Y Combinator Demo Day,
for film.

These creators may not have extensive track records. But they've completed a rigorous, transparent preparation process — verified, documented, and ready for industry professionals to evaluate on their own terms.

We never say “this will make money.” We say: “this project demonstrates strong preparation across objective criteria.”

Preparation, measured. Never predicted.

Three groups of objective, checkable criteria. No group scores commercial potential — only whether the work of getting ready has been done.

The AI Incubator.

Upload a new project and the AI doesn't just host it — it acts like an accelerator over time: identifying missing documentation, suggesting advisors to approach, recommending comparables, flagging rights or delivery gaps, generating pitch materials, and unlocking verification levels as evidence accumulates. By the time a project reaches Spotlight, it has already been guided through a standardized preparation process.

In its own words:

“This project has completed a transparent, structured preparation process. Here is the verified information so industry professionals can make their own decisions.”
