Hollywood Disrupted: SHARE Empowers Filmmakers with Community-Driven Funding Model
'This is about more than just funding films, it's about fundamentally changing how films get made.'— Erin Norman, CEO and Co-Founder of SHARE LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 8, 2025 / / -- SHARE, the new filmmaker -first platform disrupting Hollywood's traditional gatekeeping, is proud to announce its Community Greenlight Initiative. SHARE commits to fund independent film projects directly from its platform's growth and community support. It's a bold new model aimed at building a stronger, more sustainable future for independent filmmakers. At the heart of SHARE's mission is a simple promise: 'We Grow, You Grow.' As the platform expands, so does its investment in the creative community. With every major growth milestone reached, SHARE will launch a new funding round exclusively for its members. Unlike traditional studio systems where executives dictate what gets made, SHARE puts the decision-making power back where it belongs, with the film community itself. Unlike most tech platforms serving the film industry, which generate millions in revenue each month without reinvesting in the creators who fuel their success, SHARE is built differently. The company believes that the filmmakers driving the industry forward should also benefit from its growth. Through its Community Greenlight Initiative, SHARE pledges to allocate a portion of its earnings directly back to the filmmaking community. This groundbreaking strategy ensures that as SHARE expands, so does its commitment to funding projects, supporting creative talent, and helping filmmakers get back to work. Filmmakers never pay the investment back—instead, they pay it forward. A small percentage of each film's success goes back into the Community Greenlight fund, helping fuel the next round of projects and giving more filmmakers the chance to bring their stories to life. The first Community Greenlight round will award five filmmakers $20,000 each to produce short films totaling $100,000 in direct investment, once SHARE reaches its first milestone of 10,000 pro subscribers. Pro memberships are just $9.99/month, and every subscription helps SHARE bring more funding directly to the film community, empowering members to vote on the projects they want to see green lit and made. 'We're building a platform where filmmakers don't have to wait for permission. The community gets to choose.' said Erin Norman, CEO and Co-Founder of SHARE. How It Works: - Once SHARE reaches 10,000 Pro Members, they unlock their first Community Greenlight funding round. - Filmmakers add their projects to SHARE and launch their own campaigns, rallying the SHARE community, friends, family, and fans to vote. - The project with the most votes at the deadline gets the funding. It's that simple. - In the first round, five filmmakers will each receive $20,000 in production funding for their short films. This cycle repeats every time SHARE hits a new milestone. More members = more films funded with bigger budgets. SHARE is democratizing how films get made, putting the power back in the hands of the creative community. No gatekeepers. Just stories chosen by the people. With this initiative, SHARE is not only creating opportunities for filmmakers to get their work funded and seen, but also fostering a new creator economy built on transparency, empowerment, and community-driven decision making. To learn more or become a Pro Member, visit About SHARE: SHARE is a revolutionary platform founded by filmmakers for filmmakers, dedicated to democratizing the entertainment industry by providing tools, funding, and exposure for independent creators around the world. By completely reimagining the financial model of filmmaking, SHARE is creating an ecosystem where creators have direct access to funding, services, and collaboration—all while ensuring they retain control over their work.

