Why OneReel

Buy the film, not the plan.

Every great director made shorts nobody could buy. We got tired of watching brilliant work vanish into a feed while the platform kept the money. So we built the smallest possible thing: a film, a price, and a payout that goes straight to the maker.

What we walked away from

All-you-can-watch subscriptions— where the maker sees pennies of your plan.
The infinite feed— where brilliant work vanishes twelve rows down.
Algorithmic “more like this”— instead of the film you actually came for.
Bare tip jars— support with no film attached.

The smallest possible fix

Find a film

The maker's name is on every film, above the fold. You always know whose work you're looking at.

Back it

One film, one price — no bundle math hiding who got paid. Support is one click from the film itself.

It reaches the maker

Your payment goes straight to the maker. We keep the path short, and we say it plainly — no invented percentages.

You found the filmmaker first. Backing them should mean something — and reach them.
