OUR STORY
Ruby Slipper is a home for independent films, where viewers rent and buy directly from the filmmakers who made them.
Why we exist
For years, independent filmmakers sold their work on Vimeo On Demand. When it closed, many of us lost our storefront, and often our audiences with it.
Who built it
"I'm Laurel Chiten, a documentary filmmaker and the founder of Blind Dog Films. My films have aired nationally on PBS and earned a national Emmy nomination. When I went looking for a new home for them, I couldn't find one that felt right. So I built one."
What makes us different
- Filmmakers keep 90% of every sale, paid straight to their own account.
- Filmmakers stay connected to their audience. At checkout, viewers can choose to join the filmmaker's mailing list.
- No subscription. Viewers pay only for the films they want.
Why "Ruby Slipper"?
Because there's no place like home, and every film deserves one.
