CIVIL COMPLAINT

Thursday, November 5, 2015

INTRODUCTION

1. CATERBONE and ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP have suffered irreparable harm to its reputation and to
its efforts to continue its business operations while as a petitioner in a Chapter 11 Reorganization
Plan filed on May 23, 2005 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District as case
no. 05-23059.
2. CATERBONE and ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP were also continuing a decade long investment in
projects located in the Downtown Lancaster Investment District that have been maliciously
sabotaged with ease due to the gross abuse; negligence; and abuse of process of the Lancaster
City Bureau of Police coupled with the false arrests and the malicious prosecutions. Three main
projects include a UPS Shipping and Copy Store (CATERBONE retains an exclusivity agreement with
UPS); Excelsior Place Business Plan; and the Downtown Theater at Hotel Brunswick 1. CATERBONE
and the ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP have been an active advocate and supporter of the Downtown
Lancaster Convention Center and the revitalization of Downtown Lancaster and have demonstrated
a record of support and advocacy through its meeting and communications with major
stakeholders, public officials, and attendance at public meetings.

In November of 2007,

CATERBONE and the Advanced Media Group went public with their Downtown Lancaster
investments and business plans that were culminated over the past 9 years. The Advanced Media
Group also formerly and publicly introduced their Downtown Lancaster Action Plan 2 via handouts,
websites, and blogs; and began meetings and negotiations with major stakeholders, City of
Lancaster Public Officials, Developers, and investors.
3. CATERBONE has formerly applied to be on the Lancaster Convention Center Authority Board of
Directors in 2007 and has petitioned for a seat on the Lancaster County Government Study Group
in 2006.
4. The PLAINTIFF, Stanley J. Caterbone (CATERBONE), alleges that the City of Lancaster and the
Lancaster City Bureau of Police and others colluded to deliberately ignore CATERBONES
complaints, an abuse of process, in an effort to retaliate, subvert, interrupt and deter current and
ongoing litigation and civil complaints against several major businesses and government agencies
with headquarters in the City of Lancaster and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Those would
include the Lancaster General Hospital; High Industries (not Penn Square Partners and the
Lancaster County Convention Center); Fulton Bank and Fulton Financial Corporation; a Wachovia
Bank branch (pending); Lancaster Newspapers; the County of Lancaster; the Lancaster County
Prison; the Hotel Brunswick (pending); James Street Investment District (pending); Aurora Films;

Haverstick Films (pending); and the Lancaster City Bureau of Police. The City of Lancaster and the
Lancaster City Bureau of Police are derelict in their duties in forcing CATERBONE to litigate for
duties and services due CATERBONE that are mandated in the bylaws of the City of Lancaster.
5. CATERBONE also alleges that the Lancaster City Bureau of Police were used to retaliate, subvert,
interrupt and deter other litigation and civil complaints against other police departments, namely
the Southern Regional Police Department, the Manheim Township Police Department, the East
Lampeter Police Department, the Millersville Boro Police, the Avalon Police Department and the
Stone Harbor Police Department.

CATERBONE alleges that Southern Regional Police Chief John

Fiorill used is official capacity as President of the Red Rose Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police
to help accomplish these civil torts.
6. CATERBONE alleges that by ignoring his complaints the Lancaster City Police Bureau of Police gave
the green light, or approval, for others to continue a long and successful period of harassment,
thievery, property damage, computer and electronic hacking, deletion and manipulation of court
related documents, records and evidence, mail fraud, eaves dropping, invasion of privacy, criminal
trespass, and the like. These activities are so intense that they have taken on the characteristics
of a hate crime.
7. CATERBONE alleges that the gross abuse and gross negligence defamed his name and that of his
company, ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP, which discredited his reputation in an effort to diminish
credibility in the courts; to thwart any reprimands by oversight agencies; and to disrupt and thwart
any possible business relations and operations of ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP. This has resulted in
direct and immediate financial loss, loss of time, and loss of income.
8. CATERBONE had complained of abuse of process to state and federal law enforcement regarding
the situation, including U.S. Senator Arlen Specters office.

CATERBONE had also visited the

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in both Harrisburg and Philadelphia for help and intervention.
9. CATERBONE also had personal meetings with Lancaster City Mayor Rick Gray in Lancaster City Hall
on at least 4 occasions to find a solution to the problems and for help to mediate the problems and
or resolve the conflicts.

The resulting pain and suffering, as well as loss and destruction of

property and financial loss that CATERBONE was undergoing was unprecedented.
10. In November of 2007, CATERBONE and the Advanced Media Group went public with their
Downtown Lancaster investments and business plans that were culminated over the past 9 years.
The Advanced Media Group also formerly and publicly introduced their Downtown Lancaster Action
Plan via handouts, websites, and blogs; and began meetings and negotiations with major
stakeholders, City of Lancaster Public Officials, Developers, and investors.

CAUSES OF ACTION
11. On March 18, 2008 CATERBONE went to the Hotel Brunswick in Downtown Lancaster to continue
take measurements of the Movie Theater for his continued efforts of a business and development
plan.

(The Brunswick Movie Theater, or Eric, had been closed since 1995.

CATERBONE and

Advanced Media Group had an agreement with the Owner of the Brunswick, Hamid Zahedi, to
make a formal proposal and offer for leasing the site. CATERBONE had begun discussions in 2006.)
12. CATERBONE noticed that the United States Department of Justice Office of Trustee was conducting
hearings for Chapter 11 petitioners in the Presidential Room of the Hotel Brunswick 3.
13. CATERBONE thought maybe Dave Adams, the trustee for the United States Department of Justice
Office of Trustee might be conducting the hearings 4.

CATERBONE had gone to the Presidential

Room and had a discussion with the person administering the Bankruptcy Hearings.
14. The following day CATERBONE received a disturbing email from Mr. Barry A. Solodky, Esquire, of
Blakinger, Byler & Thomas, P.C., 28 Penn Square, Lancaster, PA 17603. CATERBONE had known
Mr. Solodky since the 1980s and had even solicited him to review his bankruptcy matters before
the Appllent filed his Chapter 11 case on May 23, 2005. The following email exchanges detail the
incident and the false reports and allegations from a member of Blakinger, Byler & Thomas, P.C.:

CATERBONE had not received ORDERS from his United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals Case No. 083054 for his appeal of an issue in his Chapter 11 Case No. 05-23059. CATERBONE alleged that the
ORDERS were stolen or never mailed from the clerk of courts.
3

