About Yekra

1. For Filmmakers:

Born from the creative team behind the pioneering distribution strategy of THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take?, YEKRA is a revolutionary self-serve marketing and distribution platform that makes it easy for you to monetize your content digitally, at a marginal cost.

YEKRA provides a powerful suite of tools that makes your film available wherever you determine, at a price that you select , while you retain your own rights and a meaningful and transparent share of all of the revenue it generates, at all times.

As a bonus YEKRA offers some really useful inbuilt marketing tools too. These will help you build a fan base and market your film effectively around the world. They include:

  • Geo-blocking
  • Local Pricing
  • Email Campaign Marketing
  • Customized Branding
  • Social Media Integration
  • Robust Affiliate Program
  • SEO

No longer do content producers require a distribution deal to be able to release their content day and date around the world as YEKRA can be accessed from every connected device. If you do have a deal in place, YEKRA can work with your existing distribution partners directly or simply geo-block the territories that you do not want to make your content available to, opening up new revenue generating possibilities for unsold territories.

The central functionality of the YEKRA platform is a full featured modular video solution, with a paywall that travels, offering pay-per-stream or personalized subscription options direct from your website and beyond. This player, whether it be found on your own website, on your Facebook page or wall, or on a blog that is pushing your film out to their community for a share of the revenue it generates, eliminates the problem that currently lies between letting viewers know that your content is available, and making it available, thus facilitating immediate fulfillment of the call to action - a purchase of your film, wherever the viewer may be.

An exciting free market for film is emerging and we are proud to be leading the way.

2. For Film Lovers:

YEKRA presents a variety of fresh independent content for you to watch, enjoy, review, share and gift to your community. Whenever you want it, wherever you may be, on whatever connected device you are using.

Watch online day and date premieres from the comfort of your own home, discover festival award winning films you've never seen before, gift independent gems from years gone by, tap into the latest film that is trending amongst your peers or simply analyze the online film marketplace.

Every piece of content we offer is offered at a price and under parameters that are determined by the filmmaker. This is because YEKRA is focussed on offering a model that provides real possibility of recoupment on investment so that the filmmakers you love can go on to make another film for you to watch (and love) in the future. Despite the big box office numbers you see coming out of Hollywood each week, this critical requirement seldom gets realized and consequently the creative pool is drying up.

We don't want that to happen. As a result, YEKRA pledges allegiance to the independent filmmaking community because we want to see it flourish. If you feel the same way then we ask you to start watching, sharing and gifting your favorite content on our platform, wherever you are.
