Description

The way we acquire content is from a variety of places.

We use a digital rights marketplace like Vuulr where we negotiate a deal with the seller. We have been agreeing to pay $100 for 30 minutes of video for a 30+ run in the cinema. We are hiring a program director who can get us in touch with genre filmmakers for a fee and that usually works to about $750/month. We also reach out to rights owners to negotiate a deal. So far we have agreed to pay for the following films which we will be showing over the next 2 months with a total payout of $800 pending.

Javelina Run - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10461524/?ref\_=fn_al_tt\_1

Rubbish Robbers - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10189360/?ref\_=fn_al_tt\_1

We intend to acquire at least 4 more titles costing between $400 - $1000.

Total expenditure is expected for the month of March and April.
