movielink.to
A Vimeo On Demand alternative built for filmmakers
MovieLink is for filmmakers releasing work directly to an audience. Instead of waiting on a distributor or building a website around a single film, you create a movielink.to link and send people straight to the film's selling and watch experience.
Built around a film release
A release doesn't need a catalog, a slot or a platform's editorial calendar. It needs a page people can pay on and a link you can put in a trailer description, a press note or a poster.
- Independent features
- Documentaries
- Short films
- Special releases and premieres
- Paid online screenings
- Direct-to-audience distribution
How a MovieLink release works
The path from finished cut to a link you can share is short by design.
- Add your film file or hosted video.
- Create the MovieLink and set the price and payment options the system supports.
- Share one movielink.to address — viewers buy access there and watch through LinkEase's existing access system.
What it costs
LinkEase charges a 0% platform fee on ordinary seller sales. Stripe's payment-processing fees still apply and are charged by Stripe.
Today MovieLink supports selling access to a film. Timed rental windows are not part of the product yet, so a purchase grants access rather than a time-limited rental.

Filmmaker questions
- What can filmmakers use instead of Vimeo On Demand?
- MovieLink.to is one option for selling a film directly. You add the film, set a price and share a movielink.to link where viewers buy access and watch.
- Can I sell my film without a distributor or a website?
- Yes. The MovieLink is the release page, so you can go direct to your audience without a distribution deal or a custom site.
- Does MovieLink support rentals?
- Not today. MovieLink currently supports selling access to a film rather than time-limited rentals.
- Does MovieLink take a cut of my film sales?
- LinkEase charges a 0% platform fee on ordinary seller sales. Stripe charges its own payment-processing fees.
- Can I use a MovieLink for a premiere or paid screening?
- Yes. A MovieLink can sell paid access to a premiere or online screening the same way it sells access to a finished film.
