FlickLaunch, the first movie distribution platform built on Facebook for independent filmmakers, will premiere the horror thriller The Perfect House on October 1, 2011 as a 7-day rental on the film's Facebook fanpage.

The film is directed by Kris Hulbert and Randy Kent and stars Monique Parent, Felissa Rose, Will Robertson, Andrea Vahl, Chris Raab, Jonathan Tiersten, and John Philbin.

This new platform enables independent filmmakers to market to and access a global audience through Facebook without the prohibitive costs of traditional and outdated distribution. For a $5 "ticket price," the movie will be viewed in its entirety and in full screen. Rather than go the traditional distribution route, the filmmakers for The Perfect House preferred to partner with FlickLaunch to engage moviegoers with a more scalable distribution model.

"We see a great opportunity to help these filmmakers get their films
seen by offering this powerful transactional VOD distribution platform," remarked Craig Tanner, Co-Founder and CEO of FlickLaunch. "Currently, many independent films are not lucky enough to secure distribution from a major distributor and rarely have a meaningful marketing budget to reach a mass audience. FlickLaunch provides an immediate solution to filmmakers for both of these issues."
