A viewer who rents a 90-minute film on DirectCut for $2.99 pays $3.57 at checkout. The extra 58 cents covers streaming and card processing, and the filmmaker gets $2.39. I wrote up how the rest of the site works on a new features page.

Put it on the Most Wanted board: directcut.co/wanted Anyone can upvote an ask, and the top of that list is who I go knock on doors for.

What's a film you caught once at a festival and have never been able to find since?

If you make films, sign in at directcut.co/upload, tell me what you make, and I'll turn uploads on. If you'd never list here, reply with the reason. That's the feedback I want most right now.

I look at every film before it goes live, and I turn uploads on one account at a time. I'd rather open with ten films people chose to put here than a thousand that got dumped.

I built DirectCut, a place to rent independent films straight from the people who made them. The filmmaker sets the price and keeps a flat 80% of it. This thread covers why we exist and how to publish one of the first films available. 🧵
