This is a new concept of preview screenings along with simulcast talent throughout the US intersects mutual brand/themes.

This is not an annual festival, it takes place all year long in 60+ U.S. in-theater locations. The spots and promotional materials are in place 365 days a year. It is a new, very upscale concept and the only one of its kind. We are very easy to work with, very flexible and scalable. We could also do a one/multi month promo.

It is the first and only of its kind!
