The Cohort City Operator program licenses the full 14-day Film Lab framework to local partners in St. Louis. Operators run the labs on the ground, recruit local crews, host Night 1 and Night 2, and tap into the central Cohort platform for ticketing, member directory, payouts, asset management, and brand assets. We provide the engine. You run the city.
Operators run labs on the ground in St. Louis. That means booking venues for Night 1 and Night 2, recruiting local crew, marketing the lab locally, and being the in-person host. Cohort HQ handles the platform, payments, brand, and the lab framework.
The full 14-day lab playbook, brand assets, ticketing and payments infrastructure, the cohort member directory, the asset vault, payout rails, lead funnels, and direct ops support during launch.
Operators take a revenue share on lab participation fees, local marketplace sales, and any local sponsorships they bring in. The exact split is finalized in the operator agreement.
Submit an operator application from the City Launch Kit page. We review fit, local network, venue access, and runway, then schedule a call.
