Streaming platform drives the “First to 54” mission, working directly with filmmakers and creators as well as partnering with national film boards to scale independent cinema across the continent and showcase cinema and video content from every African country

LONDON — August 2026 — AfroPix, the dedicated streaming platform for authentic African and Caribbean cinema, is accelerating its cross-continental rollout, establishing official distribution pipelines with national film boards, cultural ministries, festival curators and directly with African filmmakers and creators to ensure content from every single Sub-Saharan African country and the Caribbean is represented on the platform.

Operating as a UK-registered global streaming platform, AfroPix is built to solve the systemic distribution and monetization bottlenecks that have historically undermined regional talent. Under its transparent creator-first compensation structure, creators are paid for every single view regardless of audience size, calculated at a clear rate per view illustrated globally in US dollars (such as $0.03 USD per view, translating to $300 USD for 10,000 views and scaling up to $3,000 USD for 100,000 views), providing a sustainable revenue model designed to empower independent cinema across emerging markets.

“We are on a mission to tell African stories,” said Tyrone Satchwell, Founder & CEO of AfroPix. “By building strategic partnerships across Africa and the Caribbean, we are executing our mission to ensure authentic representation from every nation in those regions, while building a sustainable, equitable creative ecosystem. We want African filmmakers and digital creators to get in touch with us directly to bring their content onto the platform and share their work with global audiences.”

Key Pillars of the AfroPix Model:

Disrupting Creator Economics: Bypassing traditional algorithmic monopolies and low local advertising CPMs by paying creators fairly for every single view regardless of audience size, illustrated in USD globally at a clear rate per view (e.g., $300 USD for 10,000 views, scaling up to $3,000 USD for 100,000 views).

Empowering 10,000 Filmmakers: Slated to begin in mid-2027, AfroPix is launching a committed initiative to train 10,000 filmmakers across Sub-Saharan Africa, with a firm guarantee that a minimum of 50% of participants will be women to drive measurable female empowerment.

Actively partnering with national film boards, creators and film festivals across Africa and the Caribbean to establish official distribution pipelines and bring regional cinema directly to global audiences—proven by recent milestone rollouts such as the Ethiopian International Film Festival showcase.

Veteran Leadership: Co-founded by CEO Tyrone Satchwell (director of the acclaimed documentary Inclusion Delusion), alongside Gambian-British actor Lamin Tamba and industry veteran Chris Deering (former President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe).

AfroPix is live and operational, bringing independent features, documentaries, and shorts to global viewers. Viewers and creators can explore the platform at www.afropix.com.
