Hiike was born from a passion for connecting filmmakers with the right festivals and providing the tools needed to succeed in the competitive world of film festivals.

We understand the challenges filmmakers face when navigating the festival circuit. With thousands of festivals worldwide, finding the right fit for your film can be overwhelming. That's why we created Hiike—a comprehensive platform designed to simplify the process and maximize your chances of success.

Our mission is to empower independent filmmakers by providing personalized guidance, strategic resources, and a supportive community. We believe every film deserves the opportunity to find its audience, and we're here to help make that happen.
