With the Founding Creators Program

Connoisseur is an independent streaming platform built for filmmakers and visual storytellers who want a professional home for their work while maintaining full ownership and creative control. As we prepare for platform expansion, we are currently selecting a limited group of Founding Creators to help build the initial Connoisseur catalog.

Selected filmmakers will receive a catalog placement incentive as part of our early-stage creator support initiative. This incentive is offered to help creators participate in building the platform’s founding library.

The goal of Connoisseur is to reduce the barriers independent creators often face with traditional distribution models.

Instead of waiting months or years for licensing decisions or relying solely on platform view counts to earn revenue, Connoisseur offers creators several pathways to generate income while maintaining control over their work.

In addition to digital streaming opportunities, founding creators will also be invited to participate in curated events, private screenings, and future community initiatives designed to connect filmmakers, audiences, and creative collaborators.