Sometime in February of 2008 by way of computer hacking or misconduct within the staff of the Clerk of
Court of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, CATERBONE was erroneously and maliciously placed on
electronic email distribution with no paper copies for all of his ORDERS for all of his cases, which at that
time numbered four (4), without the knowledge of CATERBONE. After receiving one of the email alerts
and ORDERS CATERBONE personally visited the Clerk of Court for the Third Circuit and was told by staff
that it was just a new courtesy copy. The staff did not notify CATERBONE that his cases would not be
eligible for paper copies of ORDERS. CATERBONE was alleging since February that his ORDERS were
being stolen in the U.S. mails, and only received information in April on the bottom of a copy of a letter
attached to an ORDER for Case No. 3054 that he was switched to electronic email distribution with no
paper copies. This makes no sense since, filing as pro se, CATERBONE is not eligible to file any electronic
documents in any U.S. or Pennsylvania Courts without a Pennsylvania Bar License. On several occasions
since February 2008, CATERBONE was not able to open the Third Circuit electronic ORDERS on the first
attempt, which denied CATERBONE access or knowledge of the Third Circuit ORDERS with no way of
retrieving them again. CATERBONE was not even able to respond or know how the United States Third
Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled or what ORDERS were handed down, which also denied CATERBONE
any chance to follow court mandated responses in a timely fashion. On May 29, 2008 at approximately
9:15 am CATERBONE called Ms. Charlene Ciscaden, case manager for the U.S. Third Circuit of Appeals
that manages CATERBONES cases from his cell phone (717) 669-2163). Ms. Ciscaden stated the
following:
a. 1. Motion for Extension of 07-4475 GRANTED on May 22, 2008
b. Motion for Extension of 07-4474 GRANTED on May 27, 2008
c. The U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals has no electronic email address for me.
d. Stan J. Caterbone/Advanced Media Group was never taken off of paper copies for any U.S.
Third Circuit Court of Appeals ORDERS, MOTIONS, or ANY COMMUNICATIONS.
e. All ORDERS, MOTIONS, and COMMUNICATIONS have been sent via 1st Class U.S. Postal
Service.

Hi Stan,
Hope this note finds you well.
Yesterday afternoon I had to attend some bankruptcy meetings on behalf of some clients.
While there the Trustee told me about an event which concerned her. She showed me your
card and told me what happened. In fact she said she almost considered calling the police
because of the incident.
I assured her you were not the type of person that would do anything inappropriate. I did
want you to know she is not an employee of the Dept. of Justice or the Bankruptcy Court;
she is a private panel trustee just as I was for 33 years. If for some reason you have issues
with the bankruptcy system she is not a person who should be hassled as she has nothing
to do with your case.
I'm sending this only because I don't want there to be any further incidents which might
cause her concern or the Federal marshals will get involved and I know they can be nasty.
Needless to say I don't want to see anything to you which would cause you any problems.
I am sure I will bump into you soon. Have a nice Easter.

Re: Meeting With Department of Justice
Barry Solodky,
First, I would have responded earlier, however, your email found it's way into my junk
email.
Secondly, as an officer of the court, you better be careful about spreading lies about me
and fabrications about events that did not happen. By the way, a copy of this will go
directly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Philadelphia Field Office and Detective
Michael Landis of the Lancaster County District Attorney Office. Who do you think you are
talking to?
Thirdly, here is what transpired. The day before I received an ORDER from the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals, which was purposely postmarked 10 days after the Clerk filed and dated

Advanced Media Group


Page 6 of 142
Thursday, November 5, 2015
the Mail to copy to myself. The ORDER was for a no response to a Show Cause ORDER,
which someone had stole from my mail, which I never received. The Third Circuit case was
an appeal from my Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Now, on Wednesday morning I made plans to go to the Hotel Brunswick and take some
measurements in the Movie Theater, which I am in the middle of a development plan. As
usual, I walked into the lobby on the street level adjacent to the parking garage and saw
the easel with the notice that the "Department of Justice" was holding bankruptcy hearings.
I was told a few years ago earlier in my Chapter 11 that they often hold hearings in
Lancaster, at the Brunswick or at the Hotel on Manheim Pike. As soon as I saw the sign I
figured I would see if Joe Adams, my Trustee from the Philadelphia Office of the
Department of Justice Office of Trustee that handles my case, was here.
So, as I usually do, I went to the office of Kevin, the Hotel Brunswick General Manager to
get the key to the movie theater, as per our agreement with Hamid, the owner of the Hotel
Brunswick. He was not in his office, and the Desk Manager had to page him. I asked him
where the Department of Justice was holding the hearings, and told him I needed to talk to
someone there, while he was trying to locate Kevin, the General Manager. I told him I
would be right back.
I went to the Presidential Room where they were holding meetings. When I arrived,
the Trustee, or what private panel trustee, was conducting a meeting with a Spanish
woman, who had a young girl for a translator. I patiently waited by the wall as you walk in
until the entire interview was over. After the private panel trustee dismissed the woman, I
approached her and asked her if she was from the Department of Justice Office of the
Trustee, and she responded that she was a private panel trustee. I simply told her that I
had a problem with someone obstructing justice with my Third Circuit case and asked her if
Joe Adams was in her office. She said she was not from the Philadelphia Office. I gave her
my card and some woman kept trying to talk and interfere. I just calmly left. I went to
meet Kevin, the General Manager, he opened the movie theater and I spent approximately
1 hour taking measurements of the existing floor plan.
There was no incident to speak of. Any incident was a lie, regardless of the person that
kept interfering with our conversation that was trying to cause problems. It was not me,
you fool.
I would suggest that you provide this email to the person that told you that fabricated lie
and anyone else that you communicate with regarding your so called version of an
"incident". Follow this link and you may read why people like you lie about these incidents.
Now, you have a nice Easter Weekend. And by the way, I am a supporter of Senator
Clinton and I do volunteer my services, just in case you were wondering.

15. On April 22, 2008 the Plaintiff, Stan J. Caterbone (CATERBONE) visited the office of the owner of
the Hotel Brunswick, Hamed (HAMED) to discuss the reasons for the delay in delivering the
business plan and development plan for the Downtown Theater at Hotel Brunswick, as promised.
16. Upon entering the office, HAMED claimed to have sent CATERBONE a letter notifying he was no
longer allowed on the premises because CATERBONE allegedly disrupted a meeting.
17. CATERBONE responded by first stating that CATERBONE never received such a letter.
18. CATERBONE then responded that CATERBONE never disrupted a meeting, nor did CATERBONE ever
here of any such incident except the email from Attorney Barry Solodky.

19. CATERBONE put HAMED on notice that CATERBONE would summon authorities and handle the
situation. CATERBONE assumed that the HOTEL BRUNSWICK and HAMED were leaked some of the
preliminary business and development plan from CATERBONES computer and wanted the theater
project for themselves or another party, as with the LANCASTER FILM COMMISSION, and the
JAMES STREET BUSINESS DISTRICT.
20. CATERBONE immediately went to the Office of Lancaster City Mayor Rick Gray to report the
incident.
21. CATERBONE had direct talks and personal meetings with both Pennsylvania Senator Gibson
Armstrong and Pennsylvania House of Representative Michael Sturla regarding obtaining grants for
funding some of the theater project because of the independent film strategy. Both were
optimistic, although the staffer (Mr. Thompson) for AMRSTRONG noted that someone had
approached ARMSTRONG about a movie theater downtown, and immediately put down
CATERBONES efforts and the location and site.
22. CATERBONE had also talks and negotiations with HAMED for the corner storefront of Chestnut and
Queen Streets for the UPS/FEDEX Copy Store.
23. In 2008 CATERBONE had several discussions with Mary Haverstick of Haverstick Films to discuss
the possibility of working together on the Downtown Theater at Hotel Brunswick. CATERBONE had
known Mary Haverstick since the 1980s.
24. Ms. Haverstick was very interested in supporting the project and a future meeting was being
scheduled to begin formal discussions.
25. On --------------- CATERBONE had a meeting with Aurora Films in their office on North Queen
Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
26. On ---------------- CATERBONE had a meeting with Mr. Jay Ingram, Executive Director and founder
of the Lancaster Film Commission.
27. On ---------------- CATERBONE signed an agreement with Roger Fitzsimmons, owner and operator
of Woodcrest Audio to work on the project.
28. On --------------- CATERBONE signed an agreement with Jeff Lefevre regarding the development of
the Excelsior Place building on East King Street, in Downtown Lancaster.

