Sunscreen Film Festival to be Distributed in Over 180 Countries
Sunscreen signs distribution deal that enables it to distribute films all over the world.
(TAMPA BAY, Fla.,) October 10, 2012- The Sunscreen Film Festival has made another step in further establishing itself as an internationally renowned event. Sunscreen has signed a deal to distribute films on Viaway; an on demand Video, TV and Radio platform.
Viaway http://www.viaway.com/ Video, TV and Radio entertainment content can be accessed via Samsung, LG, & other Smart TVs and Blu-ray players, Nook & Kindle tablets, Android & Apple Smartphones and mobile devices, as well as Roku, Google TV, PC and other streaming devices.
Sunscreen is currently the only Film Festival partnered on Viaway's international service. Through content partnerships with international and ethnic TV networks, filmmakers and content producers across the world, Viaway offers over 50,000 video programs and 1000 live TV channels. Viaway is used by millions of people in over 180 countries around the world.
The Sunscreen Film Festival Channel on Viaway is now available to these millions of international viewers around the clock and around the world.
"One of the biggest challenges for any filmmaker is getting distribution for their film. Now through our partnership with Viaway we can offer filmmakers an opportunity to distribute their film and get paid for it. And the best part is that it's a non-exclusive deal, so filmmakers can still choose to distribute their film with any other company or way they want to" commented Tony Armer, Executive Director of the Sunscreen Film Festival.
Sunscreen is making this service available to films and filmmakers that submit to the film festival. Mr. Armer further stated that "Only so many films can be in the festival every year. There are only so many slots and it's impossible to accept everything. So another great aspect to this is that even if a good film doesn't make the fest we can still distribute it on the Sunscreen channel to those millions of viewers. And best of all it doesn't cost the filmmakers a dime and they actually make money every time someone watches their film".
Sunscreen is currently accepting films for its 8th Annual festival held from April 18-21st, 2013 in St. Petersburg, FL.
