LOVEFiLM to premiere Catfish

As reported on NMA, Media Week and CNET, LOVEFiLM has partnered with Momentum Pictures to exclusively preview the documentary film 'Catfish' online and in 40 cinemas in the UK, ahead of its launch.

Catfish is a documentary following a New York photographer who strikes up a relationship with a Michigan painter. The film is described as a 'reality thriller', and comes with the shrewd tagline 'Don't let anyone tell you what it is'. There's been some debate about how 'real' it is, but the savvy Blair Witch Project-style marketing seems to be paying off.

We will also have an exclusive two-week rental window for the DVD of Catfish from 27 December, so you can only watch if a member of our service, which is another great reason for people to sign up.

Tracking downtime and recovery

LOVEFiLM experienced issues with our Affiliate Window tracking for approximately 24 hours from Wednesday 13th October afternoon. This will have meant that despite tracking being in place, leads will not have been passed back to Affiliate Window correctly

We have now recovered all the data that was lost and have added this back for each affiliate effected. Sales will be validated according to the normal process.

Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience and know we are reviewing the process that caused this to occur. Throughout the past 6 years we have never had an issue like this and appreciate the timing was not great with many affiliates at the A4U Expo and you may not have noticed until now.