JURISDICTION

Page 9 of 142

Thursday, November 5, 2015

In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them
usually, to obtain property or services unjustly. [1] Fraud can be accomplished through the aid of forged
objects. In the criminal law of common law jurisdictions it may be called "theft by deception," "larceny by
trick," "larceny by fraud and deception" or something similar.
Fraud can be committed through many methods, including mail, wire, phone, and the internet (computer
crime and internet fraud).
Fraud, in addition to being a criminal act, is also a type of civil law violation known as a tort. A tort is a
civil wrong for which the law provides a remedy. A civil fraud typically involves the act of intentionally
making a false representation of a material fact, with the intent to deceive, which is reasonably relied
upon by another person to that person's detriment. A "false representation" can take many forms, such
as:

A false statement of fact, known to be false at the time it was made;


A statement of fact with no reasonable basis to make that statement;
A promise of future performance made with an intent, at the time the promise was made, not to
perform as promised;
A statement of opinion based on a false statement of fact;
A statement of opinion that the maker knows to be false; or
An expression of opinion that is false, made by one claiming or implying to have special knowledge
of the subject matter of the opinion. "Special knowledge" in this case means knowledge or
information superior to that possessed by the other party, and to which the other party did not
have equal access.

In law, defamation (also called vilification, slander, and libel) is the communication of a statement
that makes a false claim, expressively stated or implied to be factual, that may harm the reputation of an
individual, business, product, group, government or nation. Slander refers to spoken comments, while
libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images. Most jurisdictions allow
legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless
criticism. Related to defamation is public disclosure of private facts arises where one person reveals
information which is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person. [1]
"Unlike libel or slander, truth is not a defense for invasion of privacy."[2]
False light laws are "intended primarily to protect the plaintiff's mental or emotional well-being."[3] If a
publication of information is false, then a tort of defamation might have occurred. If that communication is
not technically false but is still misleading then a tort of false light might have occurred.[3]
Slander and libel
The common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander (harmful statement in a transitory form,
especially speech) and libel[4][5] (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially writing but also a
picture, sign, or electronic broadcast), each of which gives a common law right of action.
"Defamation" is the general term used internationally, and is used in this article where it is not necessary
to distinguish between "slander" and "libel". Libel and slander both require publication. [6] The fundamental
distinction between libel and slander lies solely in the form in which the defamatory matter is published. If
the offending material is published in some fleeting form, as by spoken words or sounds, sign language,
gestures and the like, then this is slander. If it is published in more durable form, for example in written
words, film, compact disc (CD), DVD, blogging and the like, then it is considered libel.
Criminal defamation
Many nations have criminal penalties for defamation in some situations, and different conditions for
determining whether an offense has occurred. ARTICLE 19, Global Campaign for Free Expression, has

Advanced Media Group


Page 10 of 142
Thursday, November 5, 2015
published global maps [2] charting the existence of criminal defamation law across the globe. The law is
used predominantly to defend political leaders or functionaries of the state. In Britain, the Italian anarchist
Errico Malatesta was convicted of criminal libel for denouncing the Italian state agent Ennio Belelli in 1912.
While, in Canada, though the law has been applied on only six occasions in the past century, all of those
cases involve libellants attached to the state (police officers, judges, prison guards). In the most recent
case, Bradley Waugh and Ravin Gill were charged with criminal libel for publicly accusing six prison guards
of the racially motivated murder of a black inmate (http://netk.net.au/Canada/Canada15.asp. In
Zimbabwe, "insulting the President" is, by statute, (Public Order and Security Act 2001) a criminal offense.
Defenses
Even if a statement is derogatory, there are circumstances in which such statements are permissible in
law.
Truth
In many legal systems, adverse public statements about legal citizens presented as fact must be proven
false to be defamatory or slanderous/libel. Proving adverse, public character statements to be true is often
the best defense against a prosecution for libel and/or defamation. Statements of opinion that cannot be
proven true or false will likely need to apply some other kind of defense. The use of the defense of
justification has dangers, however; if the defendant libels the plaintiff and then runs the defense of truth
and fails, he may be said to have aggravated the harm.
Another important aspect of defamation is the difference between fact and opinion. Statements made as
"facts" are frequently actionable defamation. Statements of opinion or pure opinion are not actionable. In
order to win damages in a libel case, the plaintiff must first show that the statements were "statements of
fact or mixed statements of opinion and fact" and second that these statements were false. Conversely, a
typical defense to defamation is that the statements are opinion. One of the major tests to distinguish
whether a statement is fact or opinion is whether the statement can be proved true or false in a court of
law. If the statement can be proved true or false, then, on that basis, the case will be heard by a jury to
determine whether it is true or false. If the statement cannot be proved true or false, the court may
dismiss the libel case without it ever going to a jury to find facts in the case.
In some systems, however, notably the Philippines, truth alone is not a defense. [7] Some U.S. statutes
preserve historical common law exceptions to the defense of truth to libel actions. These exceptions were
for statements "tending to blacken the memory of one who is dead" or "expose the natural defects of one
who is alive." [8]
It is also necessary in these cases to show that there is a well-founded public interest in the specific
information being widely known, and this may be the case even for public figures. Public interest is
generally not "that which the public is interested in," but rather that which is in the interest of the public. [9]
[10]

See also: Substantial truth


Privilege and malice
Privilege provides a complete bar and answer to a defamation suit, though conditions may have to be met
before this protection is granted.
There are two types of privilege in the common law tradition:

"Absolute privilege" has the effect that a statement cannot be sued on as defamatory, even if it
were made maliciously; a typical example is evidence given in court (although this may give rise to
different claims, such as an action for malicious prosecution or perjury) or statements made in a
session of the legislature (known as 'Parliamentary privilege' in Commonwealth countries).

