LOS ANGELES, CA (September 2, 2008) — Freestyle Releasing and Fathom Studios announce a December 12th release date for the award-winning, CG animated film, Delgo.



Susan Jackson, co-President of Freestyle, notes, “We are delighted to be involved with such a high quality movie with wide commercial appeal. Delgo was selected by all of the top animated film festivals and recently won ‘Best Animated Feature of 2008’ at Anima Mundi, one of the largest animation festivals in the world.”



Delgo is a fantasy action-adventure of a world’s struggle for unity.

Marc F. Adler, President of Fathom Studios, said, “Freestyle is the quintessential partner to distribute Delgo, and, if the movie is accepted by audiences as favorably as our test scores from NRG suggest, we hope to have an opportunity to work with them again on a sequel.”



The film has developed a large on-line following at Delgo.com via its Digital Dailies, a website where users are able to follow the making of the film. For anonymity, each employee posts their daily progress to the on-line forum under a pseudonym, most in Victorian parlance, like the film’s Director, known to the on-line community as the “Sublime Patron of Dreams.” Other identities will be revealed in the end credits of the film.



Delgo is rated PG and represented by Ken Kamins of Key Creatives.
