For Creators
YouTube pays you like a lottery.
We pay you like a career.
Recast is for independents getting squeezed by the feed and shut out of the deal — finished work, not funded prestige. Your people pay you directly. No ads, no algorithm, no upload schedule.
The door
Apply with three pieces that are finished — a mid-length doc, a local series, a film shot on one camera — and one paragraph about what you're making next. We review craft and intent, not budgets or follower counts. Human answer within two weeks.

The deal, in writing
You keep 85%. Untouchable.
Of every sale, every backing, every tip. Nothing else dips into your share. Founding creators lock this rate for life.
Your fans are yours.
Names, emails, backing history. Bring your YouTube list or newsletter. Export anytime, no questions asked.
Finished, not funded.
We care that the work is complete and holds — not that PBS or a studio underwrote it. Phone + hard drive is a valid kit.
No treadmill. Ever.
Drop when the work is done. Your catalog earns while you rest. No algorithm to feed.
Bring a fan once, earn forever.
Every fan you invite pays you 5% of whatever they spend on Recast, for life.
Your peers can pay you.
Every quarter, creators allocate The Pool to work they respect — including mid-length and local titles.
