Factory 25
Factory 25 is a Brooklyn-based independent film distribution and production company, founded by Matt Grady in 2009.
History
Grady founded Factory 25 in 2009 after leaving a position as director of production at Plexifilm..[1] The company's first release, Frownland, was the film that inspired Grady to create his own distribution company, as he believed no other company would distribute the film.[2]
Releases
The films that Factory 25 produces and distributes are often microbudget features with nontraditional narratives. Factory 25 largely focuses on physical releases such as DVDs, Blu-Rays, VHS Tapes, CDs and Vinyl LPs. The company's physical releases often include objects such as 16mm film strips, drawings and written essays.[3] Matt Grady has expressed a desire to make the company's physical releases collectible and appealing, "like a fetish item".[4] The company has worked and distributed films alongside notable distribution companies such as Oscilloscope Laboratories and streaming services such as Fandor.[5] [6].
