HOUSTON – August 28, 2023 – PickleJar, the leader in unified live entertainment technology, today announced the latest film to showcase on PickleJar FlixTM, a platform developed exclusively for independent film production companies and filmmakers to promote their slate of films. With the initial pitch competition the film was selected from, hosted by GoodBadMad and Produced by Double J Productions, PickleJar will debut A Wild Life on the platform, while showcasing a one-of-a-kind independent film experience with a glimpse into the world of a filmmaker’s journey and process.
The short film tells the emotional story of a widower and how a chance encounter alters his entire life. Produced by Zachary Goldman (Pistol), directed by Marie-Andrée Lemaire (Be My Baby), and produced by Jennifer James (Double J Productions), A Wild Life includes noteworthy actors Raphael Bishop (Casualty, Les Misérables) and Robert Goodman (Ripper Street, Game of Thrones). Production on the film has officially wrapped.
“We’re thrilled to add another incredible story to the PickleJar Flix platform,” said Jeff James, PickleJar Chief Executive Officer. “A Wild Life is another way for fans to utilize PickleJar Flix to support those in the film industry and give them an inside look at what makes this form of creativity so unique.”
PickleJar Flix takes fans into the world of filmmaking in a new and memorable way. This new iteration of the PickleJar platform – originally steeped in the music industry – provides production companies the ability to create and manage their own independent film apps with a suite of tools such as featuring their short films for video-on-demand purchase, “behind the scenes” content captured during production, film script, production bible, film artwork, photo gallery and more. PickleJar Flix is exclusively built to help production companies promote, highlight, and showcase their independent films both while in production and once released.
Additionally, PickleJar Flix connects with PickleJar’s other unique service offerings such as its crowdfunding platform and the artist payment features that can help production companies secure financing or raise funds for their films. PickleJar’s premier crowdfunding platform, PickFunder, is designed so that artists and creators keep 100% of the funds they earn. Every film on the new PickleJar Flix platform will give filmmakers the ability to fundraise, promote the film’s premiere dates, sell access to their movie, unlock exclusive content on a pay-per-view basis and promote their upcoming full slate of films all in one place.
