APEX Film Deliverables is the end-to-end workflow platform built for indie filmmakers delivering their films to TUBI and other streaming platforms. DESIGNED FOR FILMMAKERS Track every deliverable your distributor needs — trailer, closed captions, full film, artwork, metadata, and screen grabs — all in one place. See real-time status updates the moment your team marks something ready. YOUR FILMS, YOUR PORTAL Every filmmaker gets a private portal showing the live status of each deliverable, a 14-day countdown when your film is accepted by TUBI, and a monthly Avail Sheet reminder so you never miss the submission deadline. DIRECT COMMUNICATION Message your delivery team directly through the in-app chat — one thread per film, no email chains. Get push notifications the moment something changes on your title. TUBI DELIVERY, SIMPLIFIED Once every deliverable is ready, APEX handles the TUBI submission package — master, captions, posters, metadata, and screen grabs — delivered on the 25th of every month. Watch your film go from intake to live on TUBI without touching a spreadsheet. SERVICE ORDERS Need artwork, closed captions, or screen grabs produced by the APEX team? Request services directly in the app, track order progress, and download finished files as soon as they're ready. BUILT BY FILMMAKERS, FOR FILMMAKERS APEX is a Detroit-based distribution services studio. We've spent years helping indie filmmakers navigate the paperwork and technical specs that stand between a finished film and a streaming platform. This app is the tool we built for ourselves — and now it's yours.