Advanced Media Group


Page 11 of 142
Thursday, November 5, 2015
"Qualified privilege" may be available to the journalist as a defense in circumstances where it is
considered important that the facts be known in the public interest; an example would be public
meetings, local government documents, and information relating to public bodies such as the police
and fire departments. Qualified privilege has the same effect as absolute privilege, but does not
protect statements that can be proven to have been made with malicious intent.
Other defenses
Defenses to claims of defamation include:

Truth is an absolute defense in the United States as well as in the common law jurisdictions of
Canada. In some other countries it is also necessary to show a benefit to the public good in having
the information brought to light.
Statements made in a good faith and reasonable belief that they were true are generally
treated the same as true statements; however, the court may inquire into the reasonableness of
the belief. The degree of care expected will vary with the nature of the defendant: an ordinary
person might safely rely on a single newspaper report, while the newspaper would be expected to
carefully check multiple sources.
Privilege is a defense when witness testimony, attorneys' arguments, and judges' decisions,
rulings, and statements made in court, or statements by legislators on the floor of the legislature,
or statements made by a person to their spouse, are the cause for the claim. These statements are
said to be privileged and cannot be cause for a defamation claim.
Opinion is a defense recognized in nearly every jurisdiction. If the allegedly defamatory assertion
is an expression of opinion rather than a statement of fact, defamation claims usually cannot be
brought because opinions are inherently not falsifiable. However, some jurisdictions decline to
recognize any legal distinction between fact and opinion. The United States Supreme Court, in
particular, has ruled that the First Amendment does not require recognition of an opinion privilege.
Fair comment on a matter of public interest, statements made with an honest belief in their
truth on a matter of public interest (official acts) are defenses to a defamation claim, even if such
arguments are logically unsound; if a reasonable person could honestly entertain such an opinion,
the statement is protected.
Consent is an uncommon defense and makes the claim that the claimant consented to the
dissemination of the statement.
Innocent dissemination is a defense available when a defendant had no actual knowledge of the
defamatory statement or no reason to believe the statement was defamatory. The defense can be
defeated if the lack of knowledge was due to negligence. Thus, a delivery service cannot be held
liable for delivering a sealed defamatory letter.
Claimant is incapable of further defamatione.g., the claimant's position in the community is so
poor that defamation could not do further damage to the plaintiff. Such a claimant could be said to
be "libel-proof," since in most jurisdictions, actual damage is an essential element for a libel claim.

In addition to the above, the defendant may claim that the allegedly defamatory statement is not actually
capable of being defamatoryan insulting statement that does not actually harm someone's reputation is
prima facie not libelous.
Special rules apply in the case of statements made in the press concerning public figures. A series of court
rulings led by New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964) established that for a public official (or
other legitimate public figure) to win a libel case, the statement must have been published knowing it to
be false or with reckless disregard to its truth, (also known as actual malice).
Under United States law, libel generally requires five key elements. The plaintiff must prove that the
information was published, the plaintiff was directly or indirectly identified, the remarks were defamatory
towards the plaintiff's reputation, the published information is false, and that the defendant is at fault.
The Associated Press estimates that 95% of libel cases involving news stories do not arise from highprofile news stories, but "run of the mill" local stories like news coverage of local criminal investigations or
trials, or business profiles. Media liability insurance is available to newspapers to cover potential damage
awards from libel lawsuits.

Defamation and freedom of speech

Page 12 of 142

Thursday, November 5, 2015

Defamation laws may come into tension with freedom of speech, leading to censorship or chilling effects
where publishers fear lawsuits, or loss of reputation where individuals have no effective protection against
reckless or unfounded allegations. Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights permits
restrictions on freedom of speech which are necessary for the protection of the reputation or the rights of
others[11].
Jurisdictions resolve this tension in different ways, in particular in determining where the burden of proof
lies when unfounded allegations are made. The power of the internet to disseminate comment, which may
include malicious comment, has brought a new focus to the issue. [12]
There is a broader consensus against laws which criminalize defamation. Human rights organizations, and
other organizations such as the Council of Europe and Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe, have campaigned against strict defamation laws which criminalize defamation. [13][14] The European
Court of Human Rights has placed restrictions on criminal libel laws because of the freedom of expression
provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights. One notable case was Lingens v. Austria (1986).
United States
Main article: United States defamation law
The origins of US defamation law pre-date the American Revolution; one famous 1734 case involving John
Peter Zenger established some precedent that the truth should be an absolute defense against libel
charges. (Previous English defamation law had not provided this guarantee.) Though the First Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution was designed to protect freedom of the press, for most of the history of the United
States, the Supreme Court neglected to use it to rule on libel cases. This left libel laws, based upon the
traditional common law of defamation inherited from the English legal system, mixed across the states.
The 1964 case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, however, dramatically changed the nature of libel law in
the United States by establishing that public officials could win a suit for libel only if they could
demonstrate publishers' "knowledge that the information was false" or that it was published "with reckless
disregard of whether it was false or not". Later Supreme Court cases dismissed the claim for libel and
forbade libel claims for statements that are so ridiculous to be clearly not true, or are involving
opinionated subjects such as one's physical state of being. Recent cases have addressed defamation law
and the internet.
Defamation law in the United States is much less plaintiff-friendly than its counterparts in European and
the Commonwealth countries, due to the enforcement of the First Amendment. In the United States, a
comprehensive discussion of what is and is not libel or slander is difficult, because the definition differs
between different states, and under federal law. Some states codify what constitutes slander and libel
together into the same set of laws. Criminal libel is rare or nonexistent, depending on the state. Defenses
to libel that can result in dismissal before trial include the statement being one of opinion rather than fact
or being "fair comment and criticism". Truth is always a defense.
Most states recognize that some categories of statements are considered to be defamatory per se, such
that people making a defamation claim for these statements do not need to prove that the statement was
defamatory.

The Lancaster Film Commission is a non-profit organization of artists and art


patrons who dedicate themselves to the promotion and expansion of film,
television and video production in the Greater Lancaster, Pennsylvania area. In
cooperation with the State of Pennsylvania Film Commission and the other local
film commissions in the Southeastern section of our state we will develop a solid
rapport with production companies in this area and the major film making cities on
both coasts. With the goal of bringing productions into Lancaster we will offer all
needed services i.e. scouting, permits, names and contact information of local
professionals, including production individuals and companies, plus talent
libraries. We will have updated databases listing businesses which support
productions by offering reduced rates and percentage discounts. We are a service
organization.
Our second goal is community goodwill. We will work to enhance the
entertainment and community relations and strive to unite them in a productive
capacity which will benefit all.
Thirdly we will support and encourage Independent productions, with contests and
festivals which will include film and video grants. There will also be a yearly Film
Festival, each October, which will include film and video projects (major and
minor) with celebrity presenters and participants.

The Lancaster Film Commission will attract and assist film and digital productions.
The film industry generates over $30 billion outside the Los Angeles area and
production companies are always searching for new and supportive areas to set
up shop. LFC will also push for involvement by local businesses and the local film
and video professionals who would like to extend their credits. The positive impact
on Lancaster will be financially as well as artistically strong.

Lancaster Film Commission works to reel in

Jay Ingram was already lending his writing, producing and acting skills to the movie "Rave On" when filming
arrived in Lancaster in late 2004. He soon discovered that there would be more to do as he tried to make sure
things went smoothly for the cast and crew.
"I had to do everything," said Ingram, a Hollywood veteran whose career includes stints on television shows
such as "LA Law," "Magnum,

P.I." and "Another World. " 'I had to find caterers. I had to find lodging."
What Lancaster needed, Ingram told then-Mayor Charlie Smithgall, was a film commission to help attract
productions to the area and help people working on those productions connect with local businesses. Smithgall
agreed, and the Lancaster Film Commission was formed in August 2005, with Ingram as its director.
The nonprofit group has spurred about $1 million of economic activity through the projects it has been able to
attract during the past nine months, Ingram said. These projects include an episode of "Dateline NBC" and a
photo shoot featuring fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh. Ingram believes bringing in more projects could
provide many opportunities for businesses in the Lancaster area.
"We have a chance of making this community a place where a lot of films are made," he said.
Despite his organization's aim, Ingram's job is not necessarily a glamorous one. He is the commission's only
employee, running the organization out of his home in East Hempfield Township. He spends his time
connecting production companies coming to Lancaster with caterers, car-rental businesses and hotels willing to
provide discounts. He takes pictures around the county to send to people interested in the area. He spends many
hours on the phone.
"It's a sales job," he said.

