B.D. Fox Independent in conjunction with Viva Pictures will release indie comedy “Visioneers” starring Zach Galifianakis.
“As a producer’s partner we are offer an uncomplicated deal based on gross wholesale revenue from DVD units sold, VOD transactions, and digital downloads,” said Brian D. Fox, president and marketing head of B.D. Fox Independent, in a statement. “Gone are the days of unaudited sales reports, overhead charges, and lengthy recoupment of marketing and distribution expenses. Profits are paid out of first revenues received, with sales reported on a daily basis. We are the only distributor doing this type of gross deal format.”
Here’s the official synopsis of “Visioneers”, according to the press release:
VISIONEERS, which was described by Ain’t It Cool News as a “…great, smart, dark comedy,” was the most downloaded movie on Hulu for three weeks in March of this year.
A satirical look at the effects of corporate culture, VISIONEERS tells the story of George Washington Winsterhammerman (Galifianakis). An ordinary man with a comfortable life, George gives up everything he knows in an attempt to follow his dreams, along the way finding true happiness and personal freedom.
The film will be released May 14 to all Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, K-Mart and other major and independent outlets. It will be available to Redbox kiosks May 24.
