For photographers and filmmakers

Most of us are doing the same thing.

Producing work, posting it across half a dozen channels, building audiences in places we don't own — and earning almost nothing from it. Years of craft, a real following, and the platforms we publish on weren't designed to pay us.

Authentic Films is a different model.

How it works

Everything is 50/50. Subscription revenue, conversation tickets, all split equally between Authentic Films and you.

No contracts. No lock-in. No upfront cost. Your work stays wherever it already lives.

When the platform grows, everyone earns more. Every artist who joins brings their audience. Every audience grows the platform. Your work doesn't just sit here, it earns. And it keeps earning.

what's on offer

Host your films. If you've made documentary, behind-the-scenes, or video work that's earning almost nothing on YouTube, host it here. It reaches a paying audience and earns a 50/50 share of revenue based on views. Non-exclusive — it stays wherever it already lives.


Join a live conversation. A 40-minute Zoom with an engaged, paying audience. Talk about your work. No preparation, no curriculum, no ongoing commitment. Ticket revenue is split 50/50.


Become a regular contributor. The equivalent of a magazine columnist, produce work on your own terms and earn from it as the audience grows.


Invent your own format. Portfolio walkthroughs, studio tours, magazine launches, slow day work sessions...if you can imagine a way to share your process, this platform can host it and monetise it. You decide what you want to do. We split it 50/50.

The terms

Simple: everything is 50/50. No contracts, no lock-in, no investment required from you.

Your work. Your audience. Your ideas — and a platform that actually pays you for them.
