Why We’re Building REIDframed Plus
Sep 30, 2025
TL;DR: REIDframed Plus is our new home for bold storytelling — a platform that lets us create, connect, and grow without the limits of traditional social media. It’s a space where we can tell the stories we believe in, while building a sustainable future for our work.
What’s New
REIDframed Plus isn’t just another platform — it’s our creative independence.
For years, we’ve poured our hearts into sharing stories on YouTube, Instagram, and other social channels. We’re proud of the communities we’ve built there, and truly grateful for every comment, share, and late-night DM that reminded us our work matters. But we’ve also felt the walls closing in. Advertisers, algorithms, and unspoken rules about “what sells” or “what’s safe” have shaped what can be seen. Important conversations get buried, and creators are often left choosing between staying authentic or staying visible.
That’s not the trade-off we want for our stories — or for you.
So we built REIDframed Plus:
A place where stories won’t be silenced just because they’re uncomfortable.
A sandbox for experimenting with formats and taking creative risks.
A direct channel between us and you, without middlemen or gatekeepers.
A sustainable way to support the work — where your contributions directly fuel the next film, the next story, the next big idea.
This isn’t about leaving other platforms behind. It’s about finally having a space where we can breathe, stretch, and tell stories on our own terms.
Why It Matters
At its heart, REIDframed Plus is about freedom — creative freedom, financial freedom, and community freedom.
We’re not just uploading content. We’re building a movement — one rooted in justice, resilience, identity, and the raw truths of human experience. These are themes we’ve always wanted to explore more deeply, but mainstream platforms often decide they’re “too much” or “not for everyone.” We believe the opposite: those stories are for everyone. They’re for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, unheard, or underestimated.
And we won’t sugarcoat this part: independent storytelling takes resources. Equipment, crews, travel, and time — it adds up quickly. REIDframed Plus allows us to be transparent about that reality. Your support here doesn’t vanish into the void of ads or clicks. It goes right back into building bigger, bolder, more meaningful projects.
If you’ve ever watched one of our films and thought, “I want more of this in the world” — this is how we make that happen, together.
How to Try
You can join REIDframed Plus today. Signing up gives you access to exclusive films, behind-the-scenes content, and interactive community features you won’t find anywhere else. But more than that, it means you’re stepping into the circle with us. You’re not just an audience — you’re a co-creator of the future we’re building.
What’s Next
This is just the beginning. Over the next few months, we’ll be rolling out new features, hosting events, and sharing projects that push the boundaries of what independent storytelling can look like. Think of REIDframed Plus as a creative lab, a stage, and a community hub all rolled into one.
And the best part? We’re not building it alone. Every story we tell here will be shaped by the people who show up and believe in what’s possible. That means you.
