PASSIONFLIX – A New Premium Streaming Service Focused on the Romance Genre

PLAYA VISTA, Calif. — PASSIONFLIX, a new premium streaming service focused on the romance genre, launched Sept. 1. The service, which caters to the multi-billion dollar romance novel community has forged relationships with the top romance authors in the world to create feature film adaptations of best-selling romance novels.

NY Times Best Seller, Alessandra Torre’s, Hollywood Dirt, kicks off a series of sought-after feature film adaptations, exclusively available on PASSIONFLIX. Hollywood Dirt, starring Emma Rigby and Johann Urb, is available alongside a multitude of romantic classics such as Roman Holiday, Somewhere in Time, Pride & Prejudice and Wuthering Heights; to modern classics The Thomas Crown Affair, Moonstruck, and Sabrina to name a few. Using the platform’s “Barometer of Naughtiness” a subscriber can select from 1 to 5, promising something for every mood.

Global romance icon, Sylvia Day’s fan-favorite Afterburn/Aftershock is scheduled to release this November, with Jill Shalvis’ NY Times Best Seller, The Trouble with Mistletoe releasing in December. Rachel Van Dyken’s The Matchmakers Playbook and Brenda Jackson’s widely read A Brother’s Honor is set for early 2018.

In addition to the four movies already set to release, PASSIONFLIX has optioned the rights to popular novels, including Jodi Ellen Malpas’ This Man series, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s young adult fantasy series Wicked, The Driven series by K. Bromberg, Dark Pleasures series by Julie Kenner, Kristen Ashley’s The Will, Maya Rodale’s Billionaire Bad Boy series as well as works from Melissa Foster, J. Kenner, CD Reiss, Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde, and Emma Chase.

Passionflix has created a 360 community; the website features interviews with authors whose books have been adapted highlighted in the Wine & Cheese Lounge category where subscribers have an opportunity to look behind the scenes at the making of the films.

PASSIONFLIX is a female-centric concept developed by three visionary women: Tosca Musk, Jina Panebianco and Joany Kane.

“I think woman have a unique way of looking at the world,” says PASSIONFLIX Founder Tosca Musk, “and we have an opportunity with PASSIONFLIX to focus on the female gaze as filmmakers. Most movies and series are made with the male gaze in mind (intentional or not). These stories and this platform seek to undo or change that. We want you to look at love from our perspective: Connection, sensuality, and communication to start.”

Jina Panebianco, PASSIONFLIX Founder, adds, “Our stories are love stories… Love is a common thread. Everyone is looking for love, has been in love and we want to connect with our audience in all of these ways.”

“We launched with Alessandra Torre’s Hollywood Dirt,” said Joany Kane, Founder of PASSIONFLIX, adaption writer of Hollywood Dirt, “Her book is the absolute representation of Passionflix. It’s smart, sexy, fun, quotable and every single character has irresistible charm. A movie that you can watch over and over again, and newly fall in love with it every single time. Passionflix is about passion, and we will be a source of it for viewers around the world, 24/7.”
