Fisher Klingenstein Ventures, LLC, doing business as FilmRise, is a New York–based film/television studio and streaming network, which has become one of the largest independent providers of content to ad-supported streaming (AVOD) platforms,[1] in addition to providing the largest free direct to consumer service with its 22 owned-and-operated streaming channels, the "FilmRise Streaming Network".[2][3] Currently [as of whrn?], the FilmRise Streaming Network has reported more than 31.5 million downloads in the U.S. and can be seen on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Comcast, iOS, Android and Apple, among other platforms.[4] FilmRise also syndicates its own digital linear channels (aka "Free ad-supported streaming television") to platforms including The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, and Amazon's Freevee and Vizio.[5][6][7][8][9]

FilmRise has created a proprietary data analytics algorithm methodology that predicts consumer demand of content irrespective of perceived industry demand. This content is either under the radar or significantly underestimated by the industry.[10][11]

The company was founded in 2012 by producer/financiers Danny Fisher, Jack Fisher, and Alan Klingenstein.[12][13]

FilmRise has experienced rapid growth in revenue and profitability over the past several years, as its predictive analytics of content usage has resulted in high traffic of its content library of over 40,000 movies and TV episodes on third-party platforms including The Roku Channel, Paramount's Pluto TV, Fox Corp's Tubi, NBCUniversal's Peacock, Samsung TV Plus, Soul's Crackle/Redbox and Amazon's Freevee, as well as the growth of its own direct to consumer service, the FilmRise Streaming Network. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused streaming to surge as audiences are viewing their entertainment primarily from home.[14][15][16][17]

In addition to digital syndication to streaming services, FilmRise licenses content to cable and broadcast partners such as WBD's HBO, Starz, PBS and Paramount Global.[18][19]
