Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM), a leading independent content
distributor, announced today a North American distribution deal
with VMI Worldwide (VMI), the Los Angeles-based sales and
production company.
As part of the multi-year deal, Cinedigm will oversee
theatrical, home video, television and digital distribution for
VMI’s new home entertainment division, VMI Distribution. The first
picture to be released under the new pact will be PALM SWINGS, a
sexy comedy, starring Sugar Lyn Beard, Diane Farr, Jason Lewis, and
Tia Carrere, and directed by Sean Hoessli. The picture will be
released on home entertainment on October 3, 2017.
The agreement reflects Cinedigm’s strategy to aggressively
increase its output of independent content across high performing
genres and solidify its position as the foremost home for
filmmakers and producers seeking distribution outside of the
traditional studio system. Over the years, VMI has grown into a
premier international sales company with a significant network made
up of top producers, distributors and buyers from around the world.
Cinedigm previously distributed the VMI-produced picture, WAR PIGS,
a WWII actioner, featuring a veteran tough guy ensemble, including
Dolph Lundgren, Luke Goss, Chuck Liddell, and Mickey Rourke.
“Andre and his team have amassed an impressive library,” said
Bill Sondheim, President of Cinedigm. “Due to their strong
reputation and relationships with talented filmmakers around the
globe, they are able to acquire quality commercial pictures, and we
are thrilled to add their content to our ever-growing distribution
portfolio.”
“Cinedigm shares our entrepreneurial spirit and approach,” said
Andre Relis, President of VMI. “We are excited to work with a
partner who genuinely understands how to market and distribute
indie pictures. With their experience, collaborative approach and
wide distribution reach, we look forward to a very successful
partnership.”
