DigiNext Films has just announced that Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS as their charitable partner for their inspirational documentary The Standbys. The Standbys follows three undiscovered Broadway performers for several years through their ups and downs, struggles and triumphs, onstage performances and private lives. When these Standbys are finally given the chance of a lifetime, anything can-and does-happen.

Through this partnership, DigiNext Films will be donating 10% of the gross profit from The Standbys to the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS non-profit organization. It is DigiNext's hope that through these donations, they are able to assist the organization in their endeavors to help men, women, and children across the country receive lifesaving medications, health care, nutritious meals, counseling and emergency financial assistance.
