LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- Los Angeles based SWIG Global Digital Entertainment Network, the emerging market leader in Entertainment Network access from a single App, Anytime & Anywhere, announced the formation of a strategic partnership with iflixtv, LLC. Ivan Gulas, SWIG Network’s CEO expressed great enthusiasm about this joint opportunity to offer outstanding independent productions, under-served by major media outlets, a way to reach their audience. “iflixtv’s existing, and ever expending library of several thousand films, shows and shorts, offers our viewers globally some of the most creative and exciting programming available anywhere,” stated Gulas. He added that “the films and shows brought to SWIG’s is exactly the kind of high quality niche and special interest programming SWIG aims to make available to a global audience, and is what distinguishes SWIG from major media outlets where such content is rarely seen."
Greg Galloway, founder and CEO of iflixtv, LLC. stated that “at iflixtv we pride ourselves on being on the leading edge of technology so our partnership with SWIG came naturally. We have one of the largest libraries of independent and classic films content on the web and it was our pleasure to team up with SWIG who has one of the largest footprints in the digital content distribution space. I'm excited about our new partnership as I know that SWIG shares the same passion as I do for supporting independent filmmakers and providing them with a global stage to showcase and monetize their labors of love.”
Other recent SWIG news noted by Gulas includes the formation of a strategic partnership with YOUKU Original, a division of YOUKU, China’s leading online destination. Building on the success of a pre-existing, but more limited content licensing relationship between the two companies, the formation of a strategic distribution partnership between YOUKU Original and SWIG will greatly increase content selection on SWIG’s Chinese language YOUKO Original Channel. Furthermore, the recently launched Metan Channel, also in Chinese, features over a 100 episodes of their hit series in China, Hello! Hollywood.
