Our Mission
Independent Filmmaker Connection Database is built on a simple belief: independent films deserve a platform that truly serves both the creators who make them and the audiences who love them.
We connect independent filmmakers with engaged audiences, providing the tools, visibility, and revenue opportunities that creators need to sustain their craft. For viewers, we offer a curated experience that goes beyond what mainstream platforms offer.
What We Do
IFMCD is a streaming platform purpose-built for independent cinema. We offer high-quality video streaming, filmmaker analytics, audience discovery tools, and an ecosystem that supports every role in the filmmaking process.
For filmmakers, we provide direct upload and distribution tools with an industry-leading revenue share. For audiences, we offer curated collections, personalized recommendations, and a community of fellow film enthusiasts.
For educators and institutions, we offer specialized licensing, discussion guides, and screening tools that bring independent film into the classroom.
Built for Everyone in Film
Whether you're a watcher discovering your next favorite film, a filmmaker sharing your vision with the world, an actor building your portfolio, a crew member showcasing your credits, or an institution bringing film into the classroom — IFMCD has a place for you.