So far, about $35,000 has been poured into the commission's work. Some of that money has come from Ingram
himself, while other funds have come from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic
Development.

Ingram wants to build on the past support the community has shown for the movie business, support forged
when the Harrison Ford movie "Witness" was partially filmed in Lancaster County in the early 1980s. Lancaster
has a variety of environments - old houses, new houses, urban areas, rural areas - that could attract film,
television and video productions, Ingram said. It is close to major metropolitan areas like New York City and
Philadelphia, too.
Distinctive Affairs Catering in Lancaster provided breakfast and lunch for the Lindbergh photo shoot. The
experience was an enjoyable one for the company, manager Brenda Hess said.
"It went well. They were very nice," she said. "If they would call again, we would help them out."
The commisson's efforts could mean more opportunities for college students to gain valuable work experience
in Lancaster County, said Dirk Eitzen, head of the film and media-studies program at Franklin Marshall College
in Lancaster. Many of the students at F&M and other institutions are looking for internships and ways to help
out with productions.
"If (the commission) succeeds, of course it's beneficial for students," Eitzen said. "There are eager students
here."
More people are becoming aware of the economic benefits that film and television projects bring to the state,
said Jane Saul, director of the Pennsylvania Film Office. Such projects generated $249 million in business
activity in 2005, according to statistics from the Harrisburgbased office.
While Philadelphia and Pittsburgh continue to attract the bulk of productions, some smaller areas are joining
Lancaster and forming film commissions. There is a film office in Scranton, as well as one that covers the
Pocono Mountains region. Regional offices offer production companies links to local businesses that the state
sometimes cannot provide, Saul said.
"Having regional offices is something that we welcome, she said. "It's a great help."
Ingram predicts big things for the Lancaster Film Commission. Several film productions expected to come to
the Lancaster area could provide between $5 million and $12 million in additional economic activity during the
summer, he said. Any businesses interested in becoming part of a database of companies willing to assist the
commission can e-mail Ingram at lfc1@comcast.net.

Hi Stan,
Simply put, the Master Program entails any and all aspects of film
making. From the origination of an idea to the writing, rewriting, casting,
directing, producing and marketing.
A person who is interested in one or more of the aspects, signs up and
takes courses at their own rate of speed. Cost is nominal.

Re: Meeting With Department of Justice
Barry Solodky,

First, I would have responded earlier, however, your email found it's way into my junk email.
Secondly, as an officer of the court, you better be careful about spreading lies about me and fabrications
about events that did not happen. By the way, a copy of this will go directly to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation Philadelphia Field Office and Detective Michael Landis of the Lancaster County District
Attorney Office. Who do you think you are talking to?
Thirdly, here is what transpired. The day before I received an ORDER from the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals, which was purposely postmarked 10 days after the Clerk filed and dated the Mail to copy to
myself. The ORDER was for a no response to a Show Cause ORDER, which someone had stole for my
mail, which I never received. The Third Circuit case was an appeal from my Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Now, on Wednesday morning I made plans to go to the Hotel Brunswick and take some measurements in
the Movie Theater, which I am in the middle of a development plan. As usual, I walked into the lobby on
the street level adjacent to the parking garage and saw the eisel with the notice that the "Department of
Justice" was holding bankruptcy hearings. I was told a few years ago earlier in my Chapter 11 that they
often hold hearings in Lancaster, at the Brusnwick or at the Hotel on Manheim Pike. As soon as I saw the
sign I figured I would see if Joe Adams, my Trustee from the Philadelphia Office of the Department of
Justice Office of Trustee that handles my case, was here.
So, as I usually do, I went to the office of Kevin, the Hotel Brunswick General Manager to get the key to
the movie theater, as per our agreement with Hamid, the owner of the Hotel Brunswick. He was not in his
office, and the Desk Manager had to page him. I asked him where the Department of Justice was holding
the hearings, and told him I needed to talk to someone there, while he was trying to locate Kevin, the
General Manager. I told him I would be right back.
I went to the Presidential Room where they were holding meetings. When I arrived, the Trustee, or what
private panel trustee, was conducting a meeting with a Spanish woman, who had a young girl for a
translator. I patiently waited by the wall as you walk in until the entire interview was over. After the
private panel trustee dismissed the woman, I approached her and asked her if she was from the
Department of Justice Office of the Trustee, and she responded that she was a private panel trustee. I
simply told her that I had a problem with someone obstructing justice with my Third Circuit case and
asked her if Joe Adams was in her office. She said she was not from the Philadelphia Office. I gave her
my card and some woman kept trying to talk and interfere. I just calmly left. I went to meet Kevin, the
General Manager, he opened the movie theater and I spent approximately 1 hour taking measurements of
the existing floor plan.

There was no incident to speak of. Any incident was a lie, regardless of the person that kept interfering
with our conversation that was trying to cause problems. It was not me, you fool.
I would suggest that you provide this email to the person that told you that fabricated lie and anyone else
that you communicate with regarding your so called version of an "incident". Follow this link and you may
read why people like you lie about these incidents.
Now, you have a nice Easter Weekend. And by the way, I am a supporter of Senator Clinton and I do
volunteer my services, just in case you were wondering.

Advanced Media Group's (8) Year Investment into Downtown Lancaster,


The Lancaster Convention Center & Our UPS STORE Concept.

