# Cineshort — Global Distribution & Licensing for Short Films

## What Cineshort Is
Cineshort is an AI-powered distribution and licensing platform built specifically for short films. We connect independent filmmakers with streaming platforms, broadcasters, and digital channels worldwide — handling curation, metadata enrichment, technical delivery, and revenue collection in one streamlined workflow.

## Who Cineshort Is For
- **Filmmakers & Producers** — Independent creators, film schools, and production companies who want global reach for their short-form content without negotiating separate deals with every platform.
- **Streaming Platforms & Channels** — AVOD, SVOD, FAST, and cable channels that need curated short film libraries with clean rights, technical specs, and AI-matched audience fit.
- **Festivals & Aggregators** — Organisations looking for turnkey distribution partnerships for their programming.

## How It Works
1. **Submit** — Filmmakers submit their short film through a guided onboarding process ($49 submission + $49.99 onboarding).
2. **AI Curation** — Our AI analyses story structure, pacing, and genre fit to match films with the best platform partners.
3. **Delivery** — We handle transcoding, subtitle integration, metadata packaging, and DRM where required.
4. **Distribute** — Films are placed on 20+ streaming platforms worldwide.
5. **Revenue Share** — Filmmakers earn 50% of all licensing and ad-revenue generated (70% on the Pro Plan). Payouts are automated monthly.
