About Vitrina
Our Story
Vitrina’s YouTube channel grew from 5,000 to 100,000+ subscribers in five months by putting film and TV’s financing, acquisitions and production deals on camera every week.
Why 100,000 film and TV professionals subscribe to a channel about deals
Why 100,000 film and TV professionals subscribe to a channel about deals
Nov 12, 2026 · Ashish Mankad, Business Head, Vitrina I-HUB
Vitrina’s YouTube channel passed 100,000 subscribers in early November, up from 5,000 in June. No scripted drama, no reviews, no awards chat. Just financing, acquisitions and production, debated on camera every week with the people who do it.
The run
In June 2026 the channel had 5,000 subscribers. It crossed 80,000 on 28 October and passed 100,000 in early November. The base doubled every month through that stretch.
Three shows, one subject
| Show | What happens on it | What you take away |
|---|---|---|
| LeaderSpeak | On-record conversations with the executives who greenlight, finance, commission and acquire. More than 85 so far. | How a specific buyer actually decides, in their own words |
| Iconic Deals of the Week | Three deals picked each week from the thousands Vitrina tracks worldwide, chosen for size, impact, innovation or landmark status, then argued through: why, what, how, and what it changes | Comparable deals and the reasoning behind terms, before you walk into your own negotiation |
| Private Briefing clips | Highlights from the members-only sessions on financing and commissioning | What a room of financiers and buyers said when the cameras were mostly off |
Nothing on the channel is a product demo. Vitrina is the platform behind it, and VIQI is the vertical AI that reads the supply chain, but neither is the subject. The deals are.
The gap we walked into
The trades report deals. A number, a headline, two quotes, and on to the next one. What they do not do, because it is not their job, is sit with a deal for twenty minutes and take it apart.
The markets do take it apart. AFM, MIPCOM, the EFM, Series Mania. But those are four days a year, in a room you have to fly to, and the best conversations happen in a corridor you were not standing in.
So the business end of this industry, the part where the money moves, has been passed around as tribal knowledge. You learn how a buyer thinks by working with them, or by knowing someone who has.
That is the gap. Every week, on camera, with the people who do the deals. Free to watch, from anywhere, with no badge.
Who is watching
| Subscribers | 100,000+, from 5,000 in June 2026 |
| Views per video | 25,000 to 30,000 on recent uploads |
| Vitrina’s wider network | 180,000 industry professionals across 100+ countries, 43% North America and 37% Europe, with 43% at CXO, owner, founder, president or MD level |
The network figures describe Vitrina’s audience overall, not channel analytics. We publish them because they say who the channel was built for.
The subject sorts the audience for us. Nobody watches a twenty-minute argument about a pre-sale structure by accident. The people who sit through it are the people who do that for a living.
Four ways in
Watch it. Subscribe at youtube.com/@VitrinaAI. Iconic Deals of the Week is the place to start.
Put your leadership on LeaderSpeak. If you run a studio, a fund, a distributor or a service business and you have a view on where this industry is going, write to us at social@vitrina.ai.
Send us a deal. We pick three a week from thousands. If you closed something that deserves the argument, tell us what it was and why it mattered.
Bring your brand to the channel. This is the part agencies ask about most. If you are selling technology, AI, post and VFX capacity, localization, facilities or services into film and TV, your buyers are already watching. Sponsored episodes, client leadership episodes, integrations and end cards are all available, and we will tell you honestly if what you sell does not fit this audience. Write to social@vitrina.ai with who you need to reach and what a win looks like, and the marketing solutions team will come back with a plan and a rate card.
Ninety thousand people did not subscribe for marketing. They subscribed because somebody finally put the deals on camera. That is what we protect, and it is also why a placement here is worth more than a bigger number somewhere else.
