More than 20 films backed by Kickstarter are set to stream exclusively on Tubi beginning this fall, as the Fox-owned service teams up with the crowdfunding platform to expand its catalog and support emerging filmmakers.
The partnership also includes Tubi investing in Kickstarter’s FilmStream Collective Fund, which provides financial assistance to emerging filmmakers completing projects. The companies plan to pledge directly to 10 specific Kickstarter-funded movies; those films will stream exclusively on Tubi for three months after they are finished.
Kickstarter CEO Everette Taylor called the agreement an expansion of the company’s mission to empower creators. He said working with Tubi could help reduce barriers for filmmakers and give their work visibility with global audiences.
Tubi CEO Anjali Sud pointed to the exposure the films could receive after their streaming debuts and described the service as “the home for the next generation of Hollywood talent.”
The companies have not disclosed the exact number of films to be distributed, when they will become available, or how much Tubi will invest in the FilmStream Collective Fund.
