The films you champion keep earning.
So do you.
Festivals, guilds, sales agents, film schools and creator communities already do the hardest part of distribution — finding the work, vetting it, and telling the world which titles matter. The FurtherTV affiliate programme pays you for it: refer filmmakers and rights holders to the marketplace and earn a share of the revenue their titles generate, for as long as they keep earning.

Where the titles you refer can end up
Built for the people who find the films
You already do the curation, the vetting and the announcement. The affiliate programme is the part that pays you for it — without asking anything more of your filmmakers than the distribution they were looking for anyway.
Nothing for filmmakers to give up
No upfront cost to list a film, no exclusivity by default, and no assignment of rights. Your affiliate share does not come out of their earnings.
Recurring, not a finder's fee
You earn on every licence a referred film makes, for as long as it keeps earning — not once at signup.
Your back catalogue counts
Attribution attaches when the filmmaker signs up, however long after their edition that is. For most affiliates the alumni catalogue is the larger opportunity.
How the affiliate programme works
1
You get a referral link
We issue a tracked link and an affiliate code. Put it in your acceptance emails, your filmmaker handbook, your alumni newsletter, the industry page of your programme — anywhere your selections already look for what comes next.
2
They sign up as content partners
Filmmakers apply through your link, upload their film, set their own territories and windows, and license directly to channels. Attribution is attached to their account at signup, so it holds whether they join during the festival or a year later.
3
You earn on everything they license
When a referred film is licensed and goes into rotation, you earn 10% of FurtherTV's net revenue share on it — reported quarterly alongside the licensor's own statement.
See what your filmmakers are doing
Affiliates get an Agent account — a read-only role built for exactly this. You see performance without being able to touch anyone's catalog or account.
Reporting across the filmmakers you referred
Which titles are live, which channels licensed them, where they are in rotation and what they have earned.
The same Monetizing view they see
No separate affiliate console to learn — it is the reporting your filmmakers already use for their own films.
Something to show your board and your funders
Real distribution outcomes for your selections, with numbers attached. Festivals are asked to prove impact every year; this is impact you can export.
Read-only access to Monetizing and Reports, scoped to the filmmakers who signed up through your link.
We onboard your filmmakers, not just your link
Your team does not become a distribution help desk. We answer the filmmakers' questions — you keep the relationship.
A co-branded landing page
Built for your selections, carrying your referral code, so the page you send filmmakers to already looks like it came from you.
A walkthrough for the cohort
One live session for your selected filmmakers covering what FAST and AVOD licensing is and how the marketplace works.
Hands-on help with the first titles
Preparing masters, captions and metadata so the first films through your link get to market properly.
What festivals ask us first
Does this cost our filmmakers anything?
No. There is no upfront cost to list a film, no exclusivity by default, and no assignment of rights — filmmakers keep ownership and set their own territories and windows. Your affiliate share does not come out of their earnings.
Do we have to endorse every film we refer?
No. You are pointing your community at a marketplace, not vouching for titles. Each filmmaker applies, is reviewed and contracts with FurtherTV directly.
Can we refer past editions, not just this year?
Yes, and most affiliates do — an alumni back catalogue is usually the larger opportunity. Attribution attaches when the filmmaker signs up, however long after their festival that is.
Can we refer platforms and channels too?
Yes. A streaming platform, FAST channel operator or distributor that signs up through your link is attributed to you, and you earn 10% of FurtherTV's net share of the revenue from every title it licenses through the marketplace. If you referred both the filmmaker and the platform on the same license, you earn on both. Your share never adds to what the platform pays.
What if a filmmaker already has a distributor?
They can still list what is unencumbered and set avails around an existing deal. Nothing here asks them to break an agreement they have already signed.
