We’re very proud to announce that VHX is powering the worldwide release of Indie Game: The Movie on June 12.
Indie Game has come a long way since their ambitious Kickstarter project. Two years later, they’re armed with an amazing film, a basket of accolades, and an eagerness to redefine what indie distribution truly means. We could not dream of a better fit for VHX for Artists.
You can pre-order it now and you’ll get high quality streaming and DRM-free downloads. If you want to find out more, you should watch the trailer!

Attention New Yorkers: The Film Society of Lincoln Center has introduced the addition of a Summer Midnight Movies series to their weekly programming. We’re very excited to announce that Star Wars Uncut will be kicking off the beginning of this series at midnight of June 1st. We could not be more excited!
It’s hard to believe Star Wars Uncut will be lined up next to the great classics: David Lynch’s LOST HIGHWAY, Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, Sam Raimi’s THE EVIL DEAD and EVIL DEAD II, Ralph Bakshi’s FRITZ THE CAT and many more.
Huge thanks to Ted Hope and Gavin Smith for making this event possible. Thanks to Malcolm Sutherland for illustrating the official movie poster. Thanks to Aaron Valdez for remastering Star Wars Uncut for the big screen (it’s now widescreen!). And of course, thanks to the Uncut team, Star Wars fans and all the passionate and talented Uncut contributors.
Put on your favorite Star Wars costume (trashcan R2-D2 anyone?) and grab some popcorn - it’s gonna be a blast! Tickets will be available soon. Stay tuned.
Can’t wait!

VHX is proud to announce the world premiere of Aziz Ansari’s new comedy special Dangerously Delicious, available exclusively at azizansari.com. Pay Aziz $5 and you can instantly stream the 60-minute special or download a DRM-free video file for offline enjoyment. No ads, no bleeps. Watch a free preview if you’d like.
We believe artists should be keeping more money from their work, and we’re excited to help push this new approach to film distribution forward — cut out the middlemen, focus on your fans, tap the real potential of the Internet — as pioneered by folks like Louis CK and Kickstarter.
VHX’s Emmy Award-winning expertise in video technology and online communities made it easy to say yes when Aziz approached us about building the site. We worked closely with him and his team to design something memorable but effective, and created a billing and video streaming platform from scratch that works hand-in-hand with our embeddable video player.
We’re excited to share more information about a new endeavor — VHX For Artists — which makes it easy for anyone to sell videos directly to their fans. Get in touch.
I really enjoy creating alternate versions of the VHX.tv logo as identity exercises. I realized that this version I created with a single line translated perfectly into neon. I’ve also discovered that neon signs are relatively cheap to get produced! Desktop background sized version here. More versions coming!
Some new free music for you today courtesy of Uncle Skeleton - the first single from the forthcoming double-LP All Too Human. Please go preview and/or download “Sophisticuffs” at your earliest convenience.
If you’re more of a Soundcloud kinda person you can hear it here - but the real goods are over at Bandcamp.
Good vibes!
This article in NYmag about Star Wars Uncut is a great read. Also, the comparison between Casey’s and Warhol’s work is uncanny because Casey just got a new haircut (shown here).
