Micheaux partners with new distributor for students!

I’m excited to announce a new partnership between Elevate Creative Talents and On The Hiway.

Traditional distribution is getting tighter and less transparent. So we’re partnering with a tool that supports the shift that’s already happening: creator-to-fan distribution.

On The Hiway is not “another streaming platform.”

It’s more like Shopify for movies.

Here’s what it unlocks:

  • 90% revenue to the creator (10% transaction fee)
  • You own your customer data (emails + viewing data)
  • One library for your assets (film, trailer, posters, BTS)
  • Smart links you can share anywhere, so you can market where your audience lives

But then seven days later...Row K imploded.  We're...
Can we celebrate before we critique?
Before we debate HOW Black women were shown, can we talk about HOW MANY? I've been thinking about this since Oscar Sunday, and I need to say it. The conversation about Black women at this year's Oscars has mostly been about One Battle After Another. About whether those characters were portrayed with dignity. About whether Paul Thomas Anderson should have answered more directly when asked about ...
Black women don't get to be flawed on screen. Why not?
Teyana Taylor played a character who made bad choices. Some people lost their minds about it. One Battle After Another won Best Picture last weekend. Six Oscars total. And somewhere in the middle of all that celebrating, a real conversation was happening that deserves more room than it got. Teyana Taylor plays "Perfidia Beverly Hills" in the film.
