This week Tuesday saw Iron Dragon TV and in-house streaming service IDTV Flix announce a strategic new partnership with digital media and entertainment innovator 30A Media. The partnership aims to revolutionize the way martial arts fans experience their favorite films, by developing cutting-edge mobile and connected TV apps, alongside securing distribution licensing for a vast collection of over 70 martial arts film titles, including iconic kung fu classics, and latest action-packed releases.
“We are excited to collaborate with IDTVFlix and Iron Dragon TV to bring our shared vision to life,” said Paul Vizard, CEO of 30A Media. “This is already a rewarding partnership, and the launch of the IDTVFlix.com website is the first step towards integrating streaming TV syndication and delivery to a movie genre that is often overlooked.”
Per the announcement, each company will leverage the strengths of one another, introducing state-of-the-art mobile and connected TV applications, bolstered by HD streaming, user-friendly interfaces, personalized recommendations, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content. The partnership marks a significant milestone in the industry, particularly for Iron Dragon TV as it marks its tenth birthday this week, launched in 2014 by founder and Iron Dragon Productions CEO, martial artist and enterpreneur, Janell Smith.
“My martial arts journey began with my intrigue in old kung fu cinema. Every Saturday afternoon, I was glued to the television watching ‘Kung Fu’ Theater,” said Smith according to a recent interview cited in the press release. “Partnering with 30A Media and IDTVFlix enables us to reach even more fans and offer an unparalleled viewing experience through cutting-edge apps and comprehensive distribution,” she added.
