GuideDoc is a global curated documentary streaming platform

GuideDoc is where the world's best documentaries come together. We hand pick award winning and beautifully crafted films from every corner of the planet, adding new must see titles every day. Our mission is simple, to turn anyone into a documentary lover. We only ask for one thing, great storytelling by filmmakers who know how to move, challenge and inspire.

We are a small team of people who genuinely love documentaries.
Curation is at the heart of what we do. We watch, debate and hand pick every film with care.
We also love technology. We invest heavily in creating the best possible viewing experience, building apps and a platform designed specifically for documentary lovers.
GuideDoc is currently pushing technological innovation in the documentary world like no company before us.

GuideDoc was founded by Victor, a journalist and documentary producer. In 2007 he created a production company dedicated to radio and television. Later, in 2013, he produced a documentary feature that travelled the international festival circuit with great reception. During those years of festivals and screenings around the world, he discovered something you probably already know. Incredible documentary films are made every year and many of them never reach an audience. Not because they are not good, but because the documentary world has a major distribution problem. GuideDoc was created to help solve that problem, to give these films the home and visibility they deserve. You can find additional information, videos, images and logos in our press folder.

· We believe in documentaries that contribute to a better world.

Stories that enlighten, challenge and inspire.

· We do not obsess over premieres.

A great documentary is timeless. If it is good and it has a powerful story, it deserves to be seen.

· We do not seek exclusivity.

We want filmmakers to reach as many viewers as possible and we encourage them to distribute their films on every platform available.

· We adapt to filmmakers, not the other way around.

We are flexible, transparent and easy to work with. This is the agreement we usually offer.

· We do not pay commissions to intermediaries.

We operate on a simple revenue share system.

· Fifty percent of all subscription revenue goes directly to the filmmakers.

The other fifty percent covers everything else, including servers, development, technology, salaries, marketing and operational costs.

· GuideDoc is fully independent and self financed.

We started in September 2016 without external investors. It is not easy, but it keeps us free and focused on our mission.

· We keep costs extremely low to maximize filmmaker earnings.

We avoid unnecessary expenses like format conversions, sending tapes across oceans or outdated technical processes.

· We do not have a phone number.

We are a small team and work more efficiently by managing everything via email.

· Every day we work to bring documentaries to more people

and to return as much money as possible to the creators who make them.

· We do this because we love it.

If today were our last day, we would be doing exactly the same thing.
