AtomFilms jumped off the deep end and into the search engine oceans, signing a deal with SingingFish, AOL and Blinkx to distribute their short films. This will unload a few million viewers on AtomFilms' bandwagon with each company promoting the content for viewing.

"Innovative short-form content from AtomFilms meets the needs of today's consumers, who demand bursts of quality entertainment that fit into busy schedules," said Scott Roesch, Vice President and General Manager of AtomFilms. "These new distribution agreements with industry leading sites will make AtomFilms' entertainment available to an even wider audience."

An industry pioneer and leader since 1999, AtomFilms has seen its audience increase 174 percent in the past year as broadband continues to drive more consumption of video content online. This growth in traffic has expanded opportunities for AtomFilms' world-class advertising clients, which currently include Honda, Mountain Dew, Schick and many more leading brands.

"Consumer interest in online video is exploding and it is one of our highest priorities to provide consumers with a top-notch and entertaining video experience on our AOL.com portal as well as make it easy for consumers to find and discover interesting video content from across the Web," said Jim Bankoff, Executive Vice President, Programming and Products, AOL. "With its extensive library of short films and animation, AtomFilms is one of the leaders in this industry and we are pleased to be working with them."
