, manage, market and sell their films while maintaining control over pricing, audience reach and revenue generation.
Speaking on the launch, Martins Osuofia, founder of Flixora, said the platform is focused on creating a new framework for movie distribution that prioritises accessibility and creator ownership.
“Flixora isn’t trying to replicate the traditional streaming model and compete on that level. We’re creating a brand new structure for global film distribution, one built around accessibility, creator ownership and direct audience reach,” Osuofia said.
The platform enters a streaming market that has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by rising internet penetration, increased smartphone adoption and growing demand for on-demand entertainment. However, independent filmmakers often struggle to secure distribution deals or gain visibility on larger streaming platforms where competition for audience attention is intense.
Flixora said its solution is designed to level the playing field by giving smaller creators an opportunity to earn income and gain recognition regardless of their existing audience size.
Under the platform’s creator model, filmmakers pay a subscription fee of $100 per month, allowing them to upload an unlimited number of movies for consideration. All submitted content undergoes a review process to ensure quality standards are met before being made available to viewers.
The company noted that if submitted films fail to meet approval requirements, the subscription fee is refunded to the filmmaker.
To maintain content quality, only original films submitted by their creators are accepted on the platform. Movies must have a minimum running time of 30 minutes, while eligible content spans a broad range of genres, including fictional productions, documentaries, educational films and music-related content. Pornographic and illegal material are prohibited.
Flixora also enables content owners to determine the countries where their films will be available and provides earnings projections based on audience reach and consumption patterns.
One of the platform’s key selling points is its revenue-sharing model. According to the company, filmmakers retain all earnings generated from their content up to a revenue threshold of $1 million, with no commission deducted by Flixora.
The platform’s management believes this approach could help independent producers build sustainable income streams while reducing dependence on traditional intermediaries.
For viewers, Flixora offers both pay-per-view and subscription options. Users can watch individual movies for $1 per session or subscribe to a premium package priced at $5 per month for unlimited access to available content.
The platform incorporates voice-enabled search capabilities, allowing users to locate films based on genre, subject matter or release date. Viewers can also search for titles using voice commands, a feature aimed at improving content discovery and user convenience.
Another feature introduced by the platform is a shared viewing option for premium subscribers. The functionality enables users to invite friends to watch films simultaneously from different locations, with the host controlling playback while participants follow the movie in real time.
According to the company, the feature is intended to recreate the communal movie-watching experience through digital connectivity.
Andrew Stevens, writer and producer of “The Incredible True Story of 100 Dates in Dallas”, said the model could help reduce barriers that often prevent filmmakers from reaching audiences and generating revenue from their work.
“Flixora’s model reduces barriers to entry in the entertainment industry by giving creators such as myself the tools needed to distribute content professionally through a digital-first platform. I am very excited at the prospective opportunities to connect directly with global audiences and to earn directly from day one,” Stevens said.
The company said its broader objective is to democratise both movie production and movie consumption by making film distribution and access more affordable and inclusive for creators and audiences worldwide.
