Why rushes?

We built this platform because filmmakers deserve a space that isn't controlled by another US tech company. We're based in Europe, we respect your data, and we protect your work. This is a home for independent creators who want control, fairness, and a real creative community - no AI exploitation, no snobbery, just people like you, showing their best work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the free tier?
Everything you need to discover, learn, and share your first films: • Watch unlimited videos (no ads!) • Like, comment, and follow filmmakers • Create multiple reference folders • See trending films by genre • No algorithmic rage-bait - just quality work • Upload up to 500MB of your own videos Upgrade to Creator when you need more than 500MB.
How does storage work?
Storage is added in 500GB blocks, only when you confirm. • The free tier gives you 500MB to upload your own videos. • Your Creator plan starts with 500GB included. • If you need more, you add a 500GB block from the Subscription page or when you try to upload more than your current limit. • If your usage drops back below the level that required an extra block, you can choose to reduce your storage. The block will be cancelled at your next billing period.
Why no algorithm?
Because algorithms optimize for engagement (outrage, clickbait), not quality. On rushes: • Follow filmmakers you admire • Browse by genre (Narrative, Documentary, Experimental, etc.) • See what's trending in your chosen categories • Discover curated collections (coming soon) Your feed shows what you choose to follow. Not what some AI thinks will keep you scrolling.
Do you show ads on my videos?
Nope.
What's this "no AI training" guarantee?
It's simple: We will never use your uploaded videos to train AI models. This is written into our Terms of Service. Why does this matter? • Vimeo was recently acquired - their new owners may use uploaded content for AI training • YouTube openly trains AI on uploaded content • We think your work belongs to you, and only you decide what happens to it This is a core principle. Not a marketing gimmick.
Can I reduce my storage?
Yes — and you stay in control of when it happens. • Use the "Reduce storage" control on the Subscription page to schedule a reduction. • Reductions only take effect at your next renewal, and never go below your current usage. • Prefer to forget about it? Enable the "Reduce storage automatically" toggle. We'll step you down by full 500GB blocks at renewal whenever you're well below your limit.
What about bandwidth?
We include generous bandwidth that covers normal filmmaker usage patterns: • Portfolio views • Festival screeners • Client reviews • Community discovery Details are in our Terms of Service, but you won't hit limits with typical usage. If you're concerned about a specific use case, contact us and we'll help.
Do all tiers have all features?
Yes. No feature gating. No "upgrade to Pro for analytics" nonsense. Whether you're at 500GB or 1TB, you get: • Public portfolio page • Password-protected videos • Review & collaboration tools • Analytics • Custom thumbnails • Download controls • Everything We charge for storage. Not for features.
How does discovery work without an algorithm?
Follow-based feeds: See new uploads from filmmakers you follow Trending by genre: Browse what's getting views in: • Narrative shorts • Documentary • Experimental • Music videos • Animation • And more... Curated collections (coming soon): We watch films and create themed collections like "Best UK shorts this month", "Cinematic dreamscapes", "Films about family", etc. Quality over quantity. Curation over automation.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
Your subscription stays fully active until the end of your current billing period — nothing changes. After that, you get a 30-day grace period: • No new uploads • Full access to view and download your existing videos • Your profile and published work remain visible After 30 days, all your videos and data are permanently deleted. We strongly recommend downloading everything you want to keep before the grace period ends.
Do you support embeds?
Yes! rushes supports fully customisable embeds. You can toggle title overlays, show or hide your profile image, add custom call-to-action links, and grab a responsive embed code ready to drop into any website. Just head to your video's manage page and scroll down to "Share" to get your embed code.
Why are the UK and EU prices different?
The prices are equivalent! • UK: £5.99 (includes 20% VAT) = £4.99 net • EU: €7.19 (includes ~20% VAT) ≈ €5.99 net = £4.99 net Currency conversion and VAT variations (19-25% across EU) account for the difference. You're getting the same value in both regions.
