Become a Founding Sponsor — $10 Or just wait for launch — we'll email you either way. ❤️A text credit with your name/handle on the page you sponsor — one sponsor per page, first come first served. Movie/show sponsors get their credit on the title page and across its clip pages — think stadium naming rights, while clip sponsors keep their seat plaques.

Servers, bandwidth, and two founders who'd rather answer to fans than to ad networks.
If enough people raise their hand, we build it in the next few weeks. Founding Sponsors get their pick of pages first.
