The Movie Studio to release ‘Dancing on the Edge’ on Amazon Prime
MUMBAI: The Movie Studio has signed a deal with Amazon to release Dancing on the Edge on Prime. Its latest release is a family drama written, produced and directed by Alexander MacKenzie and a winner of 10 independent film awards. The picture tells the story of young Corey, an adolescent teenager with dreams of becoming a ballerina before peer pressure led to substance abuse. Corey must overcome the challenged to get back to what matters most, i.e. dancing.
“The Movie Studio is excited that our latest release, Dancing on the Edge, with closed captioning, will go live on Amazon’s major video-on-demand platform,” said The Movie Studio CEO and president Gordon Scott Venters.
“As we continue development of our business model as a first mover of applicated geo-fractured disruptive technology for independent motion picture content, we look forward to the completion of Vu-Me’s beta test and application,” he added.
Dancing on the Edge stars up new comer Nichole McCollough. She is supported by Emily Abramson, Tom Zalkato, Alisa Rakoz, Heidi Geil and Victor Morris.
The domestic VOD rights were facilitated and licensed by All Channel Films.

Nodwin Gaming partners with Runestone for esports data and integrity solutions
South Asian esports leader joins forces with Czech tech firm to enhance tournament operations.
MUMBAI: Nodwin Gaming has just levelled up its game by bringing in a specialist to keep the scoreboard honest and the fans fully engaged. The leading South Asian esports and gaming company has announced a strategic partnership with Runestone, a Prague-headquartered esports technology firm specialising in real-time data and engagement solutions for tournament organisers and publishers.
The collaboration aims to strengthen competitive integrity, improve operational oversight, and deliver more interactive viewing experiences across Nodwin’s properties. It will initially focus on the Nodwin Clutch Series for Counter-Strike 2, a Tier 2 tournament that provides emerging teams with consistent competitive opportunities and helps build the talent pipeline.
The latest edition of the series recently concluded with Big defeating ECSTATIC 2–1 in the grand final of the $50,000 online event.
Nodwin Gaming chief business officer at MENA and global head of data monetization Teemu Koski said, “Integrity and transparency are fundamental to sustainable esports ecosystems, especially in Tier 2 competition where the next generation of talent emerges. Runestone’s expertise complements our experience in building scalable esports IPs.”
Runestone head of partnerships Michael Schwartz added, “Nodwin Gaming has built one of the most dynamic esports ecosystems across emerging markets. We’re thrilled to collaborate on supporting tournaments with greater transparency, deeper fan interaction, and scalable tools.”
Both companies are exploring opportunities to extend the partnership across additional titles, including mobile-first competitive ecosystems, and to develop new products for publishers, tournament operators, and event promoters.
In the rapidly growing world of esports, where fair play and fan excitement are equally crucial, Nodwin Gaming and Runestone are teaming up to ensure every match is not only competitive but also transparent and engaging. This alliance could well become a game-changer for Tier 2 tournaments across South Asia and beyond.
