The producers of The Fellows Hip, an innovative Lord of the Rings fan film and video game cross-marketing effort, announced today that they’ve signed a distribution deal with Highland Film Group.

“We reviewed offers from several distributors and sales agents, but HFG was a cut above the rest,” said producer/director Ron Newcomb, “We’re excited about this partnership and are looking forward to good things to come. Fellows Hip distribution is now in full swing!”

The Fellows Hip is “a hilarious and heartwarming story of a fellowship of geeky gamers overcoming the odds as they journey cross country to the Lord of the Rings gaming convention”. It was filmed in northern Virginia using a cast and crew from the area, many of whom are members of NoVA Christian Film.
