DIRECTOR & WRITER IVAN shares the inspiration behind his upcoming short film, "Express." 🎬 It follows a young workaholic who gets the opportunity of a lifetime but sacrifices his relationships in the process.

This film dives deep into the reality of chasing success and the crucial lesson of finding work-life balance. Sometimes the stories we tell are the lessons we're learning ourselves.

Stay tuned for more updates on "Express"!

A Filmmaker’s take on the hardships behind creating a movie

🎬 Untold Stories, Seen and Heard: The Filmmaker's Journey! 🎥

In this clip, filmmaker Maria shares her candid journey, a path often fraught with challenges faced by many independent creators. The question, "What was your journey like as a filmmaker?" opens the door to the realities of the industry—especially the struggle for distribution.

Did you know? Many indie filmmakers, despite investing significant time and money (often $5,000 to $100,000+), find their projects get "lost in the noise," struggling for visibility both internationally and in their local markets. The complexity and high cost of traditional distribution are major roadblocks.

✨ How UntoldCine Solves the Indie Distribution Problem:

UntoldCine is a platform that directly tackles this critical issue for independent filmmakers. We're an innovative streaming platform and ecosystem designed to:

Provide Visibility: We ensure independent films receive the exposure they need to reach broader, targeted audiences.

Simplify Distribution: We break down the costly and complex barriers of traditional distribution, making it easier for creators to share their work.

Empower Creators: Our mission extends beyond hosting content; we support filmmakers from development to financing and production, offering programs like the Untold Artist Program and the Untoldcine Accelerator Program to lift them up at every stage.
