Connecting films to audiences

We are a non-profit startup working to create the most comprehensive database of independent films and film festivals, connecting filmmakers with fans and industry leaders. Think IMDb, but exclusively for festival films - with a "Where to Watch" link if the film is already out, and a "Get Notified" button if the film is not yet available for streaming.

Filmmaker, unlock your film's full potential!

During festival screenings, films experience their peak public interest — a time when audience engagement and excitement are at their highest.

Yet, this significant opportunity for attention often remains unexplored, as films typically make their online debut long after their festival appearances.

It’s not just about lost views; it’s about missing out on building a lasting relationship with your audience, the support and engagement that could fuel your next projects.

Vurchel ensures your audience's interest is retained. We alert your fans when the film is ready to stream, maintaining momentum from festivals for wider reach and engagement. With Vurchel, your film's buzz isn't just preserved — it's amplified.

François Leroy

François Leroy: Born in 1978, in Caen (France)
In 2002, François and Stephanie traveled to Asia for the first time. They loved the atmosphere so much that they decided to collaborate on their first film, Goodbye Mister Chu. This was followed by three other short films set in Vietnam (Red River Sông Hông, Cold Coffee, and Cadavre Exquis) and two in Hong Kong (Mei Ling, The Awakening of the Insects). With Sisowath quay, their seventh film, they placed their camera in Cambodia for the first time. Since 2002, they have shared their lives between Paris and Asia.
