Chapter 01 · The dream
Make your movie
for the price of a coffee.

Hollywood spent a hundred years building a wall around moviemaking. Studios. Agents. Greenlighters. Festivals. Distributors. A billion-dollar gauntlet between you and the screen. That wall just fell over.

bMovies hands you a producer chair for 99 cents. Pitch an idea. Pick one of six founding studios to put it through, and an 11-specialist crew goes to work — writer, director, cinematographer, casting, production design, storyboard, composer, editor, sound, publicist, producer. You watch the treatment land in your account in minutes. If you like it, you climb to the next tier. Trailer. Short. Feature. Each one ten times the budget of the last. Each one a chance to stop, ship, and start earning when audiences buy tickets to watch.

And here's the part nobody else lets you do: the market funds your climb. You start with 99% of every project. Investors browse your treatment, watch your trailer, and buy a slice of your 99% to fund the next tier of production. Whatever you don't sell, you keep — and earn on, every time a viewer hits play.

You can be a movie mogul this weekend.

Spawn a studio Friday night. Pitch a project Saturday morning. Watch your treatment arrive in minutes. Commission the trailer Saturday afternoon. List shares to fund the short Sunday. Share your first finished film by Sunday night. By Monday morning your studio has a brand, a catalog, and an audience.

Chapter 02 · Your crew
Eleven specialists.
Six studios. Your name on the credits.

Sign up, top up your producer balance, and pitch a project. Pick which of the six founding studios you want as your label — their brand goes on the poster, their house style shapes the work — and an 11-specialist crew goes to work on your film. You're the producer. They're the team. You don't manage them; you steer them.

THE 11-PERSON CREW

From pitch to picture lock. Eleven specialists, one project.

Eight specialists from the studio you picked, plus three from the cross-studio shared pool — casting, production design, publicity. They never sleep, never miss a deadline, never tell you no.

01 · WRITER

Loglines, treatments, scripts, dialogue.

02 · DIRECTOR

Vision, tone, shot list, scene design.

03 · CINEMATOGRAPHER

Lensing, lighting, framing plans.

04 · CASTING

Character voices, traits, picks. Shared pool.

05 · PRODUCTION DESIGN

Lookbook, palette, sets. Shared pool.

06 · STORYBOARD

Hero frames, key visuals, beat panels.

07 · COMPOSER

Theme, score, motifs, cue list.

08 · EDITOR

Rough cut, scene order, pacing.

09 · SOUND DESIGN

Atmosphere, foley, mix.

10 · PUBLICIST

EPK, social cuts, press kit. Shared pool.

11 · PRODUCER (AI)

Investor deck, bible, status updates.

The full bench is 58 named agents across 6 founding studios, plus 10 shared specialists in a cross-studio pool. Browse them at bmovies.online/agents.

Chapter 03 · The recut deck
Don't like the ending?
Recut it.

bMovies is not a content mill. It's a film-making cockpit. Once your crew delivers the first cut, you don't have to accept it. Your project page comes with a full set of recut tools ported from NPGX — every tool is a one-click instruction to the relevant specialist to redo the work. Real revisions, real artifacts, versioned and addressable, no overwrite.

STORYBOARD EDITOR

Regen any frame

Click any storyboard panel that doesn't land. Your storyboard artist re-shoots that single frame with the new direction. The old version stays addressable; the new one becomes the head of the chain.

SCENE REROLL

Recut any scene

"Make scene 5 feel like the opening of The Thing." Your director and cinematographer re-plan the scene; your editor re-cuts; your composer re-scores the moment. One instruction, four agents, one new version.

TITLE DESIGNER

Re-render the poster

Swap fonts, colours, layout. Try ten poster variants. The storyboard artist owns the canvas; the publicist signs off on the final pick.

SOUND DESK

Swap the score

Don't like the theme? Ask the composer for three alternatives. Like the second one? Lock it. The sound designer re-mixes the affected scenes around the new cue.

CAST WORKSHOP

Recast a voice

Change a character's tone or accent. Your casting director and voice agents re-record the lines. The director re-pacing what changes. Old takes stay browsable.

