Cinema Events, LLC Announces the Appointment of Dennis Fogarty to Senior Advisor

NEW YORK, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Fred B. Tarter, chairman of Cinema Events LLC is pleased to announce that Dennis Fogarty has joined the company as Senior Advisor. As a longtime colleague of Mr. Tarter's with extensive experience in the cinema industry, including previously serving as Chief Executive Officer of Screenvision Cinema Network, Mr. Fogarty will be responsible for assisting with the development and introduction of Cinema Events' unique alternative content programming to theaters worldwide.

Prior to his appointment at Cinema Events, Mr. Fogarty served as Managing Partner for Naples Capital Management. During his tenure with Screenvision, Mr. Fogarty expanded the company's network of movie screens from 1,000 to 14,000, and drove revenue from $2 million in 1993 to $16 million by 2000. Prior to Screenvision, he was Executive Vice President at BKN Network, responsible for strategy and programming. Mr. Fogarty started his career in advertising, where he worked at some of the top agencies, including Grey Group, BBDO North America and McCann Erickson.

"Cinema Events has been working with a number of different entertainment providers to repurpose and offer our one-of-a-kind content in the theater setting and the momentum has been exciting," said Mr. Tarter. "No one knows the cinema industry quite like Dennis - he is a marketing powerhouse when it comes to the theater. We are confident that having him on board will provide Cinema Events with a distinct set of tools to leverage as we continue to build on our growing success."

Beyond offering unique content to theaters, Cinema Events delivers creative and targeted marketing support for the events it produces - a highly desirable asset for its theater clients, who have yet to provide their audiences with this type of entertainment offering. To support its theatre clients, Cinema Events employs a number of different marketing tactics, which are designed to be highly targeted and effective for filling seats at times previously considered "off-hours". The types of entertainment content that audiences and theater owners can expect from Cinema Events include concerts, comedy, sports, lectures, and special interest programming, such as personal growth speakers and film festivals.

"Rarely does one get the chance to be involved at the early stages of a winning concept, which is what I view Cinema Events as - a natural evolution of the theater and types of entertainment we see," said Mr. Fogarty. "The ability to deliver content digitally has really opened up opportunities. Cinema Events is perfectly poised to provide audiences with a new entertainment experience, and theaters with a new and dynamic revenue model. I'm thrilled to be a part of this and to be working with Fred again."
