Curation Process
● Creators send us a link to their work.
● We watch, curate, and craft cinematic moments — transformed into 9:16 reels and stories.
● We send the final cut to the creator for approval.
● The curated reel is published on the 9:16 page, in collaboration with the creator’s account (if available) and other relevant channels.
● The reel is promoted on the platform using text, media provided by the creator, and
optimized through digital algorithms.
● We direct viewers to the full version of the work (with the creator’s consent, in accordance with distribution terms).
* We recommend submitting high-quality files, free of subtitles and graphics.
* Note: A 9:16 video is up to 90 seconds long, and is considered a “trailer” — it does not infringe upon distribution rights.