ADVACED MEDIA GROUPS (8) YEAR IVESTMET I DOWTOW LACASTER


This weekend at the Party that Mayor Rick Gray hosted on Friday night in the Dome, we were discussing
the needs for retail establishments in Downtown Lancaster. He had told me that the James Street
Improvement District had done a retail assessment of the current retail space and a needs analysis of
needed retail spaces that would compliment the already existing retail space. I have been investing time
and energies to the revitalization of Downtown Lancaster for the past 8 years.
I informed Rick that I have an exclusive agreement for a UPS Shipping/Copy Store in
Downtown Lancaster, and he thought it was a great fit and a great idea for Downtown
Lancaster. Advanced Media Group would also add services such as scanning, imaging, and
records management services that would attract an additional market to the concept.
I am an ardent advocate for the Downtown Lancaster Convention Center and in April of 2005 we sued the
Lancaster County Hoteliers for refusing to pay the Tourism Excise Tax. We are still continuing our efforts
for the Excelsior Place Development on East King Street.
We currently have a signed Non Disclosure Agreement with Realtor Jeff Lefevre and Caldwell Banker for
the Excelsior Place Property.
I also had authored the Development Plan for the S.N. Lombardo Development on 626 West Charllotte
Street in May of 2007.
In 2005 I had worked closely with Joe Pinto, the former General Manager for the Lancaster Barnstormers
and the Clipper Stadium; drawing on my experience working with Tony Bongiovi and Power Station
Studios in New York for our "Digital Movie". I was trying to help the Clipper Stadium locate and contract
music acts for a Summer Concert Series. I had begun talks with Sara McLachlan and hope that when
Sara
McLachlan
returns
on
tour
the
Clipper
will
be
one
of
her
concerts.
I had talks with Clair Brothers in Lititz (In 1987 Gene Clair was considering an investment into my
"Digital Movie with Tony Bongiovi) to try to help attract some acts to the Stadium. Unfortunately, when I
had met with Randy Patterson of the Redevelopment Authority, which owns the Stadium, I learned that
concerts were not a top priority for them or the Barnstormers.
Maybe that will change before next Spring. And of course, Sheryl Crow is a shareholder of Advanced
Media Group, so someday maybe she might come around. I was also trying to convince Joe Pinto of the
merits of a country concert or two, and we all know by now what Country Music means to Lancaster
County.
My family had various successful investments in Downtown Lancaster over the past 50 years. My fathers
first Dry Cleaners (Sam Caterbone Cleaners, Inc.,) was on the corner of Plum and Orange Streets before
expanding and moving to Manheim Pike in the early 1960s. My Uncle Dominic (Mickey) Roda was the
proprietor for Garvins Beauty Salon, in the former Garvins Department Store, which later moved across
the street to the Lancaster Parking Garage on East King Street. My other Uncle Benjamin Roda operated
Rodas Beauty Salon on East King Street. And I had an office for SJ Caterbone Painting and Renovating

on the corner of Walnut and Marshall Streets.

Advanced Media Groups Downtown Lancaster Revitalization


Action Plan
Advanced Media Group has been working with Downtown Lancaster developers and the James Street
Investment District to facilitate this action plan.
Project 1 Excelsior Place on East King Street
In 1998 Advanced Media Group had developed a comprehensive plan for the revitalization of the Excelsior
Place Historic Property (Sprecher Brewery) located 1 block from the proposed Downtown Lancaster
Convention Center. We had planned a unique entertainment complex comprised of a Pub, an upscale
restaurant in the lower catacomb, and a nightclub in the first floor. We had also developed and designed a
state-of-the-art video conferencing facility to compliment the Convention Center. We have joined in the
talks and discussions with principals, stakeholders, and taxing authorities concerning the present proposals
and the future of the revitalization of Downtown Lancaster and the Convention Center.
Advanced Media Group/Project Hope filed a Civil Action in the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County
against Drew Anthon and the Eden Resort Inn (Lancaster County Hoteliers) for their attempts to withhold the
Tourism Tax and Hotel Tax that supports the Downtown Lancaster Convention Center. The City of Lancaster
supported the civil action. We also proposed an alternative plan to move the Convention Center to the Hotel
Brunswick and Lancaster Square to all of the major stakeholders.

In 2007 Advanced Media Group signed a Non Disclosure Agreement with a local real estate firm to continue
the advancement of the Excelsior Place Business Plan.
Project 2 UPS/MBE Copy Store or FedEx/Kinkos Copy & Print Store
Advanced Media Group has an exclusive agreement for a UPS Shipping/Copy Store or a FedEx/Kinkos
in Downtown Lancaster. There is no such service currently serving the needs of downtown businesses and it
is a vital component for the Lancaster County Convention Center. In 1998 Advanced Media Group had
contacted Mail Box Etc., and began initial franchise due diligence. However when the Lancaster County
Convention Center was stalled, Advanced Media Group also put the project on the back burner. In 2005
Advanced Media Group negotiated for the exclusive right of first refusal to move the UPS Store at Stone Mill
Plaza to downtown Lancaster.

The UPS/MBE Franchise is ranked number 4 among all franchises and number one in the shipping-postal
store categories by Forbes.

Advanced Media Group would also add services such as scanning, imaging, and records management
services that would attract an additional market to the concept. The UPS/MBE Franchise is ranked
number 4 among all franchises and number one in the shipping-postal store categories by Forbes. Advanced
Media Group is currently studying several site locations, including storefronts at the Brunswick Hotel, and a
possible East King Street site. Advanced Media Group would like to cater to the many legal firms that
conduct business in the Lancaster County Courthouse.

In 1990 Advanced Media Group developed and copyrighted the AMG Legal Systems Prototype which was
a digital search and retrieval application designed to help legal firms deal with the complexities of organizing
and filing court cases.
Advanced Media Group has specialized in records management and has a vast knowledge base and
experience in optical publishing and records management. This service would allow firms to convert and
store records off-site in a secure location with state-of-the-art retrieval services.

Typical Desktop Publishing services and binding services would also be offered.
Project 3 Downtown Lancaster Movie Theater
A downtown Lancaster Movie Theater is vital to support the Lancaster County Convention Center and the
Downtown Lancaster Revitalization at large.
Advanced Media Group has been performing due diligence on reopening the movie theaters at the Hotel
Brunswick for the past 18 months. A recent site survey confirms that the movie theaters are in perfect
operating condition and negotiations with local business leaders are continuing. The Brunswick movie
theater has 2 screens with approximately 500 seats per screen.
Project 4 Big Box Retail in Downtown Lancaster
Advanced Media Group has been attempting to help facilitate the attraction of a big box retailer for
Downtown Lancaster. In 2006 Advanced Media Group had discussions with the owner of Bulova
Technologies regarding the development of that building to a retail store. The Advanced Media Group has
contacted the Corporate development teams of the Hard Rock Caf and Best Buy Electronics Stores.
In 2005 Advanced Media Group had talks with former Mayor Charlie Smithgall in attempts at trying to lure a
Cabelas or a Pro Shops to the site.

If all goes as planned, the difference will be dramatic. Sidewalks, lighting, benches and trash receptacles
will be standardized by then to unify the downtown streetscape. And new street trees will be planted.

City officials said Tuesday that plans to demolish portions of Lancaster Square are being finalized and
pieces of the concrete eyesore could start coming down this summer. The proposed work would occur on
the east side of the square - between the Hotel Brunswick and the Bulova building - and likely would
include demolition of the pedestrian walkway that spans North Queen Street, the stairwell and planter on
the south side of the square and the removal of the roof around the second-floor

But before Hamid Zahedi of New York begins, he wants to see more people invest in entertainment
attractions downtown, said a consultant during a press conference Tuesday on the square.
Thomas DePaul of the DePaul Group of Lancaster said he was hired by Zahedi to develop the project at the
former Eric Theater, located next to the Brunswick.

