Your content. Your brand. Your platform.
You have films, archive material or educational content, but no platform that does them justice? We deliver your own streaming platform, in your design, under your brand, without a line of code on your side.
This is not off-the-shelf software. We built the system ourselves and run our own services on it, including filmfriend for over 1,500 libraries. What we sell you, we use every day.
Our platforms:
filmfriend.de myfilmfriend.com filmfriend-health.de filmfriend-schule.de
Over 40 clients across festivals, cinemas, archives and film museums already stream with us.
Why not Vimeo or YouTube?
Because your collection is more than a list of videos. Our system is built for institutions that curate, manage rights, control access and monetise. Generic video services do not.
And why not just have an AI build it?
We use AI ourselves, every day. That is not what sets us apart: it's our years of accumulated expertise in building platforms that capture and showcase content in ways that work, backed by a proven track record and long-standing experience in multimedia.
Rights, operations and liability remain demanding: licence agreements and licensor accounting, real DRM (Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay), apps in the stores, GDPR and accessibility, someone on the phone in three years. A prototype has none of that. We deliver exactly that.
