Los Angeles, CA — May 28, 2026 Entertainment Oxygen, the media technology company behind eoFlix and CineLot, today announced a strategic partnership with Whale TV to expand independent film access across Smart TV, connected TV, OTT, and ad-supported streaming environments.
The partnership is designed to help independent filmmakers reach audiences beyond the festival window by bringing selected eoFlix films into the living room through Whale TV's Smart TV operating system and Whale TV+ streaming platform.
Whale TV describes its platform as bringing broadcast TV, streaming apps, and connected devices together in one place. Whale TV+ offers thousands of hours of free live and on-demand TV, while Whale TV's operating system supports personalized discovery, universal search, and AI-powered recommendations.
For independent filmmakers, this partnership creates a clearer path from festival exposure to long-term audience access. Many films receive recognition during festival screenings but lose visibility after the event ends. eoFlix was built to help change that by giving selected films new opportunities for continued discovery, distribution, and monetization.
"Independent films deserve more than one festival moment," said Entertainment Oxygen. "Our partnership with Whale TV helps bring these stories into the connected TV environment, where audiences are already watching. This is about extending film life beyond the festival and giving filmmakers a stronger path to be seen."
Whale TV has partnered with more than 400 TV brands including Netflix, Max, Prime Video and is actively used by over 46.5 million households worldwide. The platform focuses on making television smarter, simpler, and more personalized for viewers.
Through this partnership, eoFlix will continue expanding its role as a streaming and distribution platform for independent films, helping filmmakers reach audiences across Smart TV, connected TV, OTT, FAST, and ad-supported streaming channels.
The partnership also supports Entertainment Oxygen's broader mission to build infrastructure for the independent film lifecycle — from festival submission and screening through CineLot, to continued audience reach and distribution through eoFlix.
eoFlix is a streaming and film distribution platform created by Entertainment Oxygen to help independent films continue reaching audiences beyond the festival circuit. The platform focuses on long-term film visibility, audience discovery, connected TV distribution, and creator monetization opportunities across digital platforms.
