Newly launched online movie rental destination to offer Nelson Madison Films 40-title catalog.
Los Angeles – WebMovieNow.com, an Osiris Entertainment company, has formed an alliance with Nelson Madison Films that makes the studio’s catalog of more than 40 titles available for the newly-launched online movie rental destination. In addition to bringing its own titles to WebMovieNow.com, Nelson Madison Films distribution arm Indie Rights <www.nelsonmadisonfilms.com/coop.php> will also serve as an aggregator of film releases from other independent distributors for the movie rental Website.
Indie Rights titles to be showcased on WebMovieNow.com will include the critically acclaimed and award-winning social documentary Skid Row, featuring Grammy award-winning artist Pras Michel who slept on the streets of Los Angeles for nine days to help raise awareness of the country’s growing homeless crisis. The film played the festival circuit, where it was featured at the Pan African Film and Art Festival in Los Angeles and was screened in Denver during the Democratic National Convention courtesy of Harkins Theaters.
“We are confident that exposure of the film through WebMovieNow.com will help bring the film and it’s subject matter the attention it deserves,” said Linda Nelson, CEO of Indie Rights. Formed in 2003 by film producer Linda Nelson and producer-director Michael Madison, Nelson Madison Films is a producer and distributor of theatrical motion pictures for the global marketplace. Among the company’s productions is the large format film, NSYNC Bigger Than Live, documenting the pop music mega group, NSYNC, which made its premiere in Los Angeles and screened at more than fifty IMAX and giant screen theaters worldwide. The company’s next film project is the action adventure Delivered.
