Indie Rights was founded by Michael Madison and Linda Nelson because they believed that the future was bright for independent artists and that there was a better way to produce and distribute movies. They have been in business since 2000, when they produced their first film, NSYNC BIGGER THAN LIVE a Giant Screen Movie that played to sold out crowds worldwide.
Known for innovation. SHIFTED, their first digital feature, was the first movie on Amazon’s UnBox (the predecessor of Amazon Video) and was used by Amazon to promote their platform for over five years. DELIVERED was the first independent feature to edit and master a 4K movie using Adobe CS5. Articles in Variety, HDVideoPro and an Adobe Success Story followed. Partnerships were forged early on with the leading digital platforms including Amazon, Google, AppleTV, TubiTV, and others. These partnerships insure that Indie Rights can offer the very best audience opportunities for their own films, as well as the more than 800 other filmmakers they work with. Indie Rights exhibits every year at AFM and the Cannes Film Market.
Recently, Indie Rights has migrated its content to the cloud in partnership with a group of talented engineers from MIT. After extensive research, we determined that a new system was essential in order to scale our business. Now that our content lives in the cloud, we are able to easily deliver content to buyers in minutes rather than days. This will allow us to maximize the number of outlets for our films on a global basis. We now deliver content to over 100 territories worldwide.
More recently, Indie Rights has partnered with Largo.AI to start analyzing scripts and movies with their AI powered SAS software to help filmmakers make use of AI to ensure that their movies and TV series are as engaging as possible.
