WETDMovies: The Midwest’s Cinematic Launchpad 

WETDMovies is the film division of WETD — a creator‑powered, Midwest‑born, multi‑city entertainment movement built to give independent filmmakers a real platform, real distribution, and real visibility. This is not a hobby channel. This is a launchpad.

WETDMovies blends Hollywood energy, indie fire, and tech‑studio innovation into one ecosystem. Born in Wisconsin, fueled by the Capitol District and Lake George of New York , sharpened by Washington DC ambition, electrified by Las Vegas spectacle, and elevated by San Francisco innovation, WETDMovies is the first streaming platform built like a nationwide creative network.

Filmmakers get something they’ve never had before: a chance to be seen, celebrated, and distributed on a real Roku channel available in millions of homes. No gatekeepers. No pretentious film‑school walls. No “submit and pray.” Just a platform built for creators who want to be part of something bigger.

WETDMovies exists to give independent filmmakers a home where their work matters. A place where their stories get spotlighted, their films get watched, and their names get pushed into the world with real momentum.

WETDMovies provides:

• Streaming distribution on the WETDMoviesChannel

• A hybrid digital + physical film festival

• Filmmaker spotlights and interviews

• A Season 1 content library built from festival submissions

• A creator‑friendly revenue share model

• A multi‑city creative pipeline

This is the Hollywoodization of independent creators — and the beginning of a cinematic universe.

WETDMovies was built to:

• Give indie filmmakers real distribution

• Build a community of creators across multiple cities

• Create a Midwest‑rooted entertainment network

• Launch a hybrid film festival unlike anything in the region

• Provide a platform where creators keep their rights

• Establish WETD as a cultural and cinematic force

This is a movement, not a storage locker.

WETDMovies is built on four pillars:

1. The WETD Film Festival

A hybrid digital + physical event that launches the WETDMoviesChannel and forms the foundation of Season 1.

2. Filmmaker Spotlight

A program that highlights creators who show up, promote their work, and bring energy to the movement.

3. Season 1

A curated lineup of festival films that becomes the first official content library of WETDMovies.

4. Creator Revenue Share

A fair, transparent model that pays filmmakers based on watch time, ad impressions, and platform performance.

WETDMovies is built for:

• Independent filmmakers

• Student filmmakers

• Documentary creators

• Experimental artists

• Animators

• Micro‑short creators

• Local storytellers

• Multi‑city creative communities

If you have a story, WETDMovies has a platform.

Filmmakers can join WETDMovies in three ways:

Submit Your Film

Become part of the WETD Film Festival and Season 1.

Apply for the Filmmaker Spotlight

WETDMovies is the foundation of a larger entertainment network that will expand into:

• WETD Originals

• WETD Series

• WETD Documentaries

• WETD Reality Shows

• WETD Creator Programs

• Multi‑city film partnerships

This is the beginning of a cinematic universe built from the Midwest outward.
