Liquid Partners with Eventival to Help Filmmakers and Festivals Monetize Creative Works
October 29 2020 - 10:00AM
Liquid Media Group Ltd. (the “Company”, “Liquid Media” or “Liquid”)
(Nasdaq: YVR) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with
Eventival to offer a direct-to-consumer solution to help filmmakers
monetize their creative works after a festival run and over the
long term. In addition to empowering these creative professionals
and sharing Liquid’s digital platforms with hundreds of festivals
around the world, Liquid’s consumer audiences will gain access to a
vastly expanded library of content, which is expected to drive new
revenue through single ticket and subscription sales.
Eventival has over the past decade supported
more than 1,000 festival events of all sizes and genres as well as
over half-a-million users through its industry-leading film
festival software solutions.
“We are extremely excited to be working with
Eventival,” said Daniel Cruz, Chief Financial Officer of Liquid
Media. “As the world’s number one film festival management
solution, their endorsement speaks volumes for Liquid’s Reelhouse
digital streaming platform and our Slipstream video-on-demand
service. We are thrilled to be increasing our reach to the
significant group of filmmakers and festival organizations that
have relied on Eventival over the years and to be adding value via
powerful distribution resources to debut new works as well as
showcase and market films on an ongoing basis. Ultimately, Liquid
believes this will bolster revenues via film festival partnerships
as well as an even larger and wider selection of films for our
audience to consume.”
Film festivals worldwide can now easily create a
branded channel on Liquid’s Reelhouse service to sell festival
tickets, live-premiere films and stream globally. Once the credits
roll at a festival, Eventival users have access to a full suite of
distribution, live-premiere and monetization tools to share their
films with a worldwide audience.
“The world has changed immeasurably in recent
times and the way that movies are being viewed by consumers
continues to evolve,” adds Cruz. “Independent content creators need
more control so that they can make the films they care about while
also earning a living. People who love movies want convenient, easy
and cost-effective ways to access them, and companies like Liquid
and Eventival need innovative ways to increase sales while adding
value to the creative talent they exist to serve. Together, Liquid
and Eventival are offering an end-to-end distribution solution,
from film festival to the end consumer, so that everybody
wins.”
