Who we are

Southeast Asia is full of stories. Too few reach the people who can make them.

SceneOne exists to close that gap. A screenwriter in Singapore, a novelist in Manila, a storyboard artist in Jakarta — their work should be protected the moment it’s written, and reachable by the studios, producers and publishers who are looking for exactly it.

So we built the protection in first — a certificate on every upload, private by default, shared only when the creator says so — and then the marketplace on top of it. Human work only; no AI-generated submissions. Founded in Singapore, 2026.

Who's behind this

Real people, not a faceless platform.

You're trusting us with unpublished work. The least we can do is tell you exactly who we are, and exactly who is answerable for what.

Our pledge

Ten percent of every cent SceneOne earns goes back out as a donation.

Not of profit after the accounting is done, of what we actually earn. We'll publish where it goes.
