Worker/artist owned cooperative — with distribution, to tell their own stories. Images below.

  1. Workers, writers, and artists start a cooperative production company

  2. They license/option existing stories to the company (which they own together!) and put stories on a website where audiences can access them

  3. Stories can be scripts, treatments, readings, storyboards — it's great material in those formats, and people will dive into those stories just the same

  4. Share the website (distribution!) with followings, along with a way to subscribe

  5. You now have a worker/writer/artist owned cooperative, with distribution, stories, and an audience!

More details in the images below, made as a guide/resource to be helpful.

Page 2 of 2 << Back Start lo-fi productions This is the alternative to the Hollywood studio and streaming system. Workers and artists start low-budget productions, for their own cooperative and distribution website and audience. Even if it’s shot on a smartphone in a single room over a weekend. Non-extractive funding (if helpful) If the cooperative wants more resources - to make more stories, get more workers and crew involved, or anything else - the success thus far can be the basis for non-extractive funding (like loans, revenue-based financing, or even advertising fom businesses you want to support - like a local farm, a direct action group, or a bicycle company.) Funders are paid back through revenue, whether subscriptions or advertisements or earned income or other possibilities. How to start? Workers, writers, artists interested in leading their own cooperative production company. They license/option stories to the cooperative, which they co-own! They meet with a lawyer who’s on the same page, to make the legal framework. All members have a profit-share in the cooperative overall - it probably makes sense that people also have a profit-share in the projects they work on directly. The cooperative puts up a website which gives audience access to scripts, treatments, readings, storyboards, and stories. (Distribution!) Ran out of characters here, will post the rest of the description in the toots. Feel free to contact for more details as well.
