IndieFlix and Dutch Media Hub partner in European expansion

At IBC Amsterdam, Seattle-based IndieFlix announced that they will work with the Dutch Media Hub in their European expansion. IndieFlix has worldwide rights to a library of more than 3000 independently produced shorts, features and documentaries. In the USA, IndieFlix already has partnerships in place with Amazon, iTunes, Netflix, Cox and Hulu. IndieFlix is now seeking international expansion, especially in Europe. IndieFlix will provide VOD services through partnering as well as subscription and its ‘Film Festival in a Box’ product.

Dutch Media Hub will help IndieFlix with their European expansion, beginning with the Netherlands as a test market. IndieFlix and Dutch Media Hub will actively look for European distribution companies willing to carry the IndieFlix product.

Scilla Andreen, IndieFlix CEO and Co-Founder: “There is a worldwide growing interest in independent films. Every year more than 60.000 independent films are made worldwide, and we want to bring this interesting content to the consumer. Having a partner like Dutch Media Hub helps us with the European roll out especially getting a better understanding of local market needs and ways to service that.”

George Freriks, CEO Dutch Media Hub: “Our partnership with IndieFlix is exactly where we can prove our added value by processing and localizing content from our hub to multiple European market players and platforms.”

The companies of the Dutch Media Hub have the expertise to target this content to the correct markets and platforms.
