(PRWEB) April 14, 2006 -- Hollywood Studios entered the digital age this week with the announcement that movies such as King Kong and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire are soon to become available for download on the Internet. However these mega-blockbusters have been beaten to the punch by smaller more innovative production hoses find more innovative ways to release their films.


The first example is a little Aussie movie that called, "The Secret." This months release of "The Secret" this month marks the first online feature film to be made available online on a pay-per-view basis. This has allowed it to be delivered to all points of the globe at once using the new, much touted technology of VIVIDAS.


VIVIDAS allows "The Secret" to be viewed by consumers from just about any computer anywhere in the world.. Inferior technology of the past, made this impossible before as consumers were unwilling to wait for downloads or be subjected to grainy, mid-screen windows.


The Vividas experience takes broadband users into the future. With one click "The Secret" explodes on to the viewer's computer and plays broadcast quality, full-screen with full stereo sound.


In its first week of release "The Secret" online movie hit number one on the Alexa Movers and Shakers list -- a worldwide report which measures traffic rankings of websites globally.


For the first time in history the knowledge of "The Secret" is being released to the world in this multi million dollar feature length film.


Prime Time Productions' principal Rhonda Byrne, creator of "The Secret," says «Feedback from viewers of "The Secret" has been incredibly positive and moving. The knowledge of "The Secret" is lighting up lives across the planet by the second! And the viewing technology is simple and delivers magnificent, high quality images. For most viewers, watching this video will be just like switching on a TV… except the viewer chooses when to watch.»


A single viewing of "The Secret" is $4.95 is available at www.whatisthesecret.tv


The second Company using exclusively alternative delivery is The Spiritual Cinema Circle (www.SpiritualCinemaCircle.com/intentions).


The Spiritual Cinema Circle say they bring the best of spiritual cinema from around the world directly to your home. «We are the premier distributor of spiritual cinema,» informs co-founder and Hollywood veteran producer, Stephen Simon. (What Dreams May Come, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Somewhere in Time) «We have quickly become the key distributor for movies with meaning.»


What makes the Spiritual Cinema circle unique is that members pay $20 a month to have a DVD delivered to their home,. Like a «book of the month» club, The Circle (as members call it) already boasts subscribers, in 70 different countries around the world. Each month they receive 4 (short, feature and / or documentary) spiritual films on DVD that are theirs to keep.


Spiritual Cinema Circle founder Stephen Simon counts mainstream films like: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, FIELD OF DREAMS and GHOST, and independent films such as: WHALE RIDER and WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW, as films within the genre of spiritual cinema. Since its inception, The Circle has attracted the attention of everyone from spiritual luminaries Neale Donald Walsch, Deepak Chopra and Cheryl Richardson, to media outlets from «USA Today» to «Newsweek» to «MovieMaker Magazine,» to «Spirituality & Health» and the religion writer at the «Chicago Sun-Times.»    


    


    


People are noticing that the two most innovative film companies also have a spiritual bent to them. A search on the Internet shows that both have inspired fans to start online forums at Powerful Intentions (www.Powerful Intentions.com), an social networking site with a spiritual theme.


The CEO of Powerful Intentions (www.PowerfulIntentions.com), Chris Tinney, said "We're thrilled that fans of The Secret and The Spiritual Cinema Circle have become a part of our community. The fact is spiritual no longer means religious. Powerful Intentions allows these companies and others a way to reach the 60 million Americans who consider themselves spiritual, but not religious.»


Will consumers adopt these new delivery methods? Will screaming babies and $10 buckets of popcorn become a thing of the past?


Only time will tell, however, for the time being industry insiders are watching these two companies very closely.
