A new streaming platform aimed at independent film and supporting independent filmmakers has been unveiled.

The Drive-In, a TVOD service that will operate within independent film and TV discovery app RecDek, is set to launch in October during the London Film Festival and with a founding cohort of indie filmmakers.

The service will stream directly from the filmmaker’s library within the platform, which its says means that “nothing is handed over, re-uploaded or locked away.” Producers will also set their own price and keep receipts from first sale, will be able to see real time audience data and will retain their IP. If they sell a territory to a traditional distributor they have the ability to remove that territory from The Drive-In instantly.
