Who can submit films to Lesflicks?
Unlike most platforms, we love to accept submissions directly from content creators who don't have distributors or want to self-distribute. We also work with distributors.
What genres and formats do we accept?
If your film contains a lesbian or bisexual core storyline, we’d love to hear from you. The age or duration of the film does not matter. We accept all genres.
How much do you pay for films?
Lesflicks pays royalties based on views. We pay rates dependent on when films come to Lesflicks. We pay higher royalties for exclusivity, but this is not a prerequisite.
Why Lesflicks?

Subscription platforms pay more per view

A number of different outlets have spoken to us over the years. You can listen to these interviews on Spotify. It is a great way to understand what we do, and why we’re different.
Representation on mainstream streaming services exists, but only to an extent. We are able to see that through the number of titles, and the storylines within those titles.
When it comes to stories about queer women, the stories are usually one of two things - a brilliant, award winning historical or biographical film that ultimately ends in heartbreak or disaster, or a heavily sexualised, plot-light movie that has blatantly been crafted for the male gaze.
We want more than this. We deserve more than this. And this is precisely why Lesflicks was founded.

We officially launched in March 2020; and by the end of December 2023 we hit the amazing milestone of paying out £50,000 in royalties to our clients. By October 2025 we have reached £75,000. Thanks to our amazing audiences subscribing, and our talented clients for trusting a new platform to not be like the others; we’ve been able to do what we set out to - and we’re not stopping any time soon!

Bigger and Better
Lesflicks is one of the newer LGBTQ+ platforms on the block, but our innovative and social enterprise focus means we've been able to quickly grow to one of the largest. We did that by curating quality content; paying fairly for content and sharing the revenue with filmmakers and distributors.

4 considerations when offered a fixed fee
Why do platforms offer a fixed fee?
Understanding distribution windows
Tips to distribution success
SVOD or AVOD?
Lower views with higher royalties; or more views with lower royalties? Actually neither are wrong, it is about ensuring you consider both windows and in the correct order.
However, AVOD should only be considered for Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video or YouTube. Independent streaming platforms cannot generate enough ad revenue or views to make the model work. If mainstream channels cannot get advertisers, how would a small streamer? AVOD should only be considered on platforms that garner hundreds of thousands of views and that have quality ads.
