Vuulr, the online content marketplace for film and TV, and VICE Distribution has announced a partnership to list over 1,000 hours of VICE’s youth focused, premium unscripted series and documentaries on the Vuulr marketplace.
Titles listed on Vuulr span investigative documentary, entertainment, sport and lifestyle content, including the hit wrestling show ‘Dark Side of the Ring’ that explores the darkest stories from the golden age of professional wrestling; ‘Chasing Famous’ which steps inside the UK’s premier multi-million pound influencer hub ‘The Wave House’, to see what it takes to make it on TikTok; and ‘Devoured’, a series that shines the spotlight on unbelievable stories of how food fuels criminal enterprises and alters the culinary landscape forever.
Bea Hegedus, Global Head of Distribution, VICE Media Group, said: “VICE Distribution is a new generation distribution company and we embrace technology and innovation. Vuulr is an innovative marketplace that we see as complementary to our sales team’s activities and we are confident that they will quickly enable us to maximise our potential of reaching even more new buyers around the world.”
