Throwing Fruit offered a direct-to-audience film distribution platform for independent filmmakers.
Throwing Fruit built a content management system that let filmmakers distribute films, series, and specials directly to audiences through mobile apps on their own terms. The platform served independent creators seeking an alternative to traditional distribution channels.
The company operated from New York after its 2013 launch, later rebranding as CHNL Media before shutting down permanently.
