We Tried to Play by the Rules.The Tech Played Us.So We’re Done.

Shortly.film is shutting down. Because settling for “good enough” isn’t our style, and it shouldn’t be yours either.

Whether you’re a filmmaker pouring your soul into every frame, or a viewer hungry for stories that matter, you deserve better.

We launched Shortly.film to be more than just another streaming platform. We wanted a home for bold creativity and authentic connection. The tech behind the scenes let us down hard.

We could have kept patching problems and dialing down our standards. That’s not who we are and that’s not honest. You deserve the full promise: quality, respect, and real experience. The glitches broke that promise.

So here’s the truth:

Shortly.film is closing for good.
This isn’t a pause or a “see you later.” This chapter is ending.
We won’t be coming back in this form.

Why This Matters Now

If you’re tired of platforms that treat you like just another number, or artists whose work gets lost in the noise, you’re not alone. This shutdown is a wake-up call, demand better, always.

What Happens Next?

Shortly.film will no longer operate as a streaming service.
No relaunch, no reboot — this is final.

Final Words:

“Revolutionaries don’t ask permission. They either make the rules or break them. We’re choosing the latter.”
