“Florida has closed the whole state on the day of our event, he said.
Mitchell also struggled to get the appropriate workers and equipment needed for PPV. Flights are not available due to the pandemic, forcing Mill to produce events from California by using a conversation of a mobile phone group and local crew at the end, according to Per Per Mitchell. The Eng camera is much shorter than Mitchell “and must climb anything she can just keep me in the frame, he recalls.
Mitchell said Freedom Factory's first PPV event had 75,000 viewers simultaneously, causing his website and event sponsors to have problems.
Our initial bandwidth provider laughed at our viewers' forecasts, and of course, we overcame them in the first week of sales, “Mill said.
Other initial obstacles include determining how to embed the livestream platform into Mitchell's e -commerce website. The biggest challenge is that the juggle is two separate login, one for Merch shopping and one for PPV Livestream, all in the same website, Mill Mill explained.
Now, our focus is the seamless guidance of YouTube audience to FRDM+ for high -end live events, “he added.
The live events are still the heart of FRDM+. This service has had 21 events broadcast live throughout 2025 and many other events will come.
Peeking under the hood
Today, bandwidth is not a problem for FRDM+and navigation of online delivery services is not much different from something like Netflix. There are different channels (groups together according to relevant content or continuous series) on new and new releases and the upcoming content is highlighted below. There are horizontal rows, and many titles have summarized content and/or trailers. The platform also has a part of support with instructions to cancel registration.
As with other SVOD services, the registrationer can view FRDM+ via a web browser or via smart TV application. FRDM+ currently has applications for Apple TVThen Four of usAnd Operating system year. Mitchell said the group is constantly working on more connected TV applications, as well as adding more features, interactions, customers and customers.
In order to keep the wheels, FRDM+ take advantage of a variety of technologies, Mill explained: The core of our infrastructure, AWS bandwidth servers handle heavy objects, while Accedo provides energy for connected TV applications, setting the distance between systems.
For a service like this, with direct events, backup is very important, Mill said.
At the free factory, we even forged the atmosphere from a house five miles away to ensure the second reliable Internet. We also have a hidden page (Cleetus McFarland's website) to launch backup if the main error is faulty, he said.
Today, the biggest challenge of FRDM+is not a technique. Instead, it is around the management of different parts of the business with a small group. FRDM+ has 35 full -time employees across the entire store, race, events and parts of Merch and are completely self -financed, on each factory. The company also rely on contractors for production, but its core livestream group has six full -time employees.
