Film & Television on PYRAX

On-chain financing, escrow, and residual splits make production budgets and profit participation transparent and automatic. PYRAX brings programmable royalty waterfalls, escrowed financing, and censorship-resistant distribution to an industry hungry for accountability.

What's broken today

Profit-participation waterfalls are opaque, and 'Hollywood accounting' hides revenue from participants.

Residuals to writers, actors, and crew are slow to calculate and frequently disputed or delayed.

Independent film financing is fragmented, with capital locked and payouts contingent on trust in producers.

Distribution is gatekept by platforms that can bury or geo-block content and control the audience.
