The live streaming industry is not just about the dominance of premium Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, and Netflix. There is a popular app that provides users free streaming of documentaries, movies, short films, and TV series. It is none other than Filmzie. The online platform functions on an advertising-based Video on Demand (AVOD) business model.
Hence, users need not pay any subscription fees to watch content on the Filmzie platform. On average, the Filmzie app shows 10 minutes of ads every hour. It is targeting independent filmmakers, new producers, and small studios.
The Filmzie live streaming platform has grown by several leaps and bounds since its launch in 2017. It is based in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Moreover, the startup is giving tough competition to the broadcast industry by following a data-driven advertising approach. The Android app of Filmzie has more than 500,000 downloads.
