Family Room Entertainment Corporation ( FMLY ), with its subsidiaries Emmett/Furla Films Productions, Emmett/Furla Films Distribution and EFF Independent, is a publicly held company trading on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board under the symbol "FMLY." Family Room Entertainment develops, produces and performs production-related services for the entertainment industry. Family Room Entertainment's aim is to create and produce high quality motion pictures with high profile talent that can be distributed to a worldwide audience. FMLY derives its income from producer fees, consulting and service fees as well as its participation in the profits of the various pictures it produces.
The FMLY co-founders, Randall Emmett and George Furla, believe that they have the expertise and contacts within the entertainment industry, specifically in the competitive production and distribution arenas, to profitably acquire content, package product by adding value to the content with top quality talent, and produce motion pictures with moderate to higher level budgets which can be distributed to a mass worldwide audience. However, there is no assurance that any motion picture which has not yet been released will be released, that a change in the scheduled release dates of any such films will not occur or, if such motion picture is released, it will be successful.
