Halo is a subscription-based film and series online streaming platform and media production corporation based out of the United Confederation of Concordian States. It was founded in 2006 by a group of PhD students studying fields ranging from Computer Science to Electrical Engineering from the University of Matthews. With the advent of the computer, they developed a website that enabled them to stream videos of series and films that were aired and broadcast on traditional television media.
Halo began working with other studios and production companies to create content in 2014, with its first project being the psychological thriller, Where's Rick?, produced by Neville Fox. The company removed the free tier and advertising from its platform in 2016, causing much uproar. Nevertheless, people flocked to this model and the company gained substantial market share and increased it's revenue especially during the Vanoi fever pandemic when people were afraid to go outside as often. With the rise of work from home and increased Internet speeds, the company was able to stream its shows in some of the highest resolution outside of scientific and military applications.
The company established the Halo Dream Studios in 2019 to produce solo content, their first being the film: Desert Landing, a film about the resistance of South East Yasterian countries from Packilvanian domination during the Great War. The film received widespread acclaim and won several awards such the Igor Award from the Film and Media Association of South Hills. The company went on to produce more original content. As the company proliferated, it faced pressure from regulators to include more local content and law suits for anti-trust and monopolistic behaviour. It has also faced censorship in autocratic and totalitarian regimes which have forced it to modify or shelve controversial content.
Today the company is one of the most successful media and content creation and distribution companies. It is currently valued at 100 billion SHD. It employs approximately 20,000 people and it has 1 billion registered accounts. It operates in most countries in the world.
