What is Vuulr?

Vuulr is a global content marketplace for the Film and TV rights

A marketplace where content is showcased instantly to a trusted global community of buyers, reaching new audiences and new markets 24/7. A platform where buyers can go from content discovery to deal in days, instead of months.

Vuulr is a Blockchain-enabled, online Global Content Marketplace for the Film, TV and Sports industry. We provide large-scale efficiencies for the global Distribution and Acquisition of content allowing buyers and sellers, to go from discovery to deal in days instead of months. The Vuulr solution aims to save the industry more than 75% of the value lost to the cost of transactions today, retaining more profit for both buyers and sellers.

Our Industry Partnerships

Negotiations and transactions are done entirely online. We do this by partnering with leading Hollywood trade bodies (EIDR, MovieLabs, EMA) to implement existing global industry standards for unique asset IDs, rights management, metadata and, eventually, subtitling, dubbing and material delivery. This creates time and cost savings for buyers and sellers alike.

EMA Avails

A cross-industry format for delivery of licensing Avails specifying how and when content can be presented to consumers.

Common Metadata & Digital Extras

Core metadata specifications that provide the shared vocabulary underlying the entire suite of cross-industry initiatives.

Entertainment Identifier Registry

Standard unique IDs for precise machine-readable identification of content.

Why Vuulr?

In an age of unprecedented digital connectedness, audiences are more discerning than ever in their content choices. We envisioned a platform that would connect buyers and distributors regardless of geography, giving them an opportunity to access a diverse selection of mainstream and niche content that would appeal to their audiences’ global appetite. An online marketplace that would radically reduce the friction (time and cost) that buyers currently face in discovering and acquiring the content they want. Going beyond the commercial bottomline, Vuulr gets to the heart of the entertainment industry - creativity and original storytelling. We champion both the budding, independent filmmakers - by giving them an opportunity for their work to be discovered by buyers worldwide - as well as the biggest studios that aspire to reach all corners of the world, 24/7.

The Vuulr Supply Chain

Leading The Adoption Of The New Industry Standard

The Vuulr Supply Chain, also known as the Content Industry Supply Chain (CISP), is a technology layer which allows Vuulr users to transact digitally while managing rights availability, metadata, and unique IDs associated with each and every title. Our easy-to-use tools implement existing global industry standards and best practices.

This solution is free for Vuulr users. Third party users can also adopt CISP independent of the marketplace under a sofware-as-a-service (SaaS) model.

The Vuulr Supply Chain leverages open source applications and platform technology based on the MovieLabs Digital Distribution Framework (MDDF) using the Blockchain. (Learn more about the MDDF)

The MDDF framework and standards are supported by the major studios and major digital platforms –
Disney, Fox, Lionsgate, NBCU, Paramount, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros, Amazon, Google Play, Microsoft Movies & TV, Comcast, Netflix, Sony PlayStation and Vudu etc.

The Vuulr Supply Chain solves pressing technical issues in digital supply chain automation from Rights/Avails Management to Consumer Experience. Apart from improving data quality, it saves cost and time lost to manual work processes and middlemen, which leads to cost efficiencies for both Buyers and Sellers.
