Est. 2008 · Back in 2026 · Singapore
A documentary club where AI does the work, members choose the stories, and the numbers are open to members.
Free to join. No payments yet.
We release documentaries; we don't make them. Members have a say in what we release, the way they did in 2008.
Finished documentaries with true stories and available rights, each with a one-page brief.
You vote on the slate, the poster and the launch plan. Every vote closes on a fixed date, with a published default.
Streaming and screenings, with subtitles in up to six languages. Filmmakers keep final cut and a share of every release.
A monthly report to members and a ledger of what the club did, why, and what it cost.
The AI handles the day-to-day running of the club. Deals, spending and votes stay with people.

"I launched this in 2008. Now an AI runs it."Andy Whittaker, co-founder of the original Movies Club
The first Movies Club let members choose and release documentaries together. What held it back was the cost of the people needed to run votes, accounts and member contact. That is the work the AI now does, so a club of a few thousand members can stand on its own.
Waitlist members choose the club's first film. Founding memberships open soon.
