New York, US -19 May, 2008 - IndiePix, the Internet-based distributor of independent films, has announced a new partnership with Award-winning Directors, Jeremy Stulberg and Randy Stulberg. Under the partnership, IndiePix will handle the global promotion and distribution of the directors' new documentary, Off the Grid, while ensuring that they maintain the rights to their independent film and also receive over 50 per cent of its income. To maximise sales and audiences for the new documentary, IndiePix will deliver it across diverse routes to the market, including theatrical releases, TV premiers and DVD sales through other leading distributors, such as Amazon and Netflix.  

A growing number of independent filmmakers are now approaching distributors to achieve successful marketing campaigns for their films and take their unique independent films into the mainstream media and across international boundaries. IndiePix is now looking to emulate the success it has had with other independent films - including Billy The Kid and City Unplugged - with Off The Grid, and promote its unique storyline to an international audience.

Director, Jeremy Stulberg, said: "We approached IndiePix because it is so proactive in the way it works to promote independent films. Off The Grid is not a traditional documentary because it touches on so many different subjects - which can make traditional distribution challenging in this competitive market. IndiePix is committed to getting films out there and has created many promotional and distribution opportunities for us - they weren't afraid to take on such an unusual film.
 
"The screenings of Off The Grid across the US were fantastic and we even had to extend our time in Chicago because of popular demand," continued Jeremy Stulberg. "The partnership we have with IndiePix has provided us with continuous traction and publicity, yet still enables us to keep the rights to the film and also a large percentage of the revenue stream. Making Off The Grid was a labour of love for myself and Randy, but getting it out there was something IndiePix helped us to achieve."

"It's not easy for independent filmmakers to get a break nor is it easy to get people to come along and support an independent film. We work to provide our filmmakers with the most diverse routes to market so that if a film lover is not prepared to travel to a theatrical screening then they can watch it on TV," commented Bob Alexander, President of IndiePix. "We aim to build relationships with filmmakers and tailor distribution packages to help their work become a success. Off The Grid is the perfect example of what independent films can achieve."

About Off the Grid
Off The Grid: Life on the Mesa documents a loose-knit community of 'forgotten Americans', from eco-pioneers and war veterans to teenage runaways and drop-outs, who have collectively made a home for themselves away from mainstream society. With no governmental ruling or everyday amenities, such as running water and electricity, the group struggles to function as one and avoid anarchy. 

The film will soon be available from the IndiePix website www.indiepix.net. Readers can click here to see a trailer of this film.
