While most of us pay for streaming platforms to watch movies, Filmocracy is a new service that's reimagining the movie streaming model -- this service will pay you to watch independent films and leave a rating and review. Simply watch the film and rate it out of five stars based on plot, dialogue, cinematography, performance, music, and characters.
Filmocracy pays users with virtual popcorn that can be used in its shop to upgrade your avatar, redeem gift cards or movie tickets, or cash in other great prizes. This service has been gamified to allow users to compete with others for the top spot. Filmmakers can also submit their films for exposure and feedback.
