Los Angeles, CA Sundance Institute today announced the 15 independent films that will make their digital debut this fall through a variety of platforms and storefronts, via the Institute's Artist Services program, which provides access to self-distribution for artists supported by the Institute. Titles will roll out between August 13 and September 17. For details visit sundance.org/nowplaying.

Feature films include Ed's Next Move, All She Can, GYPSY DAVY, and L.I.E.
Sing Me The Song That Says I Love You: A Concert For Kate McGarrigle, will make its digital premiere September 17.

Directed by Lian Lunson, the film made its world premiere at Sundance London in 2012 and had a theatrical run earlier this summer.
Troublesome Creek: A Midwestern won both the Grand Jury Prize: Documentary and the Audience Award: Documentary at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Made in L.A. won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story-Long Form in 2008. TV Junkie was the Documentary Special Jury Prize winner at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
Titles will be available on a variety of platforms, including iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Microsoft Xbox, Sony Entertainment Network, SundanceNOW, VUDU and YouTube.

The exclusive aggregation partner for distribution across all portals participating in the Artist Services program is Cinedigm. The Artist Services initiative is made possible by The Bertha Foundation. These deals were brokered via pro bono legal services generously provided by law firm O'Melveny & Myers, which has built the legal framework for the Artist Services program and participating filmmakers since its inception.
