First things first

What is this, exactly?

A new streaming platform from Raindance, home of the UK's biggest independent film festival.

It gives independent filmmakers a permanent digital home, not just for one week at a festival, but all year round.

Brand new technology built for independent filmmakers. It powers Raindance Releasing behind the scenes.

You get one account, your film streams on Raindance, and it comes with every Hiway tool.

Why this is different

Your fans, your data

Every viewer who watches your film goes into your own CRM. Talk to them for your next film and build a real fanbase.

Paid direct

Receive your share of every rental straight into your bank, immediately and automatically.
