LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Independent Film
Development Corporation (OTCBB: IFLM), an international distributor
of motion pictures and producer to the multibillion dollar
film industry, announced today that it is appointing its current
director, Patrick Peach, to head up
and run HollywoodIndy.com, the innovative new entertainment
industry social networking website. Peach was instrumental in the
creation and development of Hollywood Indy from its beginning
stages. Hollywood Indy is to be integrated with IFLM's development,
production and distribution divisions, and is set to launch in
early 2012. Pat Peach is a
30-year veteran of the film industry, working as a producer over
the last 25 years for such companies as Disney, Paramount Pictures,
Miramax Films, Hallmark Entertainment, and Relativity Media. Peach
started his entertainment career as a literary agent, and produced
his first film at the age of 23. As an independent producer, his
credits include "Prey of the Chameleon," a Showtime world premiere,
"The Chinatown Connection," "Big Bad John," "Bitter Harvest," and
the "Glass Shield." Through his own production company, Peach
produced "When the Bough Breaks," "Mother" and "Galaxis."
Peach has served as Supervising Producer for Film Finances, Inc.
on the completion of eight visual effects intensive features by
Full Moon Entertainment, including "Josh
Kirby: Time Warrior," "Pre Hysteria II," and "The Wee Folk I
& II." He produced "Maximum Surge," an interactive game and
movie for Digital Pictures, and produced "Sticks and Stones" for
Hallmark Entertainment, co-produced "DNA," an HBO World Premiere,
and was Supervising Producer on "Bombshell," a Sci-Fi Channel World
Premiere. He also produced "Suicide Kings" for Artisan
Entertainment.
Peach produced "P.U.N.K.S.," a Disney Original Picture, and
worked on several films for Miramax, Lionsgate, and Dimension
Films. He co-produced "Highlander: Endgame," and worked for
Miramax on "Equilibrium" and "Imposter." As a result of his
work on "Project Greenlight," the HBO original series, Peach
produced "Stolen Summer," a Miramax release. Since then, he
has co-produced the theme park attraction "Star Trek Voyager: Borg
Encounter," "Outin Riley," "Icon" and "Canes" and has worked
on "Cookers," "The Guardian," and "Nanking" and recently line
produced "Limitless." Peach has also produced commercials for
clients including Renault, Volkswagen, Nickelodeon and Comedy
Central. He has studied entertainment law, film production,
screenwriting, distribution, marketing and finance at UCLA, USC, AFI and
Writer's Boot Camp.
"Mr. Peach is a great commodity and a known name in the
entertainment industry. He not only understands all facets of
the film industry, but has a keen insight into cutting edge
technology and how to convey a message, which is why he is a
perfect fit for Hollywood Indy," said Chief Executive Officer
Jeff Ritchie.
According to Peach, Hollywood Indy is launching at a great time
in the industry- a few years ago would have been too early, not
only from a technological standpoint, but from the point of view of
industry professionals who may not have been ready for a site like
this. "I'm excited about the site. I think it is going
to be an extraordinary asset to everyone working in or associated
with the entertainment industry, which is the first key market we
are going after," Peach said.
