Factory 25

Factory 25 is a Brooklyn-based independent film distribution and production company, founded by Matt Grady in 2009.

History

Grady founded Factory 25 after leaving a position as director of production at Plexifilm. The company's first release, Frownland, was the film that inspired Grady to create his own distribution company, as he believed other companies wouldn't distribute the film.According to Grady, the origins of the name Factory 25 came from the factory number in Virginia where the original T206 Honus Wagner baseball card was printed, and from the Factory Records catalog number of the album Closer.

Releases

According to Grady, Factory 25 focuses on releasing "conceptually provocative narratives and documentaries".The films that Factory 25 produces and distributes are often microbudget features with nontraditional narratives. Factory 25 largely focuses on physical releases such as DVDs, Blu-Rays, VHS Tapes, CDs and Vinyl LPs. Factory 25 puts a great deal of attention into the packaging, design and presentation of their releases.They have released compilations of films from filmmakers such as Joe Swanberg and Caveh Zahedi. The company also releases films theatrically, on VOD, digitally and more recently on streaming services such as Kanopy and Amazon Prime.
