CREATIVE MOTION ONLINE BUILDING ROKU CHANNEL TO HOST INDIE PROJECTS
Creative Motion Online will soon launch a Roku channel featuring indie faith-based short films and series that are left off major platforms due to length requirements.
▶ CREATIVE MOTION ANNOUNCEMENT
Creative Motion Online is announcing the construction of a Roku channel that will officially be operational by January 1, 2020. The streaming platform is being created to host faith-based short films by independent filmmakers and web series that fail to meet time requirements for conventional VOD platforms such as Amazon Prime Video.
In January of 2019 Thurrott announced that Roku streaming system devices were currently in the hands of 27 million users globally. They are also the platform hosting the largest amount of independently produced Christian channels, at over 1,000 and counting.
Submissions for inclusion onto the Creative Motion Online TV channel will involve some quality requirements. Content is expected to be Christian, or faith-based, and grounded in Biblical truth. Cutting-edge creativity and fiction engaging the allegorical is welcomed. Acceptability will be evaluated on a case by case standard. The channel will be not monetized. It will be free to subscribers. Accepted content will see no financial residuals with placement strictly for promotional purposes for the producer of the project.
A Roku channel created by Creative Motion Online publishers Kevin and Kristen Collier in 2012 reached 26,000 subscribers before being retired due to other obligations. This was a channel based solely on original children’s content, at a time when Roku devices were in approximately 6 million households. The upcoming collaborative effort will feature a wide range of genres from a select group of producers so is expected to outperform the first venture into Roku.
