For actors and performers
An actor meets more of this business than almost anyone in it — a new crew, a new director and a new casting office every job. Between roles that list does nothing at all. It is the single most under-used thing in most careers.
Free to join. Nothing here asks you to sell anything to anyone.
01 What the gaps between jobs actually cost
- A contact list of six hundred people that only gets opened when you need something from it.
- Recommending a platform, a lab or a service to a director and it being worth precisely nothing to you.
- Residuals from work you finished years ago, with no way to ever add another line to them.
- Introducing two people who then close a deal you were never part of and never hear about again.
02 How it works
- 01
Start with the last three jobs
Not the whole list — the people you actually text. A director between projects, the DP who keeps working, the two producers who ask you what you are doing next. That is where the first real sign-ups come from.
- 02
Give them the eight-door page
Your link lands on the OpenFlix start hub, which forks eight ways: stream, theatrical, live, pitch, crowdfund, license, brand deals, and this. They pick what they need. You did not have to explain any of it.
- 03
Put your own work up while you are here
A reel, a short, a self-tape series, a channel. You are not required to — but the actors this works best for are the ones already using the platform, because then the recommendation is a real one.
- 04
Get paid on what they do
30% of any plan they subscribe to, every time it renews. 20% of the platform's fee when they raise on the Film Fund or sell a placement inside their film.
03 What actually pays
- They subscribe to a plan30%of the subscription, on every renewalThe largest rate in the program, and the only one taken off the full price. If you read one row, read this one.
- Their household takes a MovieHop Pass20%of the platform's fee, on every renewalA share of what OpenFlix keeps, not of what the household pays.
- They buy a Station Pass20%of the platform's 20% share of the pass price, on every paymentEach day pass and each monthly payment is its own sale. The processing fee is never part of it.
- They raise money on the Film Fund20%of the platform's 5% feeRewards crowdfunding. Backers get perks and credits; nobody is buying a share of a film.
- They sell a placement inside their film20%of the platform's 10% feeBanked when the balance is collected, not when the slot is reserved.
- They buy credits, on the web or on a television5%of the purchaseIncludes top-ups bought inside the Google Play, Roku and Amazon apps.
- Somebody you brought in does this too3%of their sales, one level deepOne level, by design. This is not a pyramid and it does not pretend to be one.
Rentals, pay-per-view, channel subscriptions and riffs are bought with credits — and those credits already paid you a commission when they were bought. They appear in your dashboard as activity, so you can see your people are actually using the place, and they earn nothing a second time.
Commissions clear a 45-day window against refunds and chargebacks before they can be withdrawn. New affiliates start on Bronze — a 90-day hold and a $500 minimum — and the tier ladder shortens both as you build a payout record. Every payout is released by a person, never automatically. Identity verification is required to withdraw, never to earn.
04 What the dashboard shows
Every person, and what they actually did.
Referrals are not a number on a card. Each one is a row: who joined, what they did here, what it earned, and when it clears.
Director, feature you shot in 2024
Casting associate
Two crew from the same unit
First AD
Rows marked as activity are real referrals who have not bought anything that earns a second commission. They are shown so the list is honest, not to pad it.
05 The terms, briefly
On a plan subscription
30%
Of the full price, on every renewal.
On a Film Fund raise
20%
Of the platform's 5% fee — not of the raise.

06 Questions
I do not want to spam people I work with.
Then do not. The people this works for send it to a handful of directors and producers they already talk to, or put the code in a bio and leave it there. A link nobody asked for is worth nothing anyway — an unattributed sign-up pays exactly the same as no sign-up.
Does my agent need to know?
This is not representation and it is not employment; it is a referral arrangement between you and the platform. Whether it touches your agency agreement is a question for your agent, and the answer usually is that it does not.
Will this get me cast?
No. It is an income stream, not a casting service. If you want to be seen, put work on the platform — that is a different door on the same hub, and it is free.
What does it cost me?
Nothing to join, and approved affiliates get the top plan free while they are active.
