Get paid for a recommendation you'd make anyway

You already point filmmakers at the tools that make the work easier. Do it with your link on it, and you get paid every month they stay.

It fits best if you teach, run a channel or a newsletter, put on a festival, or sell services to shoots.

Why partner with CSF

The deal, in plain words.

Recurring commission

You earn a share of what each filmmaker pays, every month, for as long as your agreement runs.

A generous window

The cookie lasts 60 days. A filmmaker who reads your post today and pays for CSF a month later is still yours.

Real-time dashboard

Your own link and your own code, and one page that shows the clicks, the sign-ups and what you are owed.

Assets that convert

Banners, demo clips and words you can paste under a video, into a newsletter, or onto a class handout.

Reliable payouts

Money goes out once a month, as soon as you clear a low minimum. We do not take it back later.

The shoot schedule: six days with crew, cast and set times, a scene strip on day one, and lunch and wrap on the clock

A product people keep

People stay with CSF because they shoot with it. Someone who stays pays you every month they stay.

  2. 2

    Share it your way

    Put the link in a video, a post, a newsletter, a class handout. Wherever people already listen to you.

  3. 3

    Earn on every subscription

    Someone signs up through your link and you take a share of what they pay, month after month.

    Paid monthly, once you clear the minimum payout.
