Taye Diggs is stepping into the rapidly growing vertical entertainment space with Microhouse Films. Diggs, alongside partners Autumn Federici, Shelby Stone, James Black and Troy Brookins, has launched the mobile-first storytelling platform with seven original series and a model designed to give filmmakers greater control over distribution and monetization.

Microhouse Films enables creators to produce, distribute and monetize their work within a single platform, removing traditional barriers between content creation, monetization and audience access. Unlike traditional self-distribution models, the platform charges no subscription, upload or hosting fees for creators. Through an ad-free, credit-based model, filmmakers determine which episodes are free and which are unlocked using in-app credits, giving creators control over pricing, release strategy and revenue. To celebrate the launch, anyone who downloads the app before July 8 at 8 a.m. PT will receive five complimentary credits to begin unlocking premium episodes.
“When we first introduced Microhouse Films, our goal was to create a platform where filmmakers could take ownership of how their stories reach audiences,” Diggs said. “Launching the platform today is an exciting milestone, but it’s really just the beginning.”
With its mix of bite-sized programming and creator-controlled distribution, Microhouse Films is positioning itself as a new destination for filmmakers looking beyond traditional streaming models. Its seven-project inaugural slate gives the platform an immediate range of genres as it begins building its audience.
