AFM Filmmakers Get First Look at Digital Media Bank

World's first IP management firm built on banking service model

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Motion picture distribution pioneer Omar Kaczmarczyk announced during the American Film Market the launch of Digital Media Bank, the world's first film and television intellectual property management company structured after the service model of a bank.

The result is a comprehensive distribution and marketing engine for independent filmmakers.

Digital Media Bank is a strategic partnership between Kaczmarczyk's LongTale, LLC, a proven international film sales agency, GoDigital Media Group, a leading digital distributor, and ContentBridge Systems, the makers of the ContentBridge suite of media management and distribution automation software.

Like a traditional bank, DMB will accept deposits; but not of cash, rather of rights from copyright owners. Digital Media Bank will then manage and exploit these rights through extensive global licensing much in the way a bank generates a return on principal by lending its deposits. All assets and transactions will be managed via an online dashboard, which provides producers with access to bank-like value-added services for a fee, such as marketing, advertising, and PR.

"At Digital Media Bank, filmmakers take control of their intellectual property," says Kaczmarczyk. "Producers can direct a powerful combination of proven industry experts to execute the distribution and marketing of their films while enjoying complete insight into the process."
