Factory 25, a Brooklyn-based independent film distribution company was founded in 2009 by Matt Grady. F25 is a home for conceptually provocative narratives and documentaries. Its mission is to deliver specialized film and music titles in an aesthetically captivating way while exposing the indie world to under-the-radar films, music, and other curiosities in various ways and formats — theatrically, digitally, on TV, VOD, via subscription, limited edition DVDs,  Blu-ray's, books and vinyl. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

Following the death of their mother, a Thai-American brother and sister navigate living in New York City and beyond. Jamie plans an impromptu trip for her and her brother to get out of the city. Along the way, and upon their return to New York, the two siblings face a series of unexpected revelations. Shot on 16mm, Softshell gives the mumblecore aesthetic a unique Asian American worldview.
