Olyn provides filmmakers a direct-to-consumer streaming and commerce platform that includes DRM, 4K streaming, casting, full landing pages, geo-targeting, analytics, and audience data. Its distribution model leans on influencers, film critics, bloggers and creators embedding purchase links to drive referrals rather than relying on major streaming platforms. The company says filmmakers can retain up to 90% of their revenue and can monetize based on viewership, while gaining audience data such as country, minutes watched, and a database of users. Olyn has been used to debut films such as the Brian Epstein biopic "Midas Man" (via Studio POW) and founder Malcolm Wood previously launched his film "The Last Glaciers" on the platform. The team positions the product as a way to combat piracy by enabling instant paid access worldwide and to help independent filmmakers build and own their audiences. Leadership has stated a long-term vision of moving to a full SaaS model that lets filmmakers control what they distribute.
