Founder, Tribushare
Ben Lachaise Wiener is a Paris-based producer and the founder of SYLOE GROUP. After 15+ years producing film, TV and immersive content, he built Tribushare so independent filmmakers could sell their films online, directly to their audience.
Tribushare grew from a recurring release problem: a finished film could have festival attention, backers or an existing community, and still lack one dependable place where those people could pay and watch. His focus is the infrastructure between a finished film and the audience its filmmaker can already reach.
