1. FilmDoo is your “TripAdvisor for Films” meets “iTunes”
BRINGING PEOPLE
TOGETHER
THROUGH FILMS
The global online streaming
platform combining movie discovery
with content access
2. THE FILMDOO
MISSION
“Movies have a unique capacity to create empathy for people and
actions we don’t know or have not experienced.”
At a time when we have never been more connected,
social isolation is still a major issue in the world.
FilmDoo is the first global platform bringing people together
through the power of film to connect communities and cultures,
across nationalities, ethnicities, languages and interests.

films. And there are too
many that are hard to get.
Netflix is limited.

6. Significant Market
Global Over the Top (OTT) TV and video revenues will
reach $51.1 billion in 2020, up from $26 billion in 2015
THE OPPORTUNITY
Expanding Worldwide Demand
Digital video now accounts for 64% of all consumer
traffic worldwide
Large Untapped Global Film Supply
• 50,000 featured films produced each year
• US is still only able to consume just 1% of global film content
due to difficulties in supplying global content
• Just 10% of European content is shown outside the EU
• For example, only 5 out of 207 Korean films produced in 2013
were distributed in the UK
Rapid Growth
The Video on Demand (VOD) market is expected to grow at 30%
per year, overtaking cinema by 2017 and DVD sales by 2018
Current Market Inefficiency
80% of all global film revenue comes from just 6% of films
– an opportunity to tap into the potential of under-
represented content
Go-To Market for Digitization
Only 47% of European films played in cinemas between
2005-14 are made available in digital format – first mover
advantage to help digitize content and bring to market

14. What do we leave behind when
we cross each frontier?
Each moment seems split in
two: melancholy for what was
left behind, and the excitement
of entering a new land
