Fearless is an online streaming platform available on iOS, Android, Web and FireTV. Fearless showcases independent film including features, series, shorts of all genres. This is NOT an in-person film festival, we are online/app only, and we do NOT have the traditional "awards" format. We are the "Netflix" of indie film.
All content types are accepted, however, we wish to encourage the following focus areas especially:
- LGBTQ stories & filmmakers
- Female stories & filmmakers
- Black & Latinx stories
- Indigenous stories
- Stories about people with disabilities
- Diversity, representation and inclusion in film in general.
- Freedom of speech, controversial topics, and challenging conversations.
- Content with strong messaging that drives our world forward (can be scripted, unscripted, or documentary).
FREQUENCY:
This is an ongoing platform, so we add new titles on a regular basis (eg: every Friday). You can submit at any time for consideration for future weeks. In general, you should receive either an approval or a rejection within 2-10 days from the date you submitted it.
DO I GET PAID?
That's up to you. Below is an overview of your two options:
1. You can submit under the Free Agreement which means that your content is added to Fearless and anyone can watch your content for free. You do not earn any revenue from this option as Fearless does not contain ads. This option is best if your focus is on views. You can make your work a Fearless Original (exclusively on Fearless) or you can have your work be non-exclusive and put it in other places in addition to Fearless.
2. The second option is that you license your work under the Standard agreement. You will earn revenue when people watch your work based on a royalty rate calculated based on your movie/show's watch time.
