Louis C.K. and Aziz Ansari have made millions selling their own stand-up specials online thanks to their fame, but the average filmmaker struggles to find an audience without a big name to push the project.
Enter Yekra, a new digital distribution platform that connects filmmakers with partners that can deliver millions of fans who will buy or rent a movie. It just raised $3 million in financing through a Series A round led by Las Vegas angel investor Maurice Gallagher, UK-based Bray Capital and angels Shay O’Brien and Michael Rogers.
