First things first
What is this, exactly?
Raindance Releasing
A new streaming platform from Raindance, home of the UK's biggest independent film festival.
It gives independent filmmakers a permanent digital home. Not just for one week at a festival, all year round.
Hiway
Brand new technology built for independent filmmakers. It powers Raindance Releasing behind the scenes.
You get one account. Your film streams on Raindance. And every Hiway tool comes with it.
Put simply: you sign up to Hiway, upload your film, and it streams on Raindance Releasing worldwide. No middlemen. No black box. You keep control.

Why this is different
Everything filmmakers have always wanted.
Because Hiway built the tech from scratch, we could put the filmmaker first. That means three things you have never had before.
1. Transparency
Log in and see every view, every rental, every dollar. Real time. Live.
No more waiting six months for a statement that doesn't add up.
2. Your fans, your data
Every viewer who watches your film goes into your own CRM. Their name. Their email. Yours.
Talk to them for your next film. Build a real fanbase.
3. Paid direct
Your share of every rental drops straight into your bank. Immediate. Automated.
No sales agent chasing. No holdbacks. No delayed statements.
How it works
Three steps. That is it.
Sign up to Hiway
Create your account. Add your Stripe details so you can get paid. Two minutes.
Upload your film
Add your master file, your artwork, and the details. Once. Not once per platform.
Send it to Raindance
Submit through Raindance. If selected, your film streams on Raindance Releasing.
