Rooster Teeth Hit Series Day 5, RWBY, and
Crunch Time Available For International Distribution
Pioneering entertainment company Rooster Teeth is expanding its
long and successful distribution partnership with Cinedigm (NASDAQ:
CIDM) to include international territories, kicking off MIPCOM in
Cannes (Oct. 17-20). The companies are seeking international
digital, home video and linear television deals for three hit
Rooster Teeth series – Day 5, RWBY, and Crunch Time, all of which
live on Rooster Teeth’s rapidly growing subscription video on
demand platform (SVOD), FIRST. At the annual international content
convention, the companies will be taking meetings with local
distribution outlets from Europe, South America, Asia and
Australia.
“Our audience has been thrilled with the new premium content
we’ve been releasing on FIRST, the Rooster Teeth SVOD platform,”
said Matt Hullum, CEO of Rooster Teeth. “From the apocalyptic drama
Day 5 to the hilarious sci-fi comedy Crunch Time to the breakout
anime hit RWBY, we’re excited to share this content with new
audiences around the world.”
Day 5
Day 5, the award-winning, six-part long-form dramatic series
from Rooster Teeth, is set in the immediate aftermath of a fatal
sleep epidemic. After a fortuitous drug bender saves his life,
addict Jake ventures out, unaware that most of the world already
died in their beds. Battling sleepless fatigue and encroaching
delirium, Jake teams with a scrappy teenager, an overnight doctor,
and a red-eye pilot to search for answers…and just maybe find a way
to sleep again. Day 5 presents a unique vision of the apocalypse
that fuses serial drama and thriller around a human story of
survival and redemption. Season 1 of Day 5 premiered in 2016 on
Rooster Teeth FIRST. This October, Day 5 beat out Grace Helbig and
Hannah Hart’s Electra Woman and Dyna Girl to take the Streamy Award
for best Sci-Fi or Action series.

RWBY
RWBY is Rooster Teeth’s world-renowned, award-winning anime
series that tells the story of four different girls brought
together for one legendary purpose. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang
are students at Beacon Academy, an ancient school designed to train
the monster-slayers known as Hunters and Huntresses. Unfortunately,
monsters aren’t the only threat in the world of Remnant, and if
these girls want to graduate, they’ll have to learn to work
together – both on the battlefield and in the classroom. The fourth
volume (season) of RWBY premieres on Rooster Teeth FIRST on October
22, 2016.

Crunch Time
Critically acclaimed Crunch Time is a half-hour sci-fi adventure
comedy starring Samm Levine (Freaks and Geeks, Inglourious
Basterds), Nick Rutherford (Good Neighbor, Saturday Night Live),
Jessy Hodges (Grey’s Anatomy, True Blood), Avery Monsen (Maron,
High Maintenance), Brent Morin (How to Be Single, Undateable),
Michael Hyatt (Nightcrawler, True Detective), Kirk Johnson (Lazer
Team), and Burnie Burns (The Amazing Race, Lazer Team). In a highly
classified location, four brilliant, jackass grad students are
interrogated by government operatives. Why? Because after using
reckless “cutting-edge” science for their own petty purposes, this
rag tag team creates a small but potentially world-ending black
hole in their college lab. The clock is ticking for this secret
government agency to clean up the mess...and the students don’t
know what the hell they did to tear open the fabric of space and
time. The solution? T– tell these government operatives EVERY
illegal thing they’ve done in the lab… Season 1 of Crunch Time
premiered in 2016 on Rooster Teeth FIRST.
