How it works

The deal

Two-year non-exclusive licence with a 90-day exit. You earn 55 percent of net platform revenue; PYLON’s 45 percent share funds distribution and operations. You keep your name above the title and every other distribution right: festivals, your own site, direct screenings, anywhere.

What we need

A finished short, an AI-provenance disclosure, evidence of human creative contribution, and source-asset clearance. Curators score human creative contribution on a six-criterion rubric and share the score with you.

How payout works

55 percent of net platform revenue is shared by watch time and paid monthly via Stripe from day one. Below $25 carries to next month. Supported in 40+ countries.

Rights and slate fit

You keep your underlying IP. PYLON reviews for audience fit, release shape, and whether the concept belongs on the curated Originals slate.

Questions, answered

  • How do I submit a series or film?

    Join the Studio waitlist. We are prioritising serialised shorts, finished pilots, teasers, and creative decks for psychological thriller series.

  • Do you take exclusive rights?

    No. The licence is non-exclusive on the PYLON surface. You keep all other distribution rights: festivals, your own site, direct screenings, anywhere.

  • Can I apply with a deck before the film is finished?

    Yes. If the concept is strong, you can submit a creative deck for the Originals slate. We look for a clear season engine, episode shape, visual world, and production path.

  • When and how am I paid?

    Monthly, from day one, via Stripe. 55 percent of net platform revenue is shared by watch time. Below $25 carries to the next month.

  • What kind of projects fit PYLON?

    Psychological thrillers, paranoia stories, mystery dramas, and character-led suspense that can sustain a focused season or compact film release.
