Web Portal Enables Film Festival Producers to Reach Global Audience Year Round

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Onstream Media Corporation (NASDAQ:ONSM), an online service provider of live and on-demand digital media, communications and applications, today launched its Film Festival Online(TM) solution www.filmfestivalonline.net at the International Film Festival Summit (IFFS), being held in Las Vegas, NV from December 2 through December 4, 2007.

Onstream Media's Film Festival Online is a comprehensive web portal that enables film festival organizers to bring together independent film producers, marketers and distributors in a web-based environment to review, judge and promote any type of film via the Internet all year round.

"Film Festival Online is another example of Onstream Media's continuing efforts to develop and market innovative technologies for our valued clients worldwide," said Randy Selman, president and chief executive officer of Onstream Media. "This turnkey solution enables film festival producers to easily provide studio or film-centric microsites, complete with trailers, interviews with the stars, behind-the-scenes looks at how the film was made, b-roll footage, bios and other content specifically tailored for the media and entertainment industry."

Onstream Media's Film Festival Online includes many features and benefits, including:

-- Establishing new revenue streams for our clients through a flexible
array of eCommerce options, such as: pay-per-view packages, video on
demand, sponsorships, pay for placement, web banner advertising and
film hosting.

-- Creating new distribution channels for trailers, short and/or
full-length films through TiVo, iTunes, TakeTV, mobile and other new
media platforms. Playback formats include: digital rights managed
Windows Media, Adobe flash video, QuickTime H.264 and iPod video
formats.

-- Holding juried competitions on-line in advance of the festival with
special invitation-only content with fully-enabled comments, ratings
and reviews. This feature allows judges to easily view secure content

utilizing VeriSign's Kontiki Delivery Management System without the
traditional risks associated with physical media distribution.

In addition, Onstream Media's Film Festival Online enables festival producers to create a speaker's bureau center to stream live or on demand keynotes and other specialized tracks on their festival's events. The solution also provides sponsors, distributors and marketers with advanced reporting, such as site visits, page views, duration of visits, click activity, exit pages and more.
