AtomFilms Expands Online Reach

AtomFilms announced on Friday it had penned deals with AOL, Singingfish, Blinkx and other video search engines to put the company's content in front of millions of new viewers. Online since 1999, AtomFilms provides online distribution to independent movies and animation. The company says that its viewership has nearly doubled in the past year thanks to increasing adoption of broadband.

"Consumer interest in online video is exploding and it is one of our highest priorities to provide consumers with a top-notch and entertaining video experience," said Jim Bankoff, Executive Vice President of Programming and Products at AOL. "With its extensive library of short films and animation, AtomFilms is one of the leaders in this industry and we are pleased to be working with them."
