CreatorPlus

CreatorPlus, also known as Creator+, is a Los Angeles-based entertainment startup founded in 2021 by Benjamin Grubbs and Jonathan Shambroom.

The company aimed to create a film studio and streaming platform for digital-first storytellers and influencers, allowing them to produce and release feature-length films directly to their fans. CreatorPlus focused on empowering social media creators with resources for full-length films, utilizing a premium video-on-demand (PVOD) model that offered transparent revenue sharing and audience analytics. The company produced feature-length films starring digital influencers and had plans for multiple projects, with its first releases targeted for early 2022. CreatorPlus also developed an exclusive PVOD app for direct-to-fan distribution, emphasizing backend revenue sharing without traditional ads. In late 2023, CreatorPlus began winding down operations and pursuing asset sales, including completed films and technology, with transactions expected in early 2024.
