MillimeterCustomFlix Announces Support for Amazon Unbox
Dec 19, 2006 2:48 PM
CustomFlix Labs, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., today announced its support for Amazon.com's video download service, Amazon Unbox, by adding video downloads to its current DVD and CD on Demand services. This new CustomFlix service now enables independent filmmakers and other DVD content owners to make their content available as video downloads to tens of millions of Amazon.com customers through Unbox.
"Filmmakers and content owners are always looking for new ways to make their titles available in different formats and to a broader audience," said Dana LoPiccolo-Giles, co-founder and managing director of CustomFlix. "Adding the Unbox video download service to our current Disc on Demand physical delivery option gives independent filmmakers the choice to offer their works whether on DVD, as a video download, or both."
For no additional cost, new and current CustomFlix members can now add a digital download option to DVD titles available for sale on Amazon.com. CustomFlix content will first become available to Unbox customers early next year. "We're excited to be the first CustomFlix Member to offer our independent film through the Unbox video download service," said Linda Nelson, Producer of Shifted from Nelson Madison Films. "With the introduction of video download services like Unbox, audiences have grown to expect a variety of viewing options, and we're excited to be at the forefront of this new distribution channel."
"Amazon Unbox continues to be a popular destination for movie and television lovers to download and watch their favorite videos and the video download service offered by CustomFlix greatly expands the selection of Unbox content to our customers to now include thousands of DVD-quality movies," said Bill Carr, vice president of digital media at Amazon.com.
