Canadian Streaming Platform Set to Transform Indie Entertainment Worldwide

TORONTO - Oct. 14, 2025 - PRLog -- A fresh contender in the global streaming arena is poised to make waves. Based in Toronto, CGP Spotlight is an indie focused, premium, ad-free streaming platform that prioritizes people. Scheduled to launch worldwide on November 14, 2025, it aims to deliver independent films and television to global audiences, while putting creators and viewers back at the core of the experience.

While mainstream services often emphasize blockbuster franchises and algorithm-driven profits, CGP Spotlight adopts a people-centered approach. The platform offers affordable, hassle-free streaming for viewers and guarantees independent creators fair compensation, transparency, and sustained support for their careers.
​
"I've seen how much gatekeeping shuts out talented indie voices and how audiences are often treated like walking wallets and data for algorithms," says Jen Scott, Founder and CEO of CGP Spotlight. "CGP Spotlight was built to change that — creating not just a content library, but a people-first ecosystem where creators, audiences, and the community all thrive together."
​
The platform will feature acclaimed international titles, including projects from award-winning director Joshua Shultz, such as Ride or Die, starring Timothy V. Murphy (Sons of Anarchy, National Treasure), and Americana, a neo-western featuring Andrew W. Walker, Ruby Modine, Haley Reinhart, and Andy Biersack.
​
A 2024 IndieWire study led by former Sundance CEO Keri Putnam found that nearly 37 million Americans already watch independent films, and another 40 million would subscribe to a dedicated indie streaming service. A clear sign of an untapped global demand for fresh, original storytelling.
​
"We're indie filmmakers, building the platform we always wished existed," says Tazito Garcia, Co-Founder and COO of CGP Spotlight.
​
Every subscription directly fuels that mission: creators bring their original stories, audiences enjoy ad-free viewing without financial stress, and the entire ecosystem grows stronger.
