I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor, and an artist approached me for a collaboration.
He’s an established singer but isn’t performing as well as he used to. His recent songs don’t get the same number of views anymore, and he’s currently going through financial difficulties, so he can’t pay my usual fee.
Here’s the offer:
I’ll be handling both the cinematography and the editing.
The project will take around 10 days.
He’s covering all my travel and accommodation expenses since I’ll be traveling to his location.
Instead of an upfront payment, I’ll receive 20% of the revenue generated from YouTube and music streaming platforms.
For context, I normally charge ₹5,000 per shooting day (shooting only; editing is usually charged separately).
Would you take this deal? Is 20% of the revenue a fair trade-off, or would you negotiate for some guaranteed payment as well? I’d love to hear from people who’ve done revenue-share collaborations before.

Hey guys!

Founder of 11FPS here

We're hosting an Al Filmmaking Hackathon where teams will receive a theme and create an original Al-powered short film using the latest Al tools.

Al generation credits will be covered by us, so you can focus on building and storytelling.

We signed up an Emmy award winner and big studio heads for a panel discussion and judging for the event :)

Whether you're a filmmaker, designer, developer, editor, content creator, or just curious about Al, you're welcome to participate.

If you want to participate, comment and i will DM you the link

Happy to answer any questions in the comments!

Hey everyone,

I’m incredibly fed up with mainstream cinema and OTT series right now. We are drowning in predictable formulas, stretched-out plots, and low-effort social media skits. Audiences are craving pure, high-voltage entertainment, but the industry isn't delivering it efficiently.

I am in the process of building a new entertainment platform to disrupt this space completely.

We are starting with a mobile-first, vertical format: cinema-grade mini-series with episodes strictly capped at 2.5 minutes.

The vision is proudly Pan-Indian: Real stories from India, for the world. We want to take incredible local settings, raw cultural nuances, fresh concepts (taut thrillers, deep human dramas, psychological mysteries), and pack them into rapid, high-stakes 150-second chapters. No filler scenes, no unnecessary songs, no fluff—just intense, content-oriented storytelling with premium making styles, global pacing, and stunning original background scores.

We want to build a "greenhouse" for incredible stories. If a 2.5-minute episodic series hooks millions of viewers on their phones, that is our proven proof-of-concept to scale those exact IPs into full-length feature films later.

I have the core brand philosophy, the business strategy, and the post-production roadmap ready. Now, I need a hungry, fiercely talented circle of creators who are tired of the mainstream and want to build something monumental from the ground up.

Writers,

Actors,

Musicians,

Visualizers,

Cinematographers.

Actually passionate people , who want to bring a difference

Hello, fellas! Hope you are all doing great.
I'm here to share a few lines about a small independent film I've been involved in, named adhe MAGIC!

We made it on a very limited budget entirely on our own, trying to find a break for ourselves—or, in other words, pave a path into TFI to make great films for you beautiful people and provide you with entertainment.

We went through a lotttttt.... to complete this film, it's been a long...... crazy ride, but I'm not gonna bore you with the details.

We just need a little support from all you awesome people here. Just click on our link, add it to your watchlist, and please watch it in your free time (the faster the better please)
