# FlowReel — Decentralized Movie Streaming on Flow Blockchain

FlowReel is a decentralized movie streaming platform where creators can mint their films as NFTs, and fans can buy or rent movies directly — all powered by the Flow blockchain.

Creators earn transparently through on-chain payments, DAO-managed rewards, and AI-driven content moderation — ensuring fair, censorship-free access for everyone.

## Features

### For Viewers

- Buy or Rent Movies — Own your favorite films as NFTs or rent them for limited time access.

- Seamless Payments — Powered by FungibleToken and FlowToken contracts on Flow Testnet.

- Automatic NFT Revocation — Rented NFTs are revoked automatically after the rental period using Flow's scheduled transactions.

### For Creators

- Mint Your Films as NFTs — Full ownership and on-chain revenue tracking.

- DAO Verification — A DAO validates creators and manages platform governance transparently.

- Instant Revenue Sharing — Payouts are automatically distributed through flow payout modules.

- Creator Loans — DAO treasury can issue loans to verified creators for production support.

### AI Agents

- Content Moderation — AI agents analyze uploaded movies to detect guideline violations or adult content before minting.

- Fair Curation — AI helps surface diverse creators and prevent centralized bias.

## Tech Stack

| Layer | Tools / Frameworks |

|-------|-------------------|

| Blockchain | Flow Blockchain |

| Smart Contracts | Cadence (FungibleToken, FlowToken, NFT Contract, DAO Contract) |

| Frontend | React |

| Blockchain Integration | @onflow/react-sdk |

## How It Works

1. Creators upload movies — The movie is analyzed by an AI agent for content safety.

2. Mint NFT — The verified film is minted as an NFT using Flow's NFT standard.

3. Buy/Rent — Viewers can buy (permanent) or rent (temporary access) the NFT.

4. Payments — FLOW tokens are transferred directly to creators via smart contract.

5. Scheduled Transactions — Rented NFTs automatically expire and access is revoked.

6. DAO Governance — Handles creator verification, revenue sharing, and community proposals.