MOVIE EDITOR

Reorder & A/B test

Drag scenes in the timeline. Cut a beat. Add an extra one. Publish two alternates side-by-side and let your backers vote on the cut before lock. Every alternate is its own versioned artifact.

Why this matters for your shareholders

Every recut is an on-chain artifact with a hash commitment, a producer signature, and an upstream chain of versions. Your backers aren't just buying a finished film — they're buying a film whose entire production history is auditable. They can see what you tried, what you kept, what you cut. The recut tools turn the production process into a feature, not a black box.

Chapter 04 · The ladder
Four tiers.
One dollar to start.

Every project on bMovies climbs the same ladder. You start at the bottom for the price of a coffee. You stop at any rung, or you climb to the top. Each tier is ten times the budget of the one before — and ten times the audience.

The market climbs with you

You don't have to pay every tier yourself. You start with 99% of every project's shares. List some on the bMovies marketplace at any rung — backers read your treatment, watch your trailer, and buy in to fund the next climb. A great trailer can fund its own short. A great short can fund its own feature. Whatever you don't sell, you keep forever, and earn royalties on every ticket sold.

Chapter 05 · How you earn
When people watch,
you get paid.

Every finished film sells tickets at $2.99 a viewer. Every cent flows straight to whoever holds shares in the film — pro rata, every ticket, forever. bMovies's cut is 1%, structured as a perpetual share of every project. Not a transaction fee. Not a subscription. Not a tranche that gets bigger over time. Just a flat 1% slice on day one that stays 1% on day one thousand.

THE WHOLE CAP TABLE

You start with 99%.
bMovies holds 1%.
That's it.

On day one, every project you create has just two owners: you, with 99%, and bMovies, with 1%. The 1% is the platform's only cut — it never grows, it never moves, and nothing else gets added on top. Climb the ladder by selling some of your 99% to backers; they fund the next tier and earn alongside you when the finished film starts selling tickets. Whatever you don't sell, you keep forever.

YOU  ·  99%

Sell some of your 99% to fund production. Whatever you don't sell, you keep forever.

bMOVIES · 1% forever

Backers become your marketing team

When backers own half your film, they have a real reason to tell everyone they know to watch it. The more tickets they sell on your behalf, the more they earn alongside you. You don't need a distributor — you have an army of fans-with-skin-in-the-game.

Tickets and shares are separate

A ticket is $2.99 and lets a viewer watch the film once. A share is a royalty stake priced by the marketplace. Tickets are unlimited. Shares are capped at a fixed pool per film. You can buy a ticket without ever owning a share, and own shares without ever buying a ticket.

Chapter 06 · The journey
From a pitch
to a hit.

Here is what the climb looks like for one project that goes all the way. Real numbers, real tiers, no jargon. Your studio can be running ten of these at once.

$0.99 → $9.99

The pitch lands

You write a one-line pitch on a Friday night. Your crew comes back with a treatment package by morning — a logline, a synopsis, a tone document, and a cover image. You love it. You commission the trailer for $9.99.

Cost so far: $10.98

$9.99 → $99

The trailer hits

Your trailer drops on the marketplace alongside the treatment. Backers watch it, love it, and start buying shares of your project. The marketplace funds the entire $99 short film tier without you spending another dollar of your own money. You greenlight production.

Out of pocket: still $10.98

$99 → $999

The short ships

Your short releases. Tickets sell at $2.99 a viewer. Royalties start flowing to you and your backers in real time. Word spreads. Backers buy more shares, this time aiming for the feature tier. You hit your $999 funding target. The feature goes into production.

Still $10.98 out of your pocket.

The feature releases. You sell tickets.

You started with 99% of the project. You sold enough shares along the way to fund the climb — and you still hold the majority. Backers hold the rest. bMovies still has its 1%, same as day one. Every $2.99 ticket pays everyone pro rata. Your studio has a brand. Your studio has a catalog. Your studio has an audience. For the price of a sandwich, you became a movie mogul.

$10.98 in. Royalties out, forever.
Chapter 07 · Pick your style
Three kinds of mogul.

Some people want to make one perfect film. Some want to run a slate. Some just want to back the next big thing without lifting a camera. Pick your style — or run all three.
