The Internet is a Graveyard for Short Films. We Built ELEVI to Change That.
As filmmakers, we all know the cycle. You pour years of your life, countless favors, and all of your money into making a short film. You take it through the festival circuit, you sit in dark theaters with real audiences, and you feel the impact of your work.
And then... nothing.
When the festival run ends, the industry offers no serious distribution path for short-form cinema. We felt the profound frustration of having no choice but to dump our films onto the internet—sacrificing them to platforms built for endless scrolling, algorithmic noise, and disruptive ads.
We realized that if we wanted a platform that actually respected the art of the short film, we had to build it ourselves.
Enter ELEVI: A Safe Space for Cinematic Storytelling
ELEVI is now officially live as a premium streaming platform dedicated entirely to short films.
We designed ELEVI to be a sanctuary. It is a space where creators can finally share their work with a community that actually wants to watch with their full attention. No algorithms dictating taste. No advertisements breaking the immersion. Just pure cinema.
From One Short Film to a World-Class Roster
This project started with a single, 5-minute film. We just wanted a beautiful, dedicated place to host our own work. But the moment we shared our vision, the response from the filmmaking community was overwhelming.
Today, ELEVI has grown into a curated platform hosting nearly 20 world-class short films, available seamlessly across iPhone and iPad devices. And we are just getting started.
A New Model: Rewarding the Artist
Our intention is simple and uncompromising: we want to give creators the opportunity to finally be rewarded for their content.
For too long, major platforms have profited off the hard work of independent visual storytellers while paying them fractions of a penny. ELEVI is fundamentally different. We have built a system that actively rewards filmmakers, allowing you to profit from your hard work and sustainably fund your next project.
Join the Movement
ELEVI is more than an app; it is a movement to restore value to the short film. If you have a film that deserves to be seen, we want to give it the home it deserves.
