SEPTEMBER PAYOUTS, SPONSORS + WHATāS NEXT FOR FILMSAI
The September leaderboard is now complete for total eligible minutes uploaded per creator. But it does not show each creatorās complete September payout.
Hereās the breakdown:
$1,600: September uploads
This is the pool reflected in the leaderboard, allocated according to eligible September-upload minutes.
$400: OG creators
This separate pool still needs to be allocated. It includes creators who uploaded to FilmsAI before September 1, 2026.
Your exact payout total, including any applicable OG allocation, will be emailed to you on October 5 when you receive your September payment.
WHO FUNDED SEPTEMBER?
I want to make sure the credit goes to the right people.
$1,500 was sponsored by a personal friend of Paul Hawkins.
$500 came directly from Paul Hawkinsās own money.
Total: $2,000.
Paul and his friend deserve the thanks for funding September, not me.
As I explained when we launched the program in early September, our September sponsors came from the FilmsAI ownersā personal circle. These were not corporate sponsorships.
That funding was committed entirely to supporting creators:
100% of the $2,000 September pool goes to eligible creators. FilmsAI keeps $0.
