Hulu Logo

Ladies and Gentlemen we at IndieFlix are very proud to announce that we are live on HULU!  For those of you who haven’t discovered HULU yet here is little description below.

Hulu videos are currently offered only to users in the United States. Hulu provides video in Flash Video format, including many films and shows that are available in 480p.

CLICK THE LINK HERE TO GO TO THE INDIEFLIX HULU PAGE.

We are starting small with one film but expect many more in the near future. Our first film to arrive on HULU is “The Book of Caleb.” A quick description is below.

17066

A bittersweet fairytale “hangover of the coming of age” story, The Book of Caleb plays as a quirky and tender study of the quarter-life crisis.

When unfocused wanderer Caleb Callahan (Jeremy Luno) returns home to suburban Bucks County, Pennsylvania and reunites with childhood friends Montag (Michael Hampton) and Swank (Nikitas Manikatos), he finds himself swept into a dangerous anti-adulthood highlighted with overblown enemies and high concept pranks.

Love interest Cole (Mackenzie Firgens) somewhat grounds Caleb, but as the stakes get higher for the man-boy to stand up for his beliefs against the comic tyranny of real estate mogul James Paddington (Paul Gleason) and off-kilter Officer Scar (Jeff Berg), Caleb finds all his stability pulled out from under him, the questions of his existence diminished to those of friendship, loyalty and righteousness.

Thanks and happy viewing!

Team IndieFlix