Q & A: Black Lives Matter Canada co-founder Sandy Hudson on her new book, ‘Defund'
TORONTO - Sandy Hudson's new book on police abolition comes just ahead of the five-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder, and while much has changed since then, the urgency with which many of the activists call for police abolition hasn't. With 'Defund: Black Lives, Policing, and Safety For All' (HarperCollins Canada), the 39-year-old Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based co-founder of Black Lives Matter Canada says she wants to give other activists the key arguments in favour of defunding the police and boosting investment in community resources and infrastructure. 'Defund,' which was released in April, traces how the movement has rippled across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom since 2014. It gained support after Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, launching a cultural reckoning about race, power and public safety. Now, Hudson's book comes out amid renewed tough-on-crime commitments by the U.S. government — an agenda that was echoed on the recent Canadian campaign trail. But defund activists maintain that more police presence does not make all people feel safer — one example is intimate partner violence, which 95 municipalities in Ontario and Nova Scotia have recently recognized as an epidemic; another is increased police presence on school campuses and at demonstrations since the protests over the war in Gaza. Hudson spoke with The Canadian Press about how some of these issues have changed the movement, and her optimism for the future. CP: Is there anything you want readers to be thinking about while reading the book? SH: 'I started the book talking about how we think about policing altogether and the propaganda that's around policing. I want people to really try and suspend whatever notions they have about the police when they're reading the book … I also want people to consider the fact that since the mid-'70s it's been really popular with politicians and policy makers to promise to be tough on crime (and) promise to put more money in policing in order to solve the safety issue. Not one politician has ever claimed victory and they have not solved the safety issue. Regardless of anything else, what they're doing right (right now) is inadequate.' CP: What got you involved in activism? SH: 'I was a student activist at the University of Toronto and I had been doing a lot of work on campus at that time surrounding racial justice and the experiences that Black students in particular were having on campus. Around 2014, Jermaine Carby was killed by a police officer in Brampton (Ontario) after what they called a routine traffic stop, even though that's not something that is routine so much … It wasn't huge on the news, and I knew from my own contacts that the family was having a really hard time trying to get the issue of what had happened to Jermaine Carby out in the media and known more publicly. Shortly after that, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri in the United States. That made a lot of news, with lots and lots of coverage in Canada — far more than what happened to Jermaine Carby — and I, myself, and other folks working on anti-Black racism issues were all really frustrated by this because here was this issue in the United States that deserves the coverage it got in Canada, but there was a similar issue here just before that didn't get the same sort of scrutiny and concern by media here. CP: You mention in the book that there was a bit of a journey for you to get to the position that defunding policing institutions is necessary. What led you to the position you ultimately hold now? SH: 'I watched police procedural television growing up, I'm not immune to that. What changed my position was having interactions with police through attempts at democratic participation, through rallies and protests, and seeing how (police) attempt to instigate issues and escalate violence … and also interactions with people in my own family and people that I'm close with (weren't) keeping in line with the myth that we're told.' 'When we're calling the police, we're often trying to deal with some sort of conflict resolution. Are the police solving or resolving this conflict or are they using violence and power on us in a way that just isn't actually a resolution to this, but in some ways could be even more dangerous? I had to ask myself the question 'what do the police do well?' And when I started to do my own study and really investigate it, I struggled to find the answer. I think that a lot of what (the police) accomplish is just being an easy answer for policy-makers who don't want to do the really difficult work of shifting or creating systems and institutions that will actually be helpful in creating conditions of safety.' CP: You mention at one point in the book that you have a lot of optimism about an alternative to policing. What's driving this optimism? SH: 'I do think people take safety very seriously and they want to be safe. People will eventually realize that policing isn't the thing that's doing it. I don't think this status quo can go on forever. I'm also optimistic because there was a time before policing. The one thing we know is, change is constant and I think there will be a time after policing. I've seen what it's like when you're really on the fringe of an idea, and we've been talking about this for quite some time in activist spaces, to see (police abolition) be in a place where it's being discussed in the mainstream. That gives me a sense of hope as well, like it's possible to do the education and let people know what police are accomplishing and what they're not accomplishing such that people might decide it's time to do something different.' CP: You talk about intimate partner violence in the book as an area where police have failed to protect people's safety. (Hudson argues more preventive measures are needed to protect women, and that the police system can sometimes criminalize victims.) SH: 'I write in the book about how policing can actually make it more difficult for people who are trying to escape a hard, domestic violence situation because you simply don't have the tools to support people who are having that experience. But if we take some of those resources that we're putting into policing to solve this issue that they have not been able to solve and put it into resourcing and making sure that people have the ability to leave a place, a financial support to leave a place, and that emotional support to leave a place.' CP: What are some examples of services we need to see more of in order to move away from policing institutions? SH: 'We put a bunch of money into either transit-specific police or the regular police to patrol the transit system to catch people when they evade the fare and make sure they have some sort of punishment, instead of thinking about the problem — (which may be that) that people can't afford the fare, and maybe we can do away with that being an issue altogether by taking the money we're spending by trying to surveil and punish people on the transit system and instead put it into the transit system so that it can be cheaper or free. 'Thinking about how we deal with issues of health that the police are being told to deal with (is another area) … For decades we've been fine with the police showing up and harming people when what they really need is support and treatment. And so we see the proliferation, especially since 2020, of these programs that are meant to provide support and resources to people that are going through an emergency situation. The same sort of approach can be taken to issues of drugs and addiction. For so long we have criminalized drug use, even though we know that addiction is a physiological issue, it's a health issue. What is a police officer going to do for someone who has an addiction? What is incarceration going to do for someone who has an addiction? It's certainly not going to solve the problem or the proliferation of these economies on our streets. In fact, they make these economies go even more underground and even more dangerous. So if we approach this as a public health issue and provide people with the support they need, we will have a better approach and can eliminate certain crimes.' — This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

