What Roll Digital builds for you.

Custom scope to take CinemaForge from MVP shell to operating business.

• ▸Video generation backend leveraging existing models with async job queue
• ▸Stripe billing across free watermarked tier and two paid plans
• ▸Multi-tenant authentication supporting email signup and Google single sign-on
• ▸Creator dashboard for project management, uploads, and export history
• ▸Watermarking enforcement system protecting free tier from unrestricted use
• ▸Email notification system for processing updates and subscription changes
• ▸Initial outreach to r/gamedev and Discord indie game communities
• ▸30-day customer success support for studio onboarding and churn reduction

Why this could work.

The indie game market is fragmented and price-sensitive but needs launch cinematics. Free watermarked exports seed r/gamedev and Discord, building audience at zero CAC. Conversion at 3-5% into paid plans mirrors studio buying patterns near launch when they budget marketing. Community distribution avoids expensive sales infrastructure. Year-one projections of $87k ARR suggest path to break-even by month 12 if conversion models hold and churn stays manageable.

What you'd risk.

Character consistency fails across shots with current AI models, breaking the value prop for studios requiring same characters and environments. Epic and Unity could release native tooling at zero cost. Indie devs are extremely price-sensitive, driving high free-tier abuse and sub-30-day trial churn. One-video-then-cancel usage patterns could keep LTV well below SaaS benchmarks. Probability of success is 13%.

Who this fits.

A founder or agency with existing indie game community presence or credibility on Discord and Twitter. Should have run viral growth or SaaS before, understand free-tier dynamics and churn mitigation. Ideally technical or partnered with a developer. Must be willing to live in Discord and Reddit for months. Not suited for remote-only operators or those expecting passive income.
