Fight Circle

Slowly but surely films are getting produced and distributed through the internet and Fight Circle is the latest example of this trend.

America's first feature-length martial arts film with worldwide premiere solely via the internet, hit computer monitors on February 04, 2004 at 2:04pm.

Fight Circle is a medieval martial arts film that follows a young woman, Paky, as she maneuvers her way into a male-centered fight arena where, ultimately, the victor determines life or death for the defeated.

banzai! Entertainment Inc is premiering Fight Circle via the internet only. Customers can visit the website to view the trailer and read the latest background on the characters, actors, cast and crew.

To order the movie, people will pay $7.00 to view the film online via streaming video. The movie is broken down into nine chapters each lasting approximately ten minutes. Fight Circle's unique purchasing options offer viewers maximum flexibility in how they choose to watch the movie. Viewers may watch the entire movie up to two times, or they may view it once in its entirety and then review their favorite chapters several times.

banzai! is excited by this new avenue for release as it gives all filmmakers an ability to have their work delivered to the general public in a cost-effective manner. banzai! is promoting Fight Circle through an online advertising campaign with banner ads appearing
on gaming sites such as mmorpg.com, keenspot.com and mpogd.com; on movie review sites; and in print magazines such as Movie Maker. banzai!'s promotional campaign is aimed at creating the first successful feature-length premiere on the internet.

"We believe in this movie and in banzai!'s unique approach to distribution. We think Fight Circle will stand up to many multi-million dollar films that have been given a full-fledged
theatrical release," says Donald Whittier, producer and director of Fight Circle.
