Program Will Bring Creator-Led Films and Series Exclusively to Tubi in 2027
SAN FRANCISCO – November 13, 2026 – Tubi today announced the Tubi x Kickstarter Fandom Fund, a new partnership with Kickstarter providing independent digital-first creators with funding, promotion, and access to Tubi’s 110 million monthly active users.
Building on the success of last year’s FilmStream Collective Fund, which brought more than 20 independent films exclusively to the platform, the new collaboration will support creator films and series, which will debut exclusively on Tubi, starting in 2027. One funded project will also receive additional funds to produce a full series or feature film. These projects will span genres that inspire Tubi’s most passionate fandoms, including horror, YA, Black entertainment, true crime, LGBTQ+, comedy, and reality.
“We believe great talent can come from anywhere,” said Rich Bloom, General Manager, Creator Programs and Executive Vice President, Business Development at Tubi. “The Fandom Fund gives emerging storytellers the resources to bring those ambitious ideas to life on a bigger canvas while preserving the creative voice, vision and ownership that made their work resonate.”
“We have seen too many times that there are many talented creators, especially in this space, who face barriers when it comes to turning their ideas into something real,” said Everette Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Kickstarter. “By reuniting with our friends at Tubi, we’re able to continue creating new pathways for creators to access the resources, backing, and opportunities they need and deserve. Our shared goal is to make that process a little easier and free them up to put more of their efforts into the projects themselves.”
The Fandom Fund is part of the Kickstarter Culture Fund, which launched over the summer. The fund, the first to be financed entirely by Kickstarter, was created to support independent creators working across art, fashion, film, and music.
The Fandom Fund also supports Tubi’s broader strategy to develop, fund, license, and acquire creator-led projects that resonate with young and multicultural audiences. By working with creators whose storytelling aligns with Tubi’s strongest communities, the company is creating new pathways for emerging talent to expand their reach and connect with audiences beyond the platforms and formats where they began.
