WE'RE NOT HERE TO PLAY THE GAME.
WE'RE HERE TO CHANGE IT.
RAVOK exists because the people who make the work should own the work. That’s not radical—it’s just fair. But Hollywood’s entire business model depends on it not happening.
02. Who we are
WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO
RAVOK’s mission is simple: give filmmakers the same ownership and infrastructure that tech founders get.
We provide seed capital, structure projects as independent ventures with creator equity, and build the support systems that should exist but don’t. No more gatekeeping or Hollywood shady accounting.
Just fair deals, transparent governance, and real ownership for the people who make the work.
WHERE WE'RE GOING
In ten years, we want people to look back and ask: "Remember when filmmakers didn't own their work?" The same way we now ask: "Remember when musicians didn't own their masters?"
Our vision is a film industry where:
Creators are founders.
They get equity, board seats, and real governance rights—not as a special deal, but as standard practice.
Original voices get funded
Mid-budget storytelling thrives because the economics actually work when you’re not supporting bloated studio overhead.
Ownership is the default.
New institutions emerge that prove creator-first models outperform the old extractive system.
Sustainable careers exist.
Filmmakers build IP engines and ongoing revenue, not just one-off paychecks.
RAVOK won’t be the only venture studio doing this. That’s the point. We’re proving the model so others follow. Systemic change starts with a spark.
WHY THIS WORKS
RIGHT NOW
THE CREATOR ECONOMY IS MATURE
Musicians own masters. Writers own IP. YouTubers own their channels. Podcasters own their shows.
Film is literally the last creative industry still running on the old extractive model. That anomaly won’t last.
AUDIENCES WANT ORIGINAL STORIES
People are exhausted by sequels, prequels, and franchise garbage. Mid-budget originals consistently outperform tentpoles on ROI—but studios won’t fund them because their incentive structures are broken.
We will. Because our economics actually work.
DISTRIBUTION IS DEMOCRATIZED
You don’t need theatrical deals or network slots anymore. Boutique streamers, festival-to-platform paths, direct-to-audience through platforms like ours (Phema).
The gatekeepers aren’t gone, but there are more doors.
CAPITAL IS LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVES
Smart money sees the traditional model dying and wants exposure to whatever’s next. Venture capital understands equity and founder ownership—they just haven’t looked at film this way yet.
We’re the bridge.

In ten years, we want people to look back and ask: “Remember when filmmakers didn’t own their work?

A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
I started RAVOK because I was tired of lying to myself.
For years, I worked in the industry telling creators “this is just how it works.” You make the film, they buy it, you move on. That’s the game. Don’t ask for equity—producers don’t get equity. Don’t ask for control—you’re lucky anyone’s funding you at all. Just be grateful someone said yes.
I said those things because I believed them. Or maybe because it was easier than admitting the whole system is designed to keep creative people powerless while everyone else gets rich off their work.
The breaking point was [SPECIFIC MOMENT]. [Insert your actual story: watching a filmmaker sign away their life’s work, sitting in a meeting where executives calculated how to exploit someone’s IP, realizing you were part of the problem, etc.]
I realized I had a choice: keep participating in extraction, or build something different.
RAVOK is that something different.
I’m not naive. I know this is hard. I know Hollywood has eaten reformers for breakfast for a hundred years. I know changing systems takes time, capital, and luck.
But every major industry shift starts with someone saying “the old way is bullshit” and building the alternative.
Our 2025 slate is three ventures—Bite Me, HYSTERA, and Phema. Each one is structured with creator equity, transparent governance, and real ownership rights. Not as marketing language. In the actual operating agreements.
If it works, we’ll scale. If others copy us, even better. The goal isn’t monopoly—it’s proving creator ownership works so well that it becomes the standard.
I can’t promise this will work. But I can promise we’re building it with integrity, we’re learning as we go, and we won’t compromise on the principles that matter.
If you’re a creator who thinks like a founder, join the 2026 waitlist →
If you’re a partner or investor who believes in this shift, let’s talk →
If you’re just watching to see if we pull it off, that’s fair. Stick around.

No funding without a package. No package without funding. This deliberate deadlock keeps creators desperate while middlemen extract value.
