Vivendi Entertainment and IndieVest Pictures have announced a comprehensive home entertainment partnership.

Through the agreement Vivendi will handle all home entertainment platforms including packaged media, television, video-on-demand, as well as digital and mobile rights for IndieVest titles. IndieVest, a Los Angeles-based independent film studio financier and distributor, will handle U.S. theatrical distribution. The studio is committed to producing six to eight films per year across a variety of genres.

In February 2010, IndieVest will release the Saint John of Las Vegas theatrically. The feature film was written and directed by Hue Rhodes and stars Steve Buscemi, Romany Malco, Sarah Silverman, Tim Blake Nelson, Peter Dinklage, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jesse Garcia and John Cho. The film follows the wild and funny trip John (Buscemi) takes in order to discover there’s more than one way to hit the jackpot in life.

“We are creating a multigenre, commercially driven production slate that guarantees our filmmakers theatrical distribution, and can’t imagine a better home entertainment partner than Vivendi Entertainment to bring our titles to the largest possible audiences,” said IndieVest president Mark Burton.
