September is probably the biggest movie month of the year: it starts with Telluride, goes on to Venice and Toronto, and finishes with the New York Film Festival. It’s movie mania! But most of us mere mortals won’t be going to those places and rather, will be home watching movies on TV.
Despair not, movie buffs! Struum, the groundbreaking streaming platform that aggregates a vast library of thousands of shows and movies from over sixty services with one monthly subscription, has a new series underway for the month of September: Discover Docs: 30 Docs, 30 Days. Each day from September 1st to 30th, Struum offers subscribers one new (or classic) documentary from sixteen of their content partners. This impressive playlist includes a selection of provocative titles and award-winning films from a cross section of brands and genres.
Struum simplifies streaming by providing viewers access to many of their favorite brands where they can search, seamlessly discover, and redeem new content across services. Subscribers can instantly access a wide variety of programming including renowned documentaries, indie films, lifestyle series, classic films, true crime, LGBTQ+ and multicultural programming, as well as other beloved TV shows and movies. The platform’s first-of-its-kind credit-based subscription model offers the most cost-effective and efficient way for people to sample and discover programming. As viewers spend their monthly credits to unlock only the film and TV episodes they want to watch—without the hassle of navigating and paying for multiple subscription video services.
Struum is the brainchild of founders Lauren DeVillier, former Head of Product for Discovery Ventures and head of Digital for Disney Channels; Eugene Liew, former Vice President of Product and Technology at Disney+; Paul Pastor, former Executive Vice President of Strategy, Revenue and Operations at Discovery Networks; and Thomas Wadsworth, former lead Advanced Product Development for Walt Disney Imagineering.
