Introducing StreamSpace

“If a tree falls in a forest, and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?” describes the feeling of many filmmakers as they search for distribution for their independent productions. StreamSpace (www.stream.space ) was founded to give those filmmakers an opportunity to take control over their projects and own the vast majority of the revenues possible from controlling their own digital release.

StreamSpace has developed a proprietary and patented method for parsing large files such as digital films and storing them in a highly distributed network of servers. This leverages the core advantages offered by blockchain technologies: the anti-piracy security that comes from an immutable ledger of asset transfers, the speed inherent in combining small blocks from a vast array of storage points, and the integrity that comes with duplication of content elements across the array of servers.

This storage and distribution network retains all of the key attributes that filmmakers want for their digital projects:

  • Security and redundancy to preserve the content unless and until they themselves remove the content from public viewership, without relying on a third party distribution company
  • The ability to monitor viewership levels and revenues in real time
  • The ability to find and promote the film anywhere in the world, without regional restrictions (subject to government regulations).

What’s next?

Consumers want to be able to enjoy content on a variety of screens — from their 5” cell phones to a 13” laptop to a 32” HDTV to an 84” 5K UHDTV. StreamSpace will be designing a player that will run on all of the key operating systems and consumer viewing devices.

And both viewers and film content owners want to know that their payments are secure. We will be designing and testing digital wallets for the StreamSpace “tokens” that will show stored value in either local currency or in tokens, with links to the major trading exchanges where consumers can add more funds or where the filmmakers can redeem tokens for currency.

We plan to launch an ICO in late August to raise the funds required to build out the initial network, preview the service to filmmakers at Sundance Film Festival in January 2018, and then launch our commercial service at SXSW in March 2018. We believe that filmmakers and independent film enthusiasts will find our offering to be the answer they have been seeking — to maximize the financial rewards possible from controlling your project from creation through to mass digital distribution.

Come join StreamSpace www.stream.space and help us bring a new, powerful alternative to traditional distribution to the market!
