FOX SOUL has signed a worldwide licensing deal with independent film distributor Indie Rights. The agreement starts with 39 features, with more than 100 additional titles planned.
The deal covers broadcast, cable, free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) and other streaming platforms, giving Indie Rights’ films more ways to reach viewers around the world. Both companies expect the partnership to continue as Indie Rights acquires new films. The announcement did not name the first 39 titles or give a rollout date.
“Our mission is to bring compelling, authentic stories to our viewers, and this partnership allows us to expand our film offerings while introducing audiences to fresh voices and engaging storytelling from independent filmmakers around the world,” said D’Artagnan Bebel, head of FOX SOUL.
For independent filmmakers, the scope of the deal is what stands out. A film in the Indie Rights catalog could find an audience on a streaming service or reach viewers who happen across it on a scheduled channel. And with room for future acquisitions, the agreement gives Indie Rights another outlet for the films it picks up after the initial rollout.
