November 30, 2005 (Press Release) --
SAN FRANCISCO and HOLLYWOOD – November 30, 2005 – HandHeld Entertainment(TM) today announced it will add more than 1,000 comedic short films to its downloadable collection of ZVUE-ready videos available at www.zvue.com/downloads. The films are available through a content licensing agreement with Fun Little Movies (FLM), a leading provider and distributor of mobile entertainment and short comedy films.
The agreement with FLM gives ZVUE users access to a large collection of downloadable comedy shorts, which are readily playable on the ZVUE portable media player, as well as other compatible PMPs and Sprint mobile phones. Videos produced by FLM have appeared on HBO, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central, A&E, PBS, Fox and WarnerBros.com. FLM has also received many cinematic awards, including First Prize for Best Comedy at the World’s Smallest Film Festival for its ‘Love Bytes’ series, and a finalist’s place for Best Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival.
“Humor is something that everyone loves to share,” said Jeffrey D. Oscodar, chief executive officer and president of HandHeld Entertainment. “Short format entertainment, such as music videos, short films, news and comedy shorts, is exactly the type of video content that our customers are asking for, and Fun Little Movies will make them very happy.”
About the size of a pack of playing cards, the ZVUE offers full-color video and clear audio sound that gives users a robust, on-the-go digital experience when coupled with downloadable content from the ZVUE website at http://www.zvue.com/downloads/.
“The ZVUE is great because it provides a portable medium for hilarious content and, at $99, people can actually afford to buy it,” said Frank Chindamo, president and chief creative officer of Fun Little Movies. “The ZVUE’s ease-of-use is perfect for FLM’s content, and its portability allows you to watch our movies beyond your desktop. I love it.”
