Guinness World Record film distributed to World Wide Audience

(PRWEB) June 22, 2002

MONTREAL, Canada—June21, 2002—Die Alive, a 2001 digital feature shot for a few hundred dollars, has signed a exclusive online distribution deal with HOLLYWOOD.COM, a website aimed at distributing movies online.

Die Alive (http://www.diealivethemovie.com) caught the media’s attention back in January when it was awarded the Guinness World Record for “Least Expensive Feature of all time”. The 100-minute film premiered last year at the FantAsia film festival in Montreal where it was enthusiastically acclaimed by critics and audience members alike.

“Die Alive is a comedy about filmmaking, shot documentary style” said JF Leduc, Die Alive’s director. “With its fantasy touches, CGI special effects and original score, Die Alive is vastly entertaining.”

Set to be projected again in both Montreal at FantAsia 2002 (which has just been postponed due to location problems) and in Argentina at CINENCUADRE 2002, Die Alive’s online distribution through HOLLYWOOD.COM will make it possible for a feature film produced with very little means and completed on a home computer to reach a worldwide audience. “The internet is the perfect medium for a digital feature to be broadcast, we’re happy to share Die Alive with the what is literally a worldwide audience” concluded Leduc.

Die Alive is set to premiere on Hollywood.com’s Indie Films Channel during their 3rd Hollywood.com Indie Film Festival (HIFF 2002) to be held online July 8 through July 28, 2002.

Hollywood.com is one of the leading movie-related sites on the Internet, featuring over one million pages of in-depth movie information, including movie descriptions and reviews, showtime listings, entertainment news, and an extensive multimedia library. Hollywood.com also features an extensive collection of independent films that can be viewed online for a monthly subscription fee. Hollywood.com benefits from a well-established visitor base, with approximately one billion annual impressions.

Die Alive is JF Leduc’s first digital feature, his previous work including short to medium length 16mm and 35mm films. Leduc is also an accomplished musician and composed orchestral music for some of his projects. Samples of his work can be heard at http://www.jfleduc.ca.tc
