DEAR VIEWER

Your film. Your cinema. Your price.

Dear Viewer gives independent, student and animation filmmakers a private film page with ticketing, DRM and invite-only screening. No subscription. No feed. No algorithm between you and your viewers.

Sell your short film online privately or publicly.

Create a film page See how it works

Upload free. First film page free.

“A cinema does not review the films it screens.”

The Dear Viewer belief.

An Indee alternative with studio-grade protection.

You get Widevine & FairPlay DRM, per-viewer watermarking, password-protected screening windows and private links — without enterprise pricing or a subscription. Your film gets its own page. It never enters a marketplace, never gets ranked, never gets recommended.

From upload to ticketed screening in three steps.

  1. 01

    Upload your film

    Upload any master. Dear Viewer transcodes for browser playback and applies DRM automatically.

  2. 02

    Set price, seats and privacy

    Choose a per-minute seat pack, set your ticket price, and decide who can watch: one named viewer, a private list, or public sale.

  3. 03

    Audience buys and watches

    Viewers buy with a link and watch immediately. No account, no app, no ads.

A private screening link for filmmakers.

Send your film to a single named viewer or a small private room. Password-protect it, cap the seats, set an expiry. It is still your film, not a public upload.

No cut of your tickets. Ever.

You set the ticket price — the box office is yours. Dear Viewer never takes a percentage of your sales. Our only fee is for the seats in your cinema: from $5 for a 5-minute short to $30 for a 150-minute feature, thirty seats to a pack. Upload is free, and your first film page is free. Sell one ticket or ten thousand — our price doesn’t move.
