About Via Chaplin
We believe the best stories are born when the audience takes part from the very first scene
Your ticket into the stories you want to see
On one side, creators with stories to tell and communities that trust them. On the other, an audience that wants more than watching: it wants to take part. Via Chaplin connects the two and rewards everyone along the way.
Direct Connection
Fans and creators side by side, with no middlemen deciding what can or cannot be produced.
Collective Intelligence
The community decides which stories get told. The people who always chose what to watch now choose what gets made.
A New Era for Creators
Creators stop lending their audience to promote other people's work and start starring in their own, with revenue to match.
Our Long-Term Vision
Democratize Audiovisual Production
Transform the entertainment industry so that any creator with an engaged community can produce professional, high-quality content without waiting for a big studio to say yes.
Build the Largest Ecosystem of Creators and Fans
Create a global platform where millions of fans can directly support their favorite creators via Chaplin, actively taking part in the creative process and being rewarded for their engagement and investment.
Revolutionize Monetization for Influencers
Offer influencers a new, sustainable and scalable revenue stream, going beyond traditional advertising and letting them own their works and their own entertainment businesses.
Expand Value for Every Participant
Create an ecosystem where viewers, creators, production companies and partner brands all benefit from one another, generating real value through an integrated network of benefits, experiences and opportunities.

Why did we create Via Chaplin?
Brazilian creators have built audiences of millions. Even so, when they try to turn that strength into real film and television, they keep running into the same closed door: not enough funding, not enough structure, too much dependence on advertising.
On the other side, audiences have never been more willing to directly support the people they admire. But today's options ask for money in exchange for promises: donate now, maybe get something someday.
Via Chaplin was born to unite these two worlds: giving creators the tools to turn ideas into professional productions, and giving the audience a real stake in the process, with concrete benefits from day one, not just promises.
“We believe the best stories emerge when creators and communities work together.”
That is why we are building Via Chaplin: to make it possible at scale.
