Every film is a constellation of people.
IndieVerse turns the unpaid work inside film co-productions into a verified, auditable ownership record.
Independent films run on work nobody fully paid for.
A cinematographer takes half her rate. A post house gives a discount. An editor defers part of his fee. European funds already ask producers to document this value, line by line, with a contract behind every item.
Today it lives in emails and spreadsheets, with no shared record between co-producers and no link to who gets paid back, and when.
Confirmed by the team, contract attached, the €8,000 becomes a deferral on line 11 of the Eurimages summary budget, an equity share in the live cap table, and a position in the recoupment schedule.
Measure. Confirm. Convert.
Measure
The GAP is the market rate for a role minus what was actually paid. The rate comes from the guild or collective agreement, not from a negotiation.
Confirm
Partners approve each record in a short consensus step, so no number is set by one side alone.
Convert
Approved records update a live cap table and the recoupment schedule, and export in the budget format funds already use.
One film, several countries, one record.
Per co-producer, consolidated per film
Each partner's contributions are kept separately and rolled up across countries and currencies.
Country rules as data
Caps on overheads, producer fees and contingency differ by country and by calculation base. IndieVerse checks them automatically.
Fund-ready from day one
Producers arrive at funds and auditors with in-kind and deferral records that are already structured and contracted.
- Working core: GAP engine, live cap table, in-kind and deferrals export, national cap checks.
- Producer app in development.
- Pilot community: independent media creators in Israel's northern periphery.
- Looking for one European pilot partner: a production company, film fund or media cluster.
