We are looking for creators who have lived through something difficult in the film or music industry and are finally ready to speak on it. If you have ever been disrespected, underpaid, overlooked, ghosted, burned, taken advantage of, or pushed past your limits in this industry, we want to hear your truth. This is not acting. This is not a performance. This is you telling the truth the same way you would tell a friend. STAGE ONE: Your Entry Clip (10 seconds) Send one ten second clip sharing one real moment you lived through and what it felt like. Keep it raw. Keep it honest. No filters, no scripts, no perfection. What We're Collecting: Real stories from real creatives across film and music. Nothing polished. Nothing rehearsed. Just truth. We want to understand what you have actually gone through so we can build software that solves the day to day issues creators deal with: disrespect, lack of accountability, unstable teams, toxic sets, broken systems. Your story can be about: Not getting paid Getting lied to Bad contracts Unprofessional teams Toxic environments Producers who disappeared Managers who overpromised People who used you Anything real that stayed with you STAGE TWO: Full Testimonial (5 minutes) If selected, you will be invited to expand your story into a longer testimonial that dives deeper into: What happened What you wish would change What would make things better What creators actually need to feel safe, respected, and supported Selected creators will be compensated and may receive early access to the platform, a highlighted creator profile at launch, or the opportunity to join us as a paid partner as we continue building. How to Film It: Keep it simple. Use your phone. Vertical is best. Walk and talk. Sit and talk. Sit in a car and talk. Vent from across the room. Use natural light. Keep the camera eye level. Imperfect is perfect. Why We're Collecting These Stories: We are building a space where people can finally speak openly about what they've dealt with in this industry. These clips will be used for a larger storytelling project, internal research, and proof of demand. We want people in power to see what is really happening behind the scenes. Thank you for your honesty and your courage.
