Klipist is a streaming service for the best short films that we carefully select, curate and support. Our mission is to get the films seen, inspire viewers and create opportunities for independent filmmakers.
Our community started in London, but our films are reaching all corners of the world – we have visitors from 190 countries and are now the highest ranking short film streaming platform on Google.
Everyone on the team is from the film industry. Unlike other platforms, we genuinely care about short films and independent filmmaking.
100% of the profits go towards promoting the filmmakers and their films. Our primary goal is to grow their reach as much as we can.
Each team member has made several short films themselves and understands the struggles and needs of filmmakers.
We handpick only the very best short films, championing unseen stories, unheard voices and the best creatives right across the world.
We make short films easy to find and accessible worldwide. No geo-blocking, no ads, no subscriptions and no signups.
We're also a place for filmmakers to gain inspiration from other filmmakers, learn inside secrets and share filmmaking tips.
We are building a community for our filmmakers, organising screenings and networking events and connecting them to a global audience of short film lovers.
“Thousands of incredible short films get made each year. Yet before making my own ones, none of my friends had ever watched a short film before - not a single one! Why? There seems to be a stigma around short films and it frustrates me, that because of it, short films are not being seen by the general public. I want to change that perception and make watching short films exciting. Not just for industry people, but for families, friends and film lovers. To achieve this I want to build the best platform for short films out there."
Background: 5 produced shorts, acting work for 20+ short films, OSCAR® Academy Award-winning film, BAFTA-nominated series and with Golden Globe winning actors. Founder of programming studio Loxotipu.
"I initially joined because my husband is so passionate about Klipist and insisted I watch every film. After experiencing the remarkable talent and storytelling firsthand, I was inspired to elevate short films to a global stage by leveraging my unique background in international sales and by bringing in fresh perspectives."
Background: Head of Sales for international companies, with extensive experience in consulting, sourcing, project management, logistics and strategic development across the UK, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and China.
"When you see a good short film at a film festival you're like 'YES' they've nailed it and that's what we try to do on Klipist. We want to bring the best of the best for people. So we go above and beyond to select films that are beautiful, brave, and meaningful, always valuing quality over quantity."

"It’s never been easier to stream content, and there have never been so many providers, from dedicated film platforms to video-based social media. And yet, do you watch short films like you would stream feature films? Probably not. Because short films are a bit everywhere but really nowhere. That’s why we want to give short films the opportunity to be found and inspire. We want to create a home for high-quality content. And whether you’re a filmmaker or a film lover, we’d love you to be part of this journey with us."
Background: PR and Communications for TV groups (TV5Monde, M6 Group), SEO manager for a global theatre ticketing company, founder of a short film production association
"It's one thing to tell a beautiful story in 90 minutes. But how do you do it in 15? What about 10? Or 5? The skill to create memorable short films is something that I admire. A skill that needs celebrating!"
Background: Established Bulgarian actress (Cannes Film Festival, Amazon, Sony...), events manager for a high-profile events company
We are proud to have formed great partnerships with companies that support independent filmmaking.
