In physics, the three-body problem is ugly. When you have one or two objects exerting gravity on a body, it moves in a predictable pattern. Add a third and its chaos.

Filmhub, which bills itself as a Substack-like solution for independent filmmakers looking to profit from streaming without forfeiting rights to their work, has raised a $6.8 million seed funding round.
The round was led by a16z and included the participation of 8Vc, FundersClub, Eleven Prime and several individual investors working in the tech sector.
Along with the fresh resources, Filmhub said it is launching a new partnership with streaming service Struum, a neo-bundle founded by a group of former Disney and Discovery execs.
