Slipstream
The Netflix for adventure outdoor films. Slipstream includes hundreds of action sports films with categories such as surfing, snow sports, rock climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, running, environmental documentaries and festival winners.
“We're constantly inspired by these films but realized there wasn't anywhere to find them all on one place, so we designed a place where filmmakers can reach new audiences and monetize in a meaningful way”
says Slipstream co-founder Keegan McColl.
There’s a growing appetite for adventure films that inspire and better connect viewers with nature and the outdoors. Slipstream focuses on story driven, narrative films that motivate us all to get out to explore these spaces that now more than ever are at risk.
Slipstream allows viewers access to a growing library of adventure films curated to their taste on mobile, tablet, PC and Smart TV. Films are categorized by interest, including Surfing, Snow sports, Rock Climbing, Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Running, Environmental Documentaries and Festival Winners. Slipstream also features ‘top film picks’ playlists from leaders in the outdoor space like Hazel Findlay, Semi Rad, Seb Montaz, JJ Wessels and Xavier de le Rue.
When conceptualizing Slipstream, we put filmmakers first, allocating 70% of all monthly revenues for content creators. Without the middlemen of services like Netflix, iTunes and Spotify, viewers can feel good about their money reaching the pockets of the creators. How we think it should be.
“Feedback has been amazing so far. We've hi-fived as some of our heroes like Chris Burkard, Hazel Findlay & Xavier de le Rue have signed up”. Early users are saying they're excited about being part of a community that supports storytellers and shares their connection with the outdoors. This community has been waiting a long time for this.
Slipstream is a product of Reelhouse. Reelhouse was founded in 2012 (by the same team who built Slipstream) and offers video distribution tools for clients like Warner Bros., The Sundance Institute & A24. The group is made up of a small group of young engineers, designers and craft beer lovers living in Vancouver, who love spending our weekends in the mountains or on the coast.