‘Yellowjackets' star Steven Krueger on Coach Ben Scott's ‘necessary' mercy killing: ‘The story needs this death to happen'
While 'Yellowjackets' stars and fans alike were sad to see Coach Ben Scott die in Season 3, Steven Krueger said his murder was 'necessary' for the show's future. Krueger, 35, who played the soccer team's self-aware mentor, sat down with The Post to discuss his thoughts on his character's death, revealing he knew Coach Ben's fate long before they started filming the latest season. 'They [the showrunners] said, 'Hey, this season is going to be the end for Coach Ben,' which I kind of had an inkling. We had discussed it kind of informally at the very beginning of the show,' he explained to The Post. 'So, I kind of knew Season 3 was like about the time range.' Advertisement In Episode 6, viewers watched as teen Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) kills Coach Ben behind her teammates' backs after the 'Yellowjackets' turned on him. 14 Steven Krueger addressed his character's demise in an interview with The Post. 14 Steven Krueger as Ben Scott in 'Yellowjackets.' Kailey Schwerman/Paramount+ with SHOWTIME Advertisement The teens held him hostage and cut his Achilles tendon so he couldn't escape after they found him guilty of burning down the cabin they were staying in following their plane crash. After repeatedly pleading with Natalie to end his life, she did, resulting in her being dethroned as the leader of the group. Coach Ben's corpse was then beheaded, cooked, and eaten by the group — poetic justice for his character, Krueger said. 'This is really poetic. It's like a strong hero's death in a way,' the star told The Post. 'The second thing is, it's really, really necessary because, truthfully, the rest of the story needs this death to happen for, like any of this, to continue.' 14 He played the 'Yellowjackets' soccer team's mentor for three Seasons.

Colin Bentley/Paramount+ with SH Krueger shared that Coach Ben's death was a 'chain reaction' that ultimately 'sets off everything else down the road.' He pointed to the frog scientists and their wilderness guide — Hanna (Ashley Sutton), Edwin (Nelson Franklin) and Kody (Joel McHale), respectively — being captured and two-thirds of them being brutally murdered after witnessing Coach Ben's bloody head on a stake. Advertisement 'I don't think that any of that would have taken place if Coach Ben was still alive,' Krueger explained. 'If they knew in the back of their heads that they didn't have to answer for this guy's head being on a stake right here. I think this all would have gone down very, very differently.' 14 Steven Krueger said Coach Ben's death led to a 'chain reaction' that was 'necessary' for the story.

Kailey Schwerman/Paramount+ with SHOWTIME 14 Steven Krueger also shared that he knew about his character's death well in advance to filming. While Krueger appreciated his co-stars telling The Post that his death was the hardest for them to come to terms with this season, which saw many main characters meet their demise, the actor appreciated knowing that his time on the show was ending in advance. 'I've never been given like the courtesy of being told well, in advance, you know,' said Krueger, who has also starred on shows like 'Pretty Little Liars,' 'The Originals' and 'Roswell, New Mexico.' 'This was like 4 months before we ever started filming, so truly everything was done in such a kind way, and it allowed me to kind of also prepare for exactly what I needed to do for kind of the overall arc of the season.' 14 Steven Krueger as Ben Scott. Colin Bentley/Paramount+ with SH Advertisement 14 Coach Ben Scott was their trusted soccer coach who looked after the ladies when their plane went down in the wilderness until they believed he had turned on them. Paul Sarkis/SHOWTIME When asked if he would change anything about the way Coach Ben was taken out, Krueger responded, 'Honestly, I think, for the way that the story went, this is exactly what I would have wanted. I love the idea that this death was like a mercy kill. And yet it still was probably not the right thing to do.' He then joked that he would have obviously preferred his character stay alive. 'Let's make Coach Ben alive in the future, and maybe he gets taken out by by Shauna or one of the other ladies in the future,' Krueger teased. 'I think there was like a lot of fun story stuff there, but at the same time it's hard to complain because I really do feel like it was a beautiful story. You know there's not a lot of qualms that I have with the way that the story turned out.' Advertisement 14 Steven Krueger said he remains close with his former castmates. Brendan Meadows/SHOWTIME 14 His co-stars told The Post exclusively that they 'bawled our eyes out' when they said goodbye to Steven Krueger. Colin Bentley/Paramount+ with SHOWTIME At a finale event last month, several of Krueger's 'Yellowjackets' co-stars told The Post exclusively that the group 'bawled our eyes out' when they had to say goodbye to this character and their real-life friend. However, the actor said that he's still close with several of his former colleagues. Advertisement 'I have a very close relationship with both Sophie Nelisse (teen Shauna) and Courtney Eaton (teen Lottie). We have a little group chat, and we connect all the time,' he said, adding, 'We all love to cook, so we randomly send each other, like little recipes. 14 The thriller jumps between the teen soccer team's 1996 plane crash and the survivors in the present day.

Advertisement The murders of adult Lottie (Simone Kessell) and adult Van (Lauren Ambrose) were also hard for fans to digest. Kessell's character takes a nasty tumble down the stairs after an unlikely killer pushes her to her death, and Ambrose's Van is brutally stabbed in the heart. The 10-episode thriller jumps between the teen soccer team's 1996 plane crash and the survivors in the present day, which include stars Melanie Lynskey (adult Shauna), Christina Ricci (adult Misty), Tawny Cypress (adult Tai) and Oscar winner Hilary Swank (adult Melissa). 'Yellowjackets' Season 3 is now available to stream on Paramount+ with Showtime.
