In the past ten years, the movie industry has experienced a revolution, and at the forefront of this transformation are streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+. The days of waiting in long queues at the cinema or flipping through TV channels for something to watch are behind us. Streaming services has completely changed the way we watch movies, offering easy access to a variety of films with a tap. From big-budget movies to art-house cinema, it’s all just a stream away, redefining not only how we view cinema but also how they’re created and brought to audiences.

The popularity of streaming has made content more accessible in ways we couldn’t have foreseen. We are no longer bound by studio limitations, filmmakers—especially indie directors—now have the opportunity to distribute their movies with a worldwide audience outside the boundaries of the cinema system. This has resulted in an surge of varied stories from retirement education around the world, empowering viewers to discover perspectives that would have previously been difficult to access. For viewers, this means more diversity, endless options, and films aligned with their preferences.

Beyond variety, digital platforms have also altered the economics of filmmaking. Streaming subscriptions enable a steady revenue stream, enabling production companies to produce more experimental and specialised projects that might not find success in theaters. The binge-viewing phenomenon has become a phenomenon, with viewers bingeing entire movie franchises or movie universes in one marathon. Streaming is not just a trend—it’s the next era of film, combining ease of access, originality, and worldwide audiences like never before.
