PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Eclipse Channel announced today that it will be a sponsor of the New York City Horror Film Festival (NYCHFF) to be held on November 18 - 22 at the Tribeca Cinemas in lower Manhattan. The online broadcast network debuted its channel in September 2009 and provides full screen 720p definition broadcast capabilities to film producers and video content owners.

"We are excited to be a sponsor of the New York City Horror Film Festival," said Rick Dean, President & CEO of Eclipse Channel. "This is a unique opportunity to introduce our company and the superior viewing experience it offers to filmmakers and their audiences around the world."

The NYCHFF is America's largest and most recognized genre film festival focusing solely on Horror and Science Fiction.

"The Festival, in existence for eight years, has been committed to bringing together the community in support of genre films and filmmakers," said Michael J. Hein, CEO of Moodude Films and founder of the NYCHFF. The festival is a platform to recognize those who have paved the way in the development of classic horror films, also hosts screenings of new short- and feature-length films and an awards ceremony.
