Big Couch was co-founded by Maria Tanjala and Irina Albita in 2014, they have established a reputation as a fintech startup in the film industry, working on an innovative co-finance model which has been helping film producers fund their films in the UK, Europe and NY since 2015. In 2017 Big Couch partnered with leading computer scientists at Imperial College London to develop a new, decentralised and transparent product for revenue allocation and distribution. This product is called FilmChain. FilmChain is being built on the Ethereum platform and will provide real-time information, lower friction and increase revenues for the films stakeholders. The prototype will be running film projects by August 2018.
