Backlot74

The studio system, brought back with the spirit of ’74.

Writers, showrunners, AI creators and editors, by invitation, matched onto series and paid from what each title earns. We license what we believe in, deliver it to the platforms, and keep the record of who made what.

Percentages of what the platform actually remits for that title, not a defined “net.” Backlot74 licenses each series for three years from first delivery, the minimum TikTok requires and not a day more. Rights revert to you free and clear if we haven’t started production within 12 months. Every participant gets annual audit rights.

01 · Roles stack
One person or company can hold any number of seats. Write it, run it, shoot it and cut it, and you hold all 70.
02 · Come as you are
Have a story but can't generate? We'll pair you. Can generate but have nothing to shoot? We have series written and ready.
03 · Credits come back first
Approved render spend is repaid across the whole slate before any title's split. If your series isn't the one that lands, you are still made whole.
04 · The honest risk
Roughly 80% of titles earn under $20K. Maybe 5% cross $100K. That is the whole argument for a slate rather than a bet.

Who made what

Every series carries its billing block: writer, showrunner, AI creator, editor. As titles are delivered, the people who made them are credited here, publicly, like any other studio.
