With the Australian film market burgeoning, the multi-million dollar production - The Secret - was created and produced by Rhonda Byrne at Melbourne-based Prime Time Productions. Vividas technology will stream full screen, broadcast quality pictures and sound direct to computers over the internet.

The 95-minute full-length movie created by Byrne, features some of the most successful and leading minds in the movie business. Byrne is a former producer of the Don Lane Show, Logie Awards, World's Greatest Commercials and numerous other television special events.

Prime Time's Paul Harrington said: "The Secret reveals an age old mystery known to many of the greatest achievers in history, yet kept from the public at large. Our aim has always been to reveal this knowledge to millions across the planet. We are thrilled with the opportunity to reach out to the world through our alliance with Vividas. We are taking film and television distribution to the leading edge of technology."

Vividas' CEO, Richard Collins, commented: "This is a very exciting project for Vividas - not only is it a first for us but it may well be the first time a full length feature film has premiered online rather than in cinemas or on TV. We believe Vividas technology will enhance the reach, quality and simplicity of the viewing experience."

Broadband users around the globe will be able to just click play the movie for US $4.95 as of 24 March.

It will also be available on DVD at http://www.whatisthesecret.tv on March 26th.
