Questions we get asked
How much do filmmakers keep on Hiway?
Filmmakers keep 90% of every sale. Payouts arrive in real time via your own Stripe account, not on a quarterly statement.
Do I need a distributor to use Hiway?
No. Hiway works as your primary direct-to-fan channel, or alongside a traditional distributor for the territories and rights they do not cover.
Can I send a secure screener to festivals and press?
Yes. Hiway screener rooms are forensically watermarked, protected by one-time codes and time-limited, with per-viewer logs. They have been used for slates at EFM Berlin and Cannes.
Can a festival replace Eventbrite or Vimeo with Hiway?
Yes. Hiway handles ticketed streams, digital programmes, industry screener rooms and audience CRM in one place, and the festival owns the viewer data outright rather than the platform retaining it.
Do I give up any rights to my work?
No. You keep all rights in everything you upload. That is clause 9 of our terms and conditions, not just a line in our marketing.
Can I keep my audience data if I leave?
Always. Every viewer lands in your CRM and exports to CSV whenever you want it. There is no minimum term and no exit fee.
Not quite you?
Sports, comedy, faith, education, live events. If it is video and someone will pay for it, the model is the same. See plans and pricing, the platform features, or who already runs on Hiway.
