New Company Announcement: Indie Media Entertainment / Re-inventing Independent Distribution

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 15, 2010 -- LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA (April 15, 2010) – A new distribution company, Indie Media Entertainment opened its digital doors to independent filmmakers on Monday April 12, 2010, in a “Declaration of Independent™.”

Founded by award winning independent filmmaker Abra Chouinard, IME launched indieINSTANT™, the world’s first digital distribution tool that empowers indie filmmakers by giving them the ability to release their titles as online rentals supported by secure credit card processing and analytics to track their ROI. All of this occurs while IME stands by their fundamental philosophy that the indie filmmaker’s personal branding is maintained. While IME will provide independent filmmakers with all of the traditional forms of film distribution including theatrical release, DVD rentals/sales, foreign releasing and cable TV, Indie Media Entertainment is leading the new approach to worldwide online distribution.

“We’re re-inventing independent distribution,” stated Chouinard. “We’re empowering filmmakers by giving them a platform to distribute content with personal branding power.”

This personal branding power, gives filmmakers the authority to brand their feature films, shorts, webisodes, music videos, and more on their own website and in their own way. Indie Media Entertainment ‘skins’ each filmmaker’s video player, keeping the filmmaker’s brand intact. In turn the viewer can watch an indie flick anywhere in the world, without ever leaving their living room sofa or being routed to a random distributor web page; subsequently losing interest in renting.

Indie Media Entertainment made it even more convenient for viewers and potentially more profitably for filmmakers, with indieMOBILE™, a service allowing the viewer to rent and watch the videos on demand using an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. IME is the only independent distribution company with the ability to distribute content via the convenience of some of the most popular mobile devices.

Chouinard herself, being an independent filmmaker, saw the need for a fluid digital distribution process for other indie filmmakers. The independent filmmaker’s audience can grow from the festival circuit to an expansive international audience. Indie Media Entertainment gives filmmakers license over the branding of their own films and brings them a digital step closer to their audiences with the click of a button, in an indieINSTANT™.
