Some moments in filmmaking don’t just make history—they change its course. This week on #Unscripted, we’re honored to have Craig Leeson join us for a conversation that wasn’t just an interview—it was a glimpse into the future of independent film. Craig is one of the visionaries behind The Latest Glaciers, a documentary with a powerful mission. But beyond the story on screen, he did something revolutionary, he chose Olyn as the platform to stream it. No gatekeepers. No outdated rules. He redefined what’s possible. Now, on Unscripted, Craig breaks down why this moment is bigger than just one film—it’s about reclaiming creative freedom. It’s about directors owning their stories, their audiences, and their future. ?? Stay tuned—our new episode drops this Thursday! #TheLastGlaciers #CreativeFreedom #IndependentFilm #MovieDistribution

?? "Own your audience." That’s not just a tagline—it’s a movement. Olyn is featured in Financial Times - ‘Own your audience’: New streamer’s pitch to filmmakers. From the start, our mission has been clear—empower consumers, give control to merchants, and break the outdated structures that limit creativity. Along the way, we realized that the film industry is ready for its democratization moment—and we responded. Today, Financial Times recognizes Olyn as a game-changer in entertainment. But this isn’t just about us—it’s about every filmmaker who has trusted us, every creator who wants full ownership, and every audience that values independent voices. This is the beginning of something big. ?? #Olyn #OwnYourAudience #Filmmaking #DirectToConsumer #Innovation #EntertainmentIndustry https://lnkd.in/eYsn4QH3

What if discovering great films wasn’t about algorithms, but about real people—filmmakers, journalists, and passionate fans—sharing what truly matters? Unlike traditional platforms, Olyn isn’t a catalog. It’s a direct path for filmmakers to reach their audiences, own their distribution, and actually see the impact of their work.