At least they are finally going to get smart and move the check in and lobby to the first floor, queen and

They've had a high visible location, and never utilized it! seems like now they will. Hopefully it will spill

This was an integral part of the late 1960s "Urban Renewal" plan. The expectation was that people would
walk INSIDE the "mall" from the parking garages to the shops.
When the current Brunswick was built, a big chunk of the first floor was taken up by an open public
walkway between Chestnut St. and Lancaster Square; this was not enclosed until many years later. Retail
stores were supposedly of a higher value than a hotel lobby, and indeed there was a bank in the
Brunswick building on N. Queen St. near Chestnut for a number of years. The "shopping mall" between
the Brunswick and the Hess Dept. Store at Queen and Chestnut was expected to be the pedestrian artery
(these "shops" still exist, being used as meeting rooms for the Brunswick). The second and third level of
the "shopping mall" included a large movie theater, later divided into two (this still exists, it is still
vacant).
Originally there were three pedestrian levels connected and surrounding Lancaster Square on all four
sides. There was also parking on the roof level, and it WOULD HAVE BEEN possible to drive from the Duke
St. garage over to the Prince St. garage at the top level! (I don't think it was ever implemented). Of
course this ended when the west side of the "concrete monstrosity" was demolished a few years after it
was completed. The Duke St. ramp to this parking level remained for many years, but was later
demolished to add a few street-level spaces next to the Duke St. parking garage. There are still lines for
parking spaces visible (from inside the Brunswick) on the roof of the movie theater above the "shopping
mall" on the east side of Lancaster Square.
The designers of this project actually expected the second level to be nearly as busy as street level. The
point is, the Brunswick was designed by "urban planners" who thought they knew better than people who
walk the streets. Of course, as we know now, what was once one of the three busiest commercial blocks in
Lancaster City is now a concrete wasteland (and yes, that DOES include Binns Park).
FYI, the Brunswick was originally designed to have two more floors than it does now. Rather than
redesigning the entire building, the top two floors were simply deleted. The structure is strong enough to
add these additional floors.

Its time for a little research. Someone needs to pull out the last set of rah-rah articles run in the LNP
when this fine establishment last went from the Hotel Brunswick to the Ramada Brunswick. I do not recall
the year but I certainly recall the content. The owner at the time was going to spend $XX million dollars
then to bring it up to par and turn it around. LNP printed everything that the owner wanted them to print
whether it made any logical sense or not. What happened, more bankruptcy, more management
companies, and more trouble? When the mortgage holder finally got tired of the never ending cycle, they
cut their losses, ate half the debt, and go that asset off of their books to the current owner. Not only did
this story run then but I am sure that it ran in simlar fashion previous to that. What do we have now,
more of the sameoutrageous claims by owners trying to make themselves look good and a newspaper
monopoly that does not even ask questions. Let me suggest a couple. How many dollars per room is
allegedly being spent? How many dollars per room is the national average for new construction of a hotel
such as the Brunswick? What is the difference? How or why could someone substantiate the current claims
for what is merely cosmetic work, no bricks or mortar? I guess it is probably too much to ask though since
LNP was not willing to ask the same questions about the CC & hotel, why would they ask or do any
research for this one?

Hamid only paid $15 thousand/room for many reasons. 37 years of failure. How sad.
from the article: The Hotel Brunswick stands on a site that has been the location of a lodging facility since
the long-gone Hofnagle Hotel opened there in 1776. The current hotel opened in 1970. It was acquired by
a partnership led by Hamid Zahedi in 2005 for $3.4 million, according to newspaper files.

I was able to confirm that the Brunswick is indeed closed, except for a few rooms on weekends. Most of
the rooms are currently gutted.

AV Specialist has launched a new regional version of the magazine covering the Islamic Republic
of Iran. The magazine uses much of the same editorial and advertising material that appears in
the Middle East edition but the Arabic content is replaced with Farsi content and an additional
section provides news and information on technologies and productions specifically relevant to
Iran. Local content is managed by Pejman Ghorbani, a young Iranian filmmaker based in Tehran.
The magazine is distributed through the Nashravaran Journalistic Institute in Tehran and is
available on subscription - as well as through newsstands and specialist retail outlets in Iran.
The indigenous film industry in the Islamic Republic of Iran is booming and home-grown
programming dominates local cinema and television, explains publisher Kevan Jones. Over the
last few years weve seen a growing interest in our magazine from readers within the Islamic
Republic of Iran and our new regional version reflects the importance of this market within the
Middle East region.
Much of the editorial content in this new version has been commissioned from local journalists
and is specifically relevant to the region. For many years Iran has been isolated by language,
culture and political intrigue, says Nima Abu-Wardeh, a well-known media professional in the
Middle East and presenter of the BBCs weekly Middle East Business Report. Despite this, the
Iranian economy is buoyant and the country is playing an increasingly important role in the
commercial activity of the Middle East. Equally important, Iran has a well-established culture of
cinema and film production thats hungry for information on the latest video technologies. AV
Specialists new Farsi-language edition is likely to provide real value to film and TV professionals
in the Republic.
The first issue features several international manufacturers of film and TV production technology
keen to expose their products in this fast-growing market. The television and pro-video markets
in Iran represent a significant portion of our revenues in the Middle East but weve often found it
difficult to communicate with our customers in the Republic, says Robin Hood from Panasonic
Broadcast in the Middle East. AV Specialists new Farsi edition provides us an opportunity to reach
our customers and address them in a manner thats uniquely relevant to them.
The Nashravaran Journalistic Institute is confident that the latest offering from AV Specialist will be
a resounding success in the Iranian market. AV Specialist is the first and only broadcast and
pro-AV magazine to be distributed in the Islamic Republic of Iran, says Hamid Zahedi, managing
director of the Institute. It provides information thats just not available through any other
source and the fact that the magazine includes Persian content makes it uniquely relevant to our
market.
For US companies, trade with Iran is still off-limits but a powerful anti-sanctions lobby has
emerged in the US and the publishers are hopeful that the US trade embargo will soon be
relaxed. The US Dept. of Treasury does not prohibit the export of publications or informational
material to Iran, explains Kevan Jones, and even though the trade embargo remains in place,
the Iranian market presents an interesting opportunity for US manufacturers who see free trade
as the inevitable outcome of US foreign policy.
The first copies of the new Farsi-language version appeared in June 2005 but the publishers are
planning a major launch to coincide with the Tehran Short Film Festival taking place from 15-20
November.

INTRODUCTION
Tony Bongiovi and Power Station Studio are undertaking a project
that has the potential of revolutionizing the entertainment industry.
In the next few pages of this proposal, I will outline the elements
involved and how Sony can participate in this landmark event.
The technology of the recording industry has been advancing by
leaps and bounds. We have seen the advances from monaural
long playing record to stereo record to compact disc. Now we are
seeing tape systems that use digital rather than analog signals
appear, matching the quality of compact discs. What has
happened to the theatre's? The audio portion of a film, is as
responsible for the sensations one experiences at a motion picture
as the visual, yet many theatre's are still equipped only for mono
sound. Why is this? We feel there are two basic reasons.
1>

The relative high cost of upgrading a theatre to be able to


incorporate the advanced technologies of the audio
industry.

2> The lack of proper equipment for the film industry to


produce high quality digital audio tracks.
These two problems should not be addressed separately. There
is little motivation for upgrading until the product is available and
even less motivation to produce a product that can not be heard.
Tony Bongiovi and Ed Evans at Power Station in New York, have
now made it possible to address these problems simultaneously.
Their creation of the new "Power Station Digital Movie Sound"
(PSDMS), will not only enable the film industry to produce the
highest quality audio tracks for film, but will also allow theatre's to
upgrade their existing sound system at a minimal cost.
To introduce this revolutionary new sound, Bongiovi is in the
process of producing a film entitled "Mutant Mania", which is a
science fiction action horror film, shot in a small ocean resort town
in New Jersey. This film has many elements that make it perfect
for the introduction of PSDMS. The most prevalent of these being

ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP

Page 6 of 76

05.03.2007

Advanced Media Group

Page 73 of 142

Thursday, November 5, 2015

the heavy music score by Bongiovi's latest band "French Lick".


