01 what you get

What membership is

  • The whole catalog

    Every film on Segla, start to finish. Shorts, features, pilots and proofs of concept, from filmmakers in thirteen cities.

  • New premieres every week

    A film goes up most nights, with a programmer's note signed by the person who chose it. Tonight's premiere is on the front page.

  • The screening room

    Full screen, one film at a time, no autoplay into something else. It is the closest a browser gets to sitting down.

  • Member screenings and events first

    Tickets to Segla nights open to members before anybody else, and some rooms only open to members at all.

  • A share of every fee goes to the filmmakers you watch

    Not a flat licence paid years ago. Your five dollars follows what you actually finished.

02 free account

What a free account does

Making an account costs nothing and always will. Watching the films is the part that is paid for.

  • Follow

    Follow a filmmaker and you hear first when their next film goes up.

  • Save

    Keep a watchlist, and see what is leaving before it goes.

  • Rate and review

    Half stars, and as many words as you want under them.

  • Lists

    Build a list, rank it, and let other people find it.

  • Messages

    Write to another viewer, or to a filmmaker, about a film.

03 the split

Where the money goes

Every month

Member fees are pooled every month and shared with filmmakers by completed watch time. A film somebody finished counts for more than a film somebody opened and left.

Filmmakers see the whole picture on their dashboard: viewers, completion, saves, reviews, new followers, the cities they came from, and the share those numbers earned. Nothing about the split is a secret from the person who made the film.

How films get programmed

04 questions

Before you join

  • Can I cancel?

    Any time, from settings, in two clicks. You keep watching until the month you paid for runs out.

  • Where can I watch?

    Any browser, on a phone, a laptop or a television. There is nothing to install and no device limit.

  • Where do the films come from?

    Filmmakers send them. Anybody can submit a film, and a programmer watches every submission start to finish.

  • How does a film get programmed?

    A programmer watches it, writes a note and signs it, then sets a premiere date. The filmmaker's followers hear before anyone else.
