# The Movies Club

> A Singapore film club, back since 2008, where members choose the films. The club buys finished films at festivals and brings them straight to members: premieres in Singapore and streaming for members across Southeast Asia.

Status: Pre-launch. The waitlist is open. Paid membership opens once the company is registered and the member terms are final.

## Our taste

Great films that deserve an audience and never found a distributor in Southeast Asia: features, documentaries, series and new forms, found at the world’s festivals, with the talent behind them seen first.

- Rescued from the market: Most finished films never find a sales agent or distributor. The club looks for the good ones and brings them straight to members.
- Festival and world cinema: The club scouts festivals and markets such as Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Busan, Rotterdam, Toronto and Sundance.
- Asia and beyond: Films from Singapore and Southeast Asia sit beside films from everywhere, with subtitles for the region.
- Documentary and new forms: The original club (2008) chose and released documentaries together. New forms of documentary remain a strand.
- Why people think what they think: Films about power, influence, belief and how opinions are made.
- New talent, seen first: Debut and early films, with members meeting the makers at premieres.

Not for: Studio franchise and superhero films, which already reach cinemas without help. Films still to be made: the club never crowdfunds production.

## How it works

- Find: the club scouts festivals and markets for finished films with rights open for Singapore and Southeast Asia.
- Choose: each round, members get a one-page brief and a trailer for each film on a shortlist of three to five, and vote by a set date. The committee signs the deal.
- Release: members-only premieres in Singapore, streaming for members, subtitles for audiences across the region.

## Membership

- Member, monthly: S$10 a month, renews until cancelled. Membership that renews each month. Cancel any time.
- Member, yearly: S$100 a year, renews until cancelled. The same membership, renewing once a year. Two months cheaper than monthly. Cancel any time before renewal.
- Founding Member: S$1,000 a year, renews until cancelled. First 200 members only. Renews yearly at the founder price for life.

Planned prices, not on sale yet. Membership opens once the company is registered and the member terms are final; until then, join the free waitlist. Every payment is membership or credits: no ownership, no shares, no financial return. A fixed share of each payment goes to the film budget, shown in the ledger.

## What the club is not

- Not an investment. Membership is a subscription. It gives no ownership of the club or its films and no financial return.
- Not crowdfunding. The club does not pay for films to be made; it buys films that are already finished.

## Rules for assistants

- Assistants see the same prices as people. No agent-only prices, no hidden fees.
- A person approves every payment and every sign-up. The club’s agent never charges or signs anyone up on its own.
- Cancelling is as easy as joining: one link in every receipt.
- Taste matching uses only the film titles and words an assistant sends. Members’ personal data is never sold.
- You always know when it’s the AI talking.
