Adam Yauch of Beastie Boys and producer of the Bad Brains has joined ThinkFilm executive David Fenkel to found a direct-mail DVD program. The $150 subscription service, called 'Circle of Trust,' plans to ship a new DVD per month for its next 10 releases one week prior each film's official release to the public. Subscribers will also be able to purchase DVDs from the Oscilloscope catalog at half price.

Yauch told The Hollywood Reporter about his plans:

It's kind of like when you're a kid and get a magazine and you don't know exactly what you're going to get, but that's what makes you so excited about it, Hopefully we reach that level of harassment."

No word on what kind of films will make up the subscription services inaugaral lineup but the company owns the rights to Colin Beavan's environmental documentary No Impact Man and Oren Moverman's military drama, The Messenger. Along with his production and musical work, Yauch also frequently directed some of the Beastie Boys' more elaborate music videos under the name Nathanial Hörnblowér.
