BlockReel DAO – Filmmaker-owned production-to-distribution pipeline on Solana

Summary: BlockReel DAO is a decentralized platform enabling filmmakers to control the entire production and distribution process, retaining 80% of profits while reinvesting 20% into future projects. Built on Solana, it integrates festival submissions, studio collaboration, streaming with fair payouts, and a DAO treasury to create a closed-loop creator economy.

What it does

BlockReel provides a full-stack infrastructure including a festival submission system, decentralized studio nodes, streaming with dual payments (Stripe and USDC), a job board, real-time chat, and Founder NFT minting. It operates an 80/20 profit split where creators keep the majority and the DAO treasury funds new films.

Who it's for

Independent filmmakers seeking ownership of their work’s economics and a platform to produce, distribute, and monetize films without traditional studio or streaming exploitation.

Why it matters

It addresses the lack of filmmaker control and revenue share in traditional systems by enabling creators to own distribution and share in long-term earnings through a decentralized model.
