Every project submission is protected by industry-standard encryption and handled through a secure, verified system to ensure your intellectual property remains fully yours.

Whether you’re submitting a film, selling rights, or investing in a project, you can do so with complete confidence knowing your data and assets are protected every step of the way.
Vertical Royalty Fund
Vertical Royalty Fund is our way of ensuring that creators and performers continue to benefit from their work long after it’s been released. A small percentage of every sale or licensing deal made through the Vertical Marketplace is contributed to this fund, which is then distributed as monthly royalty payments to filmmakers, actors, and other credited contributors. This system not only rewards talent fairly but also encourages sustainable creativity, allowing artists to keep doing what they love while being continuously supported by the success of their projects.
