Iris Indie's slate of 16 award-winning films is perfect for global streamers and TV, with recognizable talent and offering a unique blend of creative storytelling and commercial appeal worldwide.” - Milena Rimassa, President, DistributionLOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Iris Indie Global is thrilled to announce its participation at MIPCOM 2024 , located at Booth P-1.F19. Following a successful debut at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, Iris Indie Global now presents a slate of 16 brand-new, award-winning films and documentaries, all of which are perfectly optimized for global streamers and television licensing. Each title offers a blend of creative innovation and commercial appeal, making them ideal for platforms seeking content that resonates with diverse audiences worldwide.
A key component of Iris Indie Global's strategy is its partnership with Kino Studio. Through this alliance, select streamers will enjoy exclusive Live Video on Demand (LVOD) events, which provide high-profile platforms for films' digital releases. Kino Studio's model allows for personalized, time-limited screening events that include interactive features like live chat, Q&A sessions, and other tools that foster audience engagement. This innovative partnership enhances the appeal of Iris Indie Global's titles by boosting viewer interaction and driving anticipation through social media engagement. Additionally, two of the award-winning films being presented to international buyers at MIPCOM were partly financed through Slated, a vital industry partner for Iris Indie Global.
Among the films making their MIPCOM debut is Renner, a science fiction thriller directed by Robert Rippberger and written by Luke Medina, Martin Medina, and David Largman Murray. Starring Marcia Gay Harden, Violett Beane, and NASCAR driver Frankie Muniz, Renner tells the story of a software genius who creates an AI life coach to help him find love, only to realize that he has accidentally programmed his manipulative mother into the AI. This high-concept thriller, featuring a star-studded cast, is a perfect acquisition for global streamers looking to offer fresh, innovative content with broad appeal.
Also featured is Ganymede, an LGBTQ thriller directed by Colby Holt and Sam Probst, and starring Jordan Doww, Melanie Booth, Pablo Castelblanco, Joe Chrest, and Walker Cody. Ganymede follows a small-town wrestling star who develops a crush on an openly gay classmate, leading to a psychological journey where he is haunted by a grotesque creature. After winning Reel Fest, Ganymede launched on Kino Studio's LVOD platform, garnering significant viewer engagement. A special Los Angeles screening is planned to raise awareness about the dangers of conversion therapy, a practice banned in 24 U.S. states and many countries worldwide. An additional LVOD event will benefit LGBTQ non-profit organizations, adding social relevance to the film's commercial potential.
