Starz Media, the digital unit of Liberty Media, has struck a deal with Overture to distribute its content via pay-per-view and video-on-demand, Daily Variety reports. Starz expects up to 15 titles from Overture and Anchor Bay Entertainment to be released on both platforms this year. The first title to become available is Thomas McCarthy’s well-reviewed indie “The Visitor” starring Richard Jenkins (“Six Feet Under”). Overture has similar distribution deals with sister cable networks Starz and Encore.
