Liquid Media Expands Slipstream Distribution Potential Built Upon The Unity Platform
November 12 2020 - 9:00AM
Liquid Media Group Ltd. (the “Company”, “Liquid Media” or “Liquid”)
(Nasdaq: YVR) is pleased to announce the expansion of its
Slipstream action-adventure sports content using the Unity
real-time development platform. Unity allows independent filmmakers
through Slipstream to attain widespread distribution across more
than 20 popular global platforms such as Windows, Mac, iOS,
Android, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, leading AR and VR
platforms and Smart TVs. Slipstream’s new platform, allowing global
distribution with access to major media devices, is transformative
for the Company.
In the past, filmmakers were frustrated and
constrained by their inability get distribution and to monetize
their work. Slipstream allows moviemakers to cut out third parties
who previously were necessary to acquire and access distribution
platforms. With Slipstream filmmakers submit films themselves and
keep 70% of rental revenues, much more than previously paid.
Filmmakers get easier and faster distribution and a larger cut of
rental income than traditional existing distribution channels.
Building on the golden age of streaming content,
Liquid has commenced native application development for Slipstream
through Unity to enable integration to third-party consoles and
devices, with Polycade as the first gaming console to be deployed.
Enabling video-on-demand, games, subscription and 360 degree
Virtual Reality experiences on a variety of platforms further
expands Liquid’s philosophy to be a digital studio for all
platforms. Unity Technologies is recognised as an industry leader
for cross-platform content distribution.
“Unity’s platform gives Liquid access to the
most popular content platforms TV, Phones, Game consoles and
computers and is a crucial next step for Liquid. We believe it will
increase Liquid’s film distribution profile and provide more
functionality for our content and apps.” said Daniel Cruz, CFO
& Co-founder of Liquid Media. “Our goal is to help filmmakers
to gain control of how their movies are distributed and
monetized.”
SlipstreamThe Netflix for
adventure outdoor films. The site includes hundreds of action
sports films with categories such as surfing, snow sports, rock
climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, running, environmental
documentaries and festival winners.
ReelhouseReelhouse is an online
video community that provides filmmakers complete control to

which in turn engage viewers in what Reelhouse is setting as the
new standard for online viewing experiences.

in 2019 for a virtual reality (VR) game in association with YDX
Innovations, which was built from the ground up on Unity and
validated the platform for the Company’s use. Liquid continues to
explore and evaluate its games for further relaunches on the Unity
platform.
