OUR PURPOSE
(Why do we exist?)
WHAT DO WE DO?
We believe in empowering independent filmmakers, musicians, authors, and creative artists to take control of their content and its success. That's why we are dedicated to developing and delivering platforms and services that enable these professionals to achieve their goals.
The services and features on the left will be designed to provide reliable tools and support to independent artists, helping them to build sustainable careers and achieve their full potential. We believe that great ideas and talent deserve the right resources and support to thrive.
WHAT MAKES US
DIFFERENT?
We are committed to fostering creative freedom and enabling independent artists to express themselves without limitations. To achieve this, we have created a new platform that empowers these professionals to have complete control over the distribution and business of their content.
We believe that transparency is essential for building trust in an industry that has often been marked by selfish greed and unethical business practices. By leveraging blockchain technology and embracing NFTs, we are able to create an open and transparent community that supports the success of independent artists.
Our passion for this work comes from our own experiences and understanding of the challenges faced by creatives. We know firsthand what it's like to have doors closed in our faces without explanation, and we are determined to create a better future for all artists.
A brand with a mandate: Sutudu is dedicated to standing up for independent filmmakers and creative artists who have been underserved or exploited by the establishment for too long. While we protest against these injustices, we are also agents of change, offering an alternative model for success that puts the interests of the community first.
Our solutions are "people-powered", meaning that we work closely with the community to create innovative approaches that address their needs. We are driven by a visionary and empathetic approach that seeks to bring about real change in the industry.
We are committed to fighting for the rights and opportunities of independent artists, and we will never forget that their struggle is what motivates us to push boundaries and challenge the status quo. Our brashness and determination are driven by a deep conviction to create a better future for all creatives.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(more updates coming soon)
We fight for the freedom of creative professionals in the independent film, TV, and overall entertainment industry to build together outside of the Hollywood and gatekeepers establishment. We believe that our industry should not be the last to eat, but be as equally important as any other profession. With creativity being so important in today's society, why are talented artists who paid their dues still having a very hard time sustaining a career where as other professions have vast opportunities. We want to be a platform that creates tools, services, and opportunities to drive sustainability.
Although, we have very similar technologies, we believe there are several distinguishing factors that separates us from other marketplaces:
1. It starts with our core values and mindset. That is the foundation that drives all decision making and how we move the platform forward in the future.
2. 100% of the founding team are creative artists. We've been through the all the adversity and have been kicked in the face countless times. We can empathize the problems that artists face.
3. We have an amazing development team where we push boundaries and risks our investments to ensure we are doing everything we can to drive sustainability.
4. Although we don't like to push certain technical aspects that makes us different, but we do have technical features that other marketplaces do not have. One of the biggest distinguishing factor is our patent pending Multi-Royalty smart contract system. It has a lot of complexities and we are patent pending on this technology.
Currently, we are supporting Polygon and Ethereum chains. We plan to support continue to support other chains in the near future.
We want to remain transparent, so, nothing can truly stop someone from selling a counterfeit NFT. Its just like selling markets of any collectable items, as a consumer you have to use your best judgement as to what sellers and NFTs seem legitimate. On Sutudu, collections can be verified and the marketplace is monitored to prevent the selling of counterfeit NFTs. In addition, we plan to implement more verification processes to show authenticity that will create more assurance for the buyers.
No!! NFTs can be videos, gifs, films, music clips, even things like tweets have been sold as NFTs! The limit to what an NFT can be is the limit of your creativity!

Upgrade Sutudu via phase 2
Sutudu's technology is one-of-a-kind, but there is still much work to be done. In the coming months and years, we plan to make a number of significant updates to our marketplace, including improvements to security, the integration of more compatible blockchains, and the implementation of transfer features and content rearranging. We are also working on a new drop page and other enhancements to improve the user experience.
We are committed to continuous improvement and innovation, and we are excited to see where our technology takes us in the future.

A focus on web3 commerce
Web3 commerce solves many problems for small independent businesses that want to do business online. Fewer fees and fast payments allow for higher margins and stronger cashflow than web2 models. We plan to focus on that aspect in the future building tools that will allow businesses to move into that space filled with confidence and trust.

Reporting and analytics
Transparency is everything to allow more collaborations and partnerships to form thus driving more opportunities and a better economy. We plan to build out more reporting services under our platform which will allow us to make better decisions and better ways to communicate to our customers.

Investment DAO
When there is a healthy community with the economics working on all ends, investment and grant opportunities arise to continue to energize and grow the industry. It makes sense that we have a service that allows for outside investors and granters opportunities to find compelling projects.

Launch Film Buyer/Seller Marketplace
As founders, our life work has been about films and music. We understand firsthand how difficult it is for filmmakers to succeed. We plan to show our Rolodex of buyers and collaborative trusting distributors to move projects forward and enable the public to see amazing content that is withheld by major establishments.
70%
Blockchain OTT Platform
We have our vision on how creators of content can be paid and it starts with not being greedy. If our other services are succeeding, we can move ahead and build a platform to expose the deserving films and TV shows on the blockchain. We want to reimagine how royalties are distributed, how content is bought, and how to create more opportunities for the filmmakers driving more deal opportunities with other organizations and buyers.
80%
Marketing Agency Services
It is clear that content is king, but if nobody sees it, then what was the point? The hard work and effort would be wasted. Marketing of the content is equally as important as creating the content. We look to build partnerships and agency services to really help projects be exposed to more opportunities.
90%
Procurement Platform For Suppliers
We are probably many years into the company, but we do imagine having a procurement system for the entertainment industry. We aren't sure why that doesn't really exist as compared to other industries, it's massive especially for government contracts. But we look to solve this problem and continue to drive procurement opportunities for suppliers in hope they land large contracts.
In Summary
This roadmap is a glimpse of what we imagine on how to drive sustainability for content creators. There are vastly more components to the roadmap that is really difficult to display for the public. It's almost that we need to protect our own intellectual property so we can't reveal everything, but rest assured, we are extremely excited for the future.
There is a major problem going on when it comes to opportunities and we would need to lead and advocate to drive change because nobody else is doing it. We hope that our work will allow other organizations to think differently. parents to say to their children that being in the entertainment industry is a great opportunity just equal to being encouraged to become a lawyer, computer expert, doctor, accountant, etc.
We are independent filmmakers, musicians, and creative artists who have firsthand experience with the struggles and challenges of the entertainment industry. We have survived on ramen and Red Bull, fought to get our work distributed, and been rejected by gatekeepers without explanation.
As a company, we are deeply empathetic to the struggles of our fellow artists and are committed to bringing about positive change in the industry. We want to create a future in which independent creators have control over their careers, opportunities, and lives, and are no longer held back by arbitrary barriers. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to share their creative thoughts and vision, and we are dedicated to fighting for that opportunity.
