Wildlight Channel

Wildlight Channel, a new movie channel aimed at mobile phones, was launched in early June in Dublin by Wildwave, a provider of mobile digital entertainment and Darklight Film Festival, a pioneer in digital film.

The Wildlight Channel will showcase original short-form film content from around the world. The channel is initially aimed at 3G phones and will feature animations and live-action shorts that are particularly suited to small screens and a mobile audience.

The channel is expected to go live in Ireland initially, then in the UK and North America. It will operate on a Video-on-Demand model at first, offering ten to fifteen films a month for download or stream and will later include a "Live Stream" continuous 3G channel offering. Each film will be in the 1-5 minute range. Pricing is expected to be on an operator by operator basis, with subscription being the preferred model.
