IRVINE, CA (Embargoed Until: November 19, 2020)—XUMO, a pioneer in streaming television and media entertainment, today announced the expansion of its free movie library through the company’s first-ever original content partnership with Bold Soul Studios, whose new movie White Elephant premieres exclusively on XUMO – just in time for the holidays. XUMO is also now offering over a dozen films from Magnolia Pictures, exclusive to XUMO and streaming now through the end of the year.
Marking XUMO’s debut in new, original content, Bold Soul Studio’s White Elephant was written and directed by Corey Moss, and follows eight friends who convene for an annual white elephant gift exchange, but when nothing goes as planned, their relationships and friendships are put to the test. The movie stars Devin Druid (13 Reasons Why), Carmela Zumbado (You), CoCo Jones (Vampires vs. the Bronx), Lana McKissack (A Christmas Movie Christmas), Paul Karmiryan (Veronica Mars), Nathan Moore (Jem and the Holograms), Matthew Hancock (Kidding), and Avery Norris (Clowning).
“We love the idea of disrupting traditional models and debuting directly on an AVOD platform,” stated Moss, who co-founded Bold Soul Studios with Brad T. Gottfred. “XUMO is a pioneer in the space, and we are thrilled that audiences will be able to watch White Elephant for free this holiday season.”
Bold Soul Studios produced White Elephant with Milan Chakraborty (Plus One, Assassination Nation), its third feature in two years, after the ensemble holiday comedy 4/20 and the thriller Confessional, which sold to Shudder.
“As our audience continues to grow, and has more time for streaming and less opportunity for going out to holiday parties this season, we’re excited to invest in increasing the caliber of our content while adding to our incredible library of top-tier free movies from premium partners, as well as bring fresh, original, never-been-seen before entertainment to our users,” noted Stefan Van Engen, SVP of programming and partnerships at XUMO. “XUMO is committed to bringing the best content into the FAST space.”
XUMO has also launched nearly a dozen new Magnolia Pictures films, exclusive to XUMO from November 1st through the end of the year, which includes: 2:22 and Person to Person (new to AVOD) as well as Bronson, Centurion, Night Catches Us, and much more.
“XUMO is among the very best in terms of streaming content, offering millions of users the highest quality premium entertainment,” commented Randy Wells, Head of Home Entertainment at Magnolia Pictures. “Making more of our award-winning films available on XUMO extends our reach to an important audience, and gives movie fans even greater access to the best in cinema.”
