"Created by filmmakers (and brothers) Juan de Dio and Pablo Larraín - whose past work includes Spencer and Jackie - Pijama aims to give artists a new way to get their indie projects seen by much larger audiences without the help of traditional studios. For a flat $100 fee, Pijama will host, encode, and stream films on its platform for up to two years."
"Filmmakers will be able to choose how much to charge for their work, with rental pricing ranging between $3.99 and $9.99. And viewers will be able to access their rentals during a "72-hour viewing window over 30 days." In a statement about service, the Larraíns emphasized that they wanted to launch Pijama in order to democratize access to indie films and address the "traditional distribution barriers" that often keep projects from being seen by audiences who might not even know they exist."
