Tools a film project needs — in one workspace. No more juggling platforms. No more paying for features you don't use. We're building the platform we always wished existed.
Built by a documentary filmmaker who got sick of the alternatives.
Leave your email and we'll notify you when create.sala.video opens for filmmakers.
Your trailer is on Vimeo. Your rough cut is on Google Drive. You emailed the screener via WeTransfer. The press kit is in Dropbox. The stills are scattered across three folders. Your synopsis is in a Google Doc somewhere.
The festival deadline is tomorrow and you can't find the password you set on the screener link.
All the tools exist. They're just not in the same place. And none of them were designed by someone who actually makes films.
Not unlimited storage for things you'll never use. Six purposeful slots that follow the real lifecycle of a film — from first teaser to final screener. Swap the video, keep the link.
Social media, early buzz, festival announcements.

Sala means "room" in Spanish — a screening room. We're building a connected ecosystem for independent film: where you create, where audiences watch, and where the stories behind the stories are told.
The filmmaker's project management and sharing platform. Where your films live while they're being made and submitted.
◉ Building nowA curated documentary streaming platform. Where audiences discover and pay to watch independent films.
○ Coming soonInvestigative journalism and the stories behind the films. Context, accountability, and independent editorial.
○ Coming sooncreate.sala.video is built by Dan Fallshaw — a documentary filmmaker based in Cochabamba, Bolivia, who spent too many years juggling platforms that weren't designed for the work filmmakers actually do.
This isn't a venture-backed startup looking for scale. It's a tool built by someone who needs it, for everyone else who does too.
