FACTORY 25:
High and low concept films and music docs have a home at FACTORY 25, the new Brooklyn-based independent film + music label. Beginning in September 2009, FACTORY 25 will release films, theatrically, digitally, and on DVD, and will curate provocative limited edition DVD/Vinyl combination packages. Specializing in indie niche projects, FACTORY 25 is committed to delivering films and music in perfect analog or digital quality on DVD and vinyl in aesthetically interesting packaging.

Matt Grady, founder, FACTORY 25:  
Grady has produced more than 300 DVD titles for major and indie labels since the mid-1990s. While director of production at Brooklyn-based Plexifilm for seven years, he oversaw projects including the documentary features Helvetica, Style Wars, and I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco. A New Hampshire native and true music fan, he owes his career path to a family friend that introduced him to three life changing albums: XTC’s Waxworks, Pogues’ Rum, Sodomy and the Lash and the Bauhaus’ 12" of Bela Lugosi’s Dead.

Grady's mission is to use FACTORY 25 as a way to keep physical media alive, while exposing the indie world to under-the-radar films, music, and other curiosities.

Why FACTORY 25:
The origins of the name Factory 25 came from the actual factory number in Virginia where the Honus Wagner T206 tobacco card was printed.  The Wagner T206 is one of the most fetishized and obsessed over pieces of ephemera of the 20th century.  Twenty five is also the Factory Records catalog number of the album Closer by Joy Division considered by many as being one of the best records of all time.
