Studio Beyond Launches the Second Phase of its Integrated Online Office System - A Concept Years Ahead of its Time

LONDON, October 24, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities for the Film and Television
Industry

Following a successful trial period last week, StudioBeyond.net today
announces the launch of its fully-fledged integrated online studio office
system for the film and television industry.

After three years of intensive development, Studio Beyond offers a
fully-comprehensive online business platform where aspiring and established
professionals can have barrier-free access to producers, sales agents,
distributors, and financiers worldwide. This is the first global online
office environment designed to service the special needs of the film and TV
industries. These tools enable users to integrate all of their professional
activities into one dedicated mobile office, and in fact, one deceptively
simple screen!

The idea is the brainchild of Jasmin Prosser, Studio Beyond's founder
and CEO. Ms Prosser first conceived the bespoke online office concept three
years ago, after spending some time in LA's film industry. "I was surprised
to see how many talented and skilled people find it hard to break into the
movie industry, mostly due to a lack of connections," she recalls. "We are
fully committed to supporting emerging talent, and believe that creativity
should not be hindered by barriers or connections, and that creativity
understands only one language: self-expression."

A World beyond Facebook

"People have called our online office 'a Facebook for the film
industry'," comments Prosser, "but it's beyond that. It's a commercial
outlet with a fully fledged online studio office which provides a
'360-degree' service in-which anyone from talent seeking employment to
producers seeking funding to distributors seeking content (and everyone
in-between) can connect with each-other and start doing business online."

What does the online studio office offer?

The platform combines a number of social media elements and a handful of
other tools in one centralized home page location. These tools include
multi-media uploaders and readers, and facilities to generate Talent,
Executive and Press calls and auditions, as well as hosting or attending
online screenings.

With a few clicks these tools allow users to make contacts easily, to
manage key relationships or directly participate in film or TV projects.
Privacy settings are easy to manage and can be varied from one project to
another for all groups and individual contacts.

Using this platform, entertainment professionals have access to key
collaborators at their fingertips. Technically, the interface is very
simple, as it does not involve browsing through various windows or tabs to
employ multiple online applications. All functions are integrated through
Alerts, which automatically guide a user to take action, along with simple,
easy-to-use tools to execute key tasks.

"This mobile office gives users freedom to integrate professional
activities across borders of time, geographic location and social
constraint. It bypasses the old system of endless middlemen preventing those
in support and finance roles from interfacing in the film industry," says
Prosser.

Who benefits from the Studio Beyond virtual office?

The online studio office will benefit film and TV industry professionals
as well as members of the press. Customized packages exist for three
distinct groups:

1) Executives (Producers, Studio Executives, Distributors,
Sales Agents, Film Financiers, Casting and Talent Agents, TV
Broadcasters, Exhibitors, Film Festivals)
2) Talent (Actors, Directors, Writers, Editors, Composers)
3) Members of the Press (Journalists, Film Publicists, Editors,
Film Critics)

What the industry are already saying about Studio Beyond:

Adrian Paul, Actor (HIGHLANDER): "Studio Beyond will change the way
movies are made and the way they are distributed - the old model soon won't
exist anymore."

Anthony Waller, Director (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS): "There are a
lot of artificial barriers in place in the current system, which prevent
direct communication from happening. Studio Beyond removes those barriers
with this online platform."

NOTES:

Media presentations are available on request.
