For agents, managers and casting directors
Nobody else has a hundred working filmmakers in a single spreadsheet with a reason to open their email. The commission on what your clients earn is capped by your agreement. What the platform earns from them is not part of that agreement at all.
Free to join, and it runs at the agency level rather than personally if you prefer.
01 Where a roster leaks value today
- A client raises their own finishing money and the agency touches none of it, because it was never a booking.
- A hundred clients each paying separate subscriptions to five different platforms, none of which know you exist.
- Packaging work that creates real value for everyone in the room except the person who assembled it.
- A roster you can reach in one email, used only when you have something to sell them.
02 How it works
- 01
Take the code at the agency level
One account, one vanity code, one payout destination. It does not have to sit with a single agent, and the referrals land in a contact book the agency owns.
- 02
Put it where the roster already looks
A signature, an onboarding pack, the quarterly note nobody reads but everybody opens. The link goes to the eight-door start page, so a client picks their own reason to be there.
- 03
Earn on the platform's side of their work
When a client raises on the Film Fund you take 20% of the platform's 5% fee. When they license a script or sell a placement, the same. This is money that never came out of the client's commission.
- 04
And on the boring recurring part
30% of every plan subscription a client takes, on every renewal, for as long as they stay. Across a roster that is the line that compounds.
- 05
Bring the other agencies
Anyone you recruit who runs this themselves pays you 3% of their sales, one level deep. Fixed at one level in config; there is no deeper tier and there never will be.
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.

06 Questions
Does this conflict with our commission agreement?
It is a different pool of money. Your agreement governs your percentage of what the client earns. This is a share of the fee the platform charges, which was never the client's to begin with and is not deducted from anything they receive. That said, read your own paper — we are describing the mechanism, not giving you legal advice.
Do our clients see that we are earning from this?
The program is not secret and we would not help you hide it. Referral codes are visible in the URL and the terms are public. The agencies that do this well tell their roster plainly that the agency has a partnership.
Can we get a bulk arrangement or a custom rate?
The published rates are the rates. What is negotiable at scale is discount codes for your roster — approved affiliates can mint 5, 10 or 15% codes on a first payment — so the client gets something too.
Who owns the referred contacts?
Each referral is created as a client record in your own contact book on the platform, tagged as an affiliate referral, with a touchpoint recording where they came from. It is your list.
What is the payout process?
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.
