How Myriad Works: From Concept to Premiere in 4 Steps

Myriad is a preorder marketplace for unreleased AI films. Here's the full lifecycle of a project:

**1. Create your project page.** This is your pitch. Upload a teaser, introduce your characters, share concept art, and write a synopsis. Think of it as a movie poster that people can interact with. Use the composer at [/projects/new](/projects/new) — it autosaves as you go.

**2. Set your preorder campaign.** Pick a price ($3–$100), an unlock target (how many preorders you need), and a campaign window (14–30 days). When you hit your target, the project "greenlights" automatically. If you reach 50–99%, you get 48 hours to decide whether to proceed.

**3. Make the film.** Once greenlit, you enter production. Post updates, share progress, and keep your backers engaged. You pick your production window (30–180 days) when you create the project.

**4. Deliver and premiere.** Upload your finished film, schedule a premiere date, and launch it. Backers watch the premiere together with live chat. After the premiere, your film is available for purchase by anyone at the release price.

**What if the project doesn't unlock?** All backers are automatically refunded. Myriad absorbs the Stripe processing fees — backers lose nothing.

**What about payouts?** New creators receive their funds after delivering the film. Creators with 1+ delivered projects get 70% at greenlight and the remaining 30% after delivery.
