Where've you been Rock???? Been waiting for those L2s! Glad to see you joined us this morning. What do you think this thing is going to do today?
IP: Logged |
To those of you who have come to know my style, you know that I’m a big believer in communication. This has been my approach ever since I came on board this company, a little less than a year ago.
I was upfront with shareholders when we had to sell shares, and I announced when the selling was complete. I took a lot of heat last month for explaining about the selling, but I believe that investors now know that I tell it like it is.
Since our tremendous run this week, many new shareholders have come on board. And many new questions have come my way. Based on this, I felt it time to update you about what’s going on, and to dispel some of the myths I have been hearing about the company.
I decided to take this opportunity to start posting my thoughts on Stock Info Systems.
I have so far released several shareholder letters, but sometimes there is not enough news to make a full-fledged press release about it. It is in these situations that I feel that this is the most appropriate venue to address matters of interest.
You may not always like what I have to say, but at least you know it is the truth. I am a big believer in being transparent to shareholders.
So without further delay, here are the answers to some questions I have been getting:
Q: Are you selling shares?
A: No, we announced that we closed our Regulation D Offering. Here is the press release:
Q: Do you anticipate doing another Reg D offering?
A: No.
Q: If you did do another Reg D offering, when would you be able do it?
A: We can only sell $1 million of stock in any 12-month period under Rule 504. We do not intend to do another 504 offering, but if we did, it would not be till May 2007.
Q: How many authorized shares are there?
A: 2 billion.
Q: How many outstanding shares are there?
A: 1,998,101,227 as of May 9th when we closed the 504 offering.
Q: Did you pay for the new PR firm with cash or shares?
A: Cash. This PR firm is very reputable. Reputable PR companies do not take shares. Here is some information on them:
Public Relations Firm:
http://www.lcoonline.com/ With over 20 years experience LCO - Levine Communications Office - has garnered a reputation as a leader in the field of Public Relations. Clients have and continue to include some of the most renowned people and corporations, names such as Barbra Streisand, Charlton Heston, Robert Evans, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Nike, Sharp and Pizza Hut.
Founded in 1983 by Michael Levine, author of the acclaimed "Guerrilla PR" - LCO has developed hundreds of respected and prized PR campaigns and secured national and international results in virtually all major media outlets, including CNN, The Today Show, MSNBC, Entertainment Tonight, BBC, The New York Times, The London Daily Telegraph, The LA Times, Newsweek, Time, Rolling Stone, MTV and Vanity Fair.
From its flagship office in Los Angeles, and affiliates in New York and London, LCO works with clients on both national and global campaigns. The firm provides clear cut solutions for all and any PR situation - from publicity and media relations through to corporate communication and crisis management - and clients benefit from LCO's wealth of experience, personal style and "can do" passionate approach.
About Michael Levine:
http://www.mlevineonline.com With more than 20 years experience and having represented some of modern society's biggest names and companies, Michael Levine is the founder of LCO - Levine Communications Office.
As the author of 16 books, including Guerrilla PR - considered the most widely used introduction to Public Relations in the world - Levine is an industry expert who is frequently called upon by national media to provide PR insight into topical news and events.
Called by USA Today, "one of Hollywood's brightest and most respected executives," Levine has been responsible for public relations campaigns for, among others, Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Charlton Heston, Linda Evans, Robert Evans, Jon Voight, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Kareem Adbul-Jabbar, Nancy Kerrigan, Cameron Diaz, Ozzy Osbourne, Bill O'Reilly, Suzanne Somers, Demi Moore and Michael J. Fox. His clients have run from movie & TV stars, to sports heroes, to music figures, comics, producers and multi-national corporations. When not in the office, Levine can be found speaking at national conferences, and conducting philanthropic work for the community of Los Angeles.
A: They are very experienced at Cannes, and will assist us in helping to stand out and market our latest movie “Say It In Russian” (http://www.sayitinrussianmovie.com/) to film buyers.
Q: How do you sell your movies or make money from your movies?
A: There are three ways:
1) We can sell out a movie outright to a big film buyer either for cash upfront or a mix of cash and future revenue. 2) We can sell the movie rights to various countries and markets ourselves. For example selling the Brazilian TV rights, the German DVD rights etc, etc… 3) We can distribute the movie ourselves. We started our own distribution company for our first release of “All That I Need” (allthatineed.net), which was released in theatres in December.
Q: Which of the above options would you chose?
A: We will negotiate the best deal(s) for the company possible.
Q: If you can’t sell shares, how do you fund your future projects?
A: With unit investments from investors, which may consist of either equity in the films or equity and restricted stock; a combination of both. To the extent we have subsidiary divisions, like Muller Media, the funding will be done through the subsidiary.
Some of our projects also benefit from being co-productions, utilizing tax incentives or sponsorship deals. We can also pre sell distribution rights in exchange for capital.
Q: What are the present and upcoming properties of the company?
A: Here they are:
ALL THAT I NEED (ATIN)
This was our first movie. A modest independent movie with no stars and budget under $400,000.00 that went on to be released in theatres. This allowed us to start a distribution wing for the company, so that we can release movies directly ourselves.
Around Dec 12th of 2005 I issued a shareholder letter for ATIN and how it did at the box office.
We plan to market the movie for further distribution opportunities at this year's Cannes Film Market, which is from May 17th-28th. Last year this movie got a standing ovation in screenings at the Cannes Film Market.
We are also working on a DVD that will contain bonus features such as deleted scenes, director's commentary and other bonuses. I am excited to release this special edition DVD when it is ready.
