Slamdance Studios
In January 2010, Slamdance and Microsoft announced its partnership of year-round Slamdance Film programming on Xbox and Zune.
Slamdance President and Co-Founder Peter Baxter said, “Slamdance has a true independent identity and proven track record of unearthing great films. It’s time now to be progressive and unleash our film programs outside of the festival and directly help filmmakers find popular, worldwide audiences. The standard of Slamdance films deserve this much and we believe the audience will respond.”
As of opening day at the 2011 festival, select Competition Feature Films were made available via Zune video Marketplace as part of this year’s Festival and VOD Showcase for the duration of the festival, January 20–27. Select films included narrative features “Modern Imbecile’s Planet World”, Snow on tha Bluff and “The Beast Pageant”; documentary features “Road Dogs” and “Scrapper”, as well as films from previous years’ festivals.
In addition to VOD development, the organization has established "Slamdance On The Road", a traveling theatrical showcase supported by the film festival organization and its filmmakers. "On the Road" brings popular Slamdance films to audiences that otherwise would not have the chance to see them and provide theatrical venues with an alternative film program experience. "On The Road" events usually take place in the US but have also travelled to countries like China, Poland, France and Chile.
