Florida Streaming Tech Company Tivid TV Prepares for Series A Funding Round
Finds Focus on Growth in Film Business Technology and Education
ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Married duo tech innovators Chris and McKenzy Bowers have set out to create economic change within the film industry with their O.T.T. streaming platform Tivid TV. Tivid TV is the first self-distribution platform that allows filmmakers and content creators to receive 100% royalties from their projects hence their tagline slogan, "Your Movie, Your Money." The forum enables viewers to rent and purchase feature films, documentaries, series, seasons, and episodes directly on your home television or any mobile device, supporting small business owners across the U.S.
The serial entrepreneurs started Tivid TV in 2019 in response to founder and film producer Christopher Michael finding a lack of distribution outlets to place or view his film without taking most of his royalties. With wife McKenzy Bowers' strong marketing and analytical background, they pushed forward to create a solution that would not only remedy the absence of the much-needed new self-distribution platform but also, in turn, create a supported system that will allow existing and freshly emerging filmmakers and content creators to assimilate, produce and distribute.
Since 2019, Tivid TV has independently raised roughly $83,000 in funding towards continuous improvements, strengthening both the front end and back end of its user interface. The Bowers introduced Tivid TV Studios as a form of funding to support Tivid TV's technological improvements, Tivid TV Studios is among one of the highest-rated Florida production movie studios listed on Peerspace that boasts prefabricated sets, including the only private jet set in Florida. The studio is located in the heart of Central Florida near Full Sail University. Since its opening in January Tivid TV Studios has created critical solid partnerships and alliances with other community leaders, such as the Florida Institute of Recording Sound and Technology, to strengthen the film industry and provide internships and other services of enrichment.
"We found that the film industry is essentially one that's seemingly overlooked when it comes to trades. You have trades such as barbering, cosmetology, and the likes that can be a very lucrative field due to extensive hands-on training that allows them to curate their clientele base immediately- sometimes even while they are in training; but most independent filmmakers often graduate with nowhere to go, or no way to break into the industry. Tivid TV is a 360 ° ecosystem structure, and we plan to be the intervention by connecting the dots that will allow them to learn the marketing end of film production and distribution and in turn, allow them to curate their fan base based on data and analytics. We plan to change the mindset that you need Hollywood to create a sustainable living off what you love to do by filling the gaps between independent film business and the community at the touch of a button," say owners Chris and McKenzy Bowers.
Tivid TV is gearing up to invite the public to participate in its first Kickstarter campaign in the company's history. The campaign will allow the tech company to introduce a new cloud-based platform with enhanced U.I. designs, compatibility and add advanced Geolocation Technology that will give the viewer access to see what productions were filmed in their hometown so the community can support local film business.In January, the company will start the journey of identifying series funding investors and venture capitalists that will help sustainably scale, add value and expand the markets of Tivid TV's elevated business model.