We also just announced that IPRE has signed a distribution deal with ReelTime TV to Distribute Growing Library of Films and TV: http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/news.jsp?url=fis_story.asp%3Ftextpath% 3DCOMTEX%5Cbw%5C2006%5C04%5C20%5C77865763.html%26clientid%3D168%26 provider%3DBUSINESS_WIRE&symbol=IPRE
SAY IT IN RUSSIAN (SIIR)
We just finished shooting this movie on Super 35mm. It stars Faye Dunaway, Steven Brand and Rade Serbedzija, amongst many others, and was shot in Paris, Moscow and Los Angeles.
"Say it in Russian" is about a young American who meets a Russian girl in Paris and falls in love with her. He follows her to Moscow, where both of them become entwined in her father's dangerous situation.
We will have a trailer and promotional materials ready for Cannes, and we intend to negotiate distribution deals for the movie at that time. Distributors have already approached us. This movie is currently valued at between $10-20 million.
We have set a temporary release date for this movie of December 2006.
"Whiskers" is a family film about an intelligent seal, in danger of being euthanized for scientific study, who is released by a researcher's young daughter. As he is pursued by the "bad guys," Whiskers has various adventures with a family, and the young girl, who finds her first love through Whiskers. Whiskers is produced by Academy Award Winner Jordan Klein ("Flipper," "Jaws," "Splash").
According to a study made by the Dove Foundation of films made in the years 1989 through 2003, family films are 11 times more profitable than their R-rated counterparts. "Whiskers" is produced by Jordan Klein ("Flipper," "Jaws," "Cocoon") and follows the adventures of an intelligent sea lion and the family he befriends.
On May 3rd we announced that Imperia Entertainment Acquires Subsidiary; Creates Family Film Division to assist with the production and release of "Whiskers": http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/news.jsp?url=fis_story.asp%3Ftextpath% 3DCOMTEX%5Cbw%5C2006%5C05%5C03%5C78319046.html%26clientid%3D168%26 provider%3DBUSINESS_WIRE&symbol=IPRE
We are looking to start shooting "Whiskers" this fall.
AUTOGRAPH
The long running and award-winning "Autograph" interview series, which currently airs on the Colours Television Network.
It won a Bronze Medal at the New York festivals in 2003 and a Gold Globe Award from the World Media Festival in Hamburg, in 2003.
"Autograph" is the celebrity interview show that sits viewers down with the A-list of Hollywood. In 26 one half hour episodes, featuring intimate interviews of notable stars, this series will remain a classic for centuries to come. Each episode digs deep and reveals who they are and what they think.
An MMA movie aimed at the hard to reach, but big spending male demographic of 18-34.
Because of tax incentives for shooting in Canada, the Canadian government will cover a big percentage of the budget. Also, sponsors who are interested in the project have already approached us and expressed interest.
We will be shooting this movie Fall/Summer of this year.
Here is some more information about MMA and how it is exploding with young adult males:
MMA is an emerging sport, which has already gained huge acceptance in Asia and looks poised to explode into the mainstream in North America. Indeed, several landmarks have recently occurred within the sport of MMA. For example, Marc Ratner, who served with the Nevada State Athletic Commission since 1984, and as its Executive Director for the last 13 years, recently left his job to join the UFC. In his new position he will seek to attain sanctioning of the sport in additional states.
The UFC held its first event in California at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim on April 15th. The event quickly sold out all 18,000 seats in two days and was the fastest sell-out event in UFC history and brought in a $9 million US gate. A similar event is scheduled for May 27th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA.
The sport is also gaining exposure on television. The IFL recently signed a distribution deal with Fox Sports Net for their first event in April, and the UFC just extended its content deal with Spike TV. The UFC's MMA-based reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" is the top rated-series for Spike TV, formerly called "the network for guys." Season #1 (13 weeks) of "The Ultimate Fighter" averaged a 1.7 HH rating (1.5 million) with a 2.0 (1,015,000) in M18-49, a 2.4 (604,000) in M18-34, and an average audience of 2.1 million viewers.
The 3rd "Ultimate Fighter" season premiered April 6th, 2006 as the most-watched original series premiere in Spike TV History. It drew record ratings for the network and out-delivered anything else in television in its timeslot in the hard-to-reach demographic of Men 18-34. The 90-minute premiere also out-delivered major competition on cable including the NBA on TNT (Pistons vs. Heat and Lakers vs. Nuggets) and USA Networks' coverage of The Masters.
On the popular search engine yahoo.com, MMA fighters and events routinely are at the top of the list of most-often-searched sports, often beating out huge mainstream sports such as football and basketball. This is further proof that MMA is a huge underground hit with young adult males. Earlier this week it was even more searched on yahoo.com than popular reality TV show "American Idol."
With several debuts occurring in the great state of California over the next few months, all signs point to this being just the beginning.
BROTHERS
A comedy in the vein of "Brokeback Mountain." Here is a synopsis:
Simon, a teenage obsessive-compulsive joke teller is an embarrassment to Jason, his older jock brother, especially after he decides he is gay and in love with Gary, one of his brother's teammates on the school football team. Despite no interest or even real contact with the object of his affection, Simon will not be deterred from proclaiming his new gay love to the world and trying to woo Gary. Gary and Jason both become the laughing stock of the school. Gary's homophobic father and school football coach finally has Simon arrested for stalking and in an emotional trial, Simon's mother and brother both have to testify for the prosecution.
"Brothers" is produced by Tarquin Gotch, the Executive Producer of "Home Alone," the most successful comedy film of all time, which made over $500 million at the Box Office.
"Brothers" is scheduled to begin filming by the end of the year.
