Fox's Tubi is putting $250,000 into its latest effort to court creators
Tubi is pledging $250,000 to a new Fandom Fund with Kickstarter to boost its standing with emerging creators
Fox's Tubi, in collaboration with Kickstarter, has launched a Fandom Fund to support indie horror, young adult, and fan-driven films. This initiative comes as part of Tubi's broader effort to attract more creators and content to its platform. The Fandom Fund will provide up to $250,000 to back projects, with $150,000 allocated among eight to 15 creators in genres that are popular on Tubi, such as stories featuring Black characters and experiences, horror, YA, reality, and true-crime content.
One project will receive $100,000 in matching funds to produce a full film or series. Tubi will premiere these projects and run them for an exclusive window of varying month-long periods, beginning in 2027. The Fandom Fund aims to give emerging creators a chance to showcase their work, as big streamers like Netflix and Disney also compete for creators' attention.
