The Wall Street Journal stated:"Film Annex will go to an all-bitcoin payment model. The site has made waves with a radical new business model by which it shares part of its ad revenue with the independent film makers and bloggers that provide its content."

Film Annex's growth is due to its unique #SocialMediaThatPays business model, which includes:

 Paying Content Providers through the Film Annex "Buzz Score",
 Partnering with Filmmakers and Bloggers in the first wave of #SocialMediaThatPays,
 Low internal overhead, advertising money is shared with Content Partners,
 Private ownership, 5+ years of continuous profitability.

Film Annex pays its Content Partners in Bitcoin.

Short form video filmmakers are the heart and soul of Film Annex. The #SocialMediaThatPays campaign started six years ago with some of the finest "soon to be known" filmmakers from around the world.

Have a look at some of our filmmakers' success stories. Independent film director Abel Ferrara and actor and director Matthew Modine are already on Film Annex.

In 2012, Rulli started The Afghan Development Project. and partnered with Roya Mahboob from Afghan Citadel, a software company in Afghanistan, to build internet stations at high schools in Herat and create a web channel called the Afghan Development Web TV. The mission is to show the world the new face of Afghanistan by broadcasting current event videos, interviews, and news clips as well as archival material directly from Afghan Youth Development. The first step for Film Annex is in education and our goal is to to connect 160,000 Afghan children.