Producing bands is definitely one of Bongiovi's fortes. Bongiovi
was instrumental in creating "Bon Jovi" who is probably the
strongest force in the rock and roll circuit today. "Bon Jovi's" third
album "Slippery When Wet", has sold more copies in a short
period of time than any other band in history.
Another is the fact that this is a horror film. The use of audio in
horror films is important to create tension, fear, excitement etc..
Using a horror film also lessens the influence the critics have on
the audience.
By the large this film will stand on it's own merits. Now add
PSDMS, and you have a potential block buster event.
How does Sony fit into all of this?

SONY'S ROLE
What we are seeking to do, is establish a distribution route in
which the message of Sony's new technology and its benefits can
be more easily and directly passed on to the consumer.

Picture a one or two minute commentary at the beginning of the


movie and home video, demonstrating the difference between the
quality of theatrical sound now and the new SONY/PSDMS sound.
This does two things. First, by demonstrating the difference in
quality of the new sound, you reinforce in the audiences mind that
it is much better, which as you will hear, there is little doubt.
Secondly it reinforces in the audience that Sony truly is a pioneer
of advanced innovative technologies.
In addition to the commentary, Sony will receive credits on the film,
ie. SONY/PSDMS. We will include in the copyright agreement that
Sony equipment must be used to be SONY/PSDMS.

ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP

Thursday, November 5, 2015

Sony's name will also be strategically placed throughout the film.


This may be done in the form of billboards, advertisements, or
Sony equipment being utilized.
A commercial may be developed for n/ promoting both the film
and Sony's contributions to advanced audio techniques in the film
industry. This could be done as a joint venture between Sony and
the distribution company for the theatrical and video exhibition.
Inside every video tape that is sold, a coupon may be placed to
promote Sony products.
A full line of quality equipment may be SONY/POWER STATION
labeled for consumer use to enhance marketability of Sony
entertainment products.
Sony Video Software Corporation will receive right of first refusal
on all contracts for video and theatrical distribution. We will allow
Sony a preferred 5% margin under any other distributor for a
competitive edge.

TIMING
Timing is crucial in a project that touch so many different
areas.

MARKETING1DISTRIBUTION
Most of the industry by their own admission is at least two years
away from an effort to upgrade the sound in movie theatres. With
the SONY/PSDMS system, other companies may adapt easily and
economically to produce products with digital movie sound. With
companies adapting to this process, the future should see the
prominence of the SONY/PSDMS insignia much the same as you
see the Dolby insignia today. This will act as a constant reminder

ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP

Page 8 of 76

05.03.2007

Advanced Media Group

Page 75 of 142

Thursday, November 5, 2015

to the public that Sony truly is a pioneer of advanced audio visual


technologies.
Sony will receive exposure in the professional market place by
having the SONY/POWER STATION equipment used in theatres
and studios to produce the SONY/PSDMS sound.
The video industry is a 56 billion dollar industry that is in need of
product. When you look at the potential for a product that will be
one of the first feature films to compliment the fast paced
VCR/Stereo Entertainment components, with a musical score that
may have enough merits of its own, you have an amazing potential
for distribution.
The Digital and Disc Industry has proven to be the future standard
for recording and playing. Because of the relative newness of the
digital format, there are more people who have yet to experience
the digital sound. With the high exposure that will come from this
project, this could be the first time ever people hear digital. How
many people? 1 - 10 - 50 - 100 million?
What will be their first reaction? I need to buv a Disc Plaver!
Who's name will they think of first? SONYIPSDMS!

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Bongiovi and Evans at Power Station have developed a
revolutionary hybrid mixing console to penetrate the video post
production market. This console was developed to enable
engineers to produce high quality audio tracks for the film industry
as well as the recording industry. This new console utilizes an
automation system that can be used by both industries. This new
console is especially atractive to the film industry, as it will greatly
reduce production costs since mixing costs in a recording studio
are much less. At present the console that is being used is a
bastardized system that utilizes components from many different
pieces of equipment, from a number of different companies, of

ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP

Page 9 of 76

05.03.2007

Advanced Media Group

Page 76 of 142

Thursday, November 5, 2015

which Sony is one. Because we already have a working model of


this console, it would take very little time for a finished product to
be manufactured that could carry the SONY name.
The other piece of equipment that is essential to the PSDMS
process, is the box that enables the laser disc to automatically
read the synchronization track encoded on the film. This piece of
equipment can be produced at an extremely low cost. It is this
low cost and the fact that the theatres will not have to replace their
present projectors that make digital movie sound a reality in 1988.
We feel that with consumers demanding the same quality audio at
theatres, as they have become accustomed to with their home
entertainment systems, theatre owners will have little problem
investing the nominal amount of dollars involved, to upgrade their
theatres for digital audio. This investment could be as low as
$1000. With the cost being so low, the distribution company may
want to consider bearing the burden of this cost, if the theatre
owners agree to show Bongiovi's next three films.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
SONY will commit four million dollars for the production of
Bongiovi's film to be released in 1988.
We would like SONY to commit fifteen million for three to four
future products that will follow the same format as the first, so that
Bongiovi and SONY will position themselves as the pioneer and
leaders in the industry. This will not allow competition to gain
access to the marketplace until we are all firmly situated and
profitable.
Sony will only pay for expenses to produce 60 second spots.
Tony and Power Station will utilize any and all services to help
produce the spot and will allow reimbursement for only true costs
with no mark up including all of Tony's time which will be free.

Power Station and Power Productions I will receive a negotiated


percentage from all revenues generated from the merchandizing
campaign of the SONY/POWER STATION products and the sale
that may result to other film studios utilizing Sony/POWER
STATION equipment in the PSDMS System.
We will receive four deluxe entertainment systems - Television,
VCR, Stereo, Etc. that is top of the line to help during the
production of the film.
The purpose of the above and all aspects of this Proposal is to let
the separate entities involved maximize their profits for their
respective talents; Bongiovi in film and music production and Sony
in manufacturing and distribution of equipment and merchandise
and later video and film distribution.

Recently, though, Sony

compete in export markets. Protectionist
sentiment is growing in the U. S. and

back like never before. Far East competitors, such as Taiwan and South Korea,
are exploiting their lower costs, and
U. S. and European companies are
achieving efficiency gains and improvements in quality.
The high yen--endaka in Japaneseis slamming the nation's exporters two
ways. Foreign competitors with costs d e
nominated in dollars or French francs
have more room to undercut Japanese
companies on prices, and a dollar's
worth of sales is worth less in yen. Measured in dollars, Sony's U. S. sales rose
24% last year. Measured in yen, they
were down 11%. "The falling dollar has
produced a nearly 50% tax on us," complains Morita.
Overall, the numbers tell a disappointing story. Worldwide sales slipped ?%, to
$82 billion, in the fiscal year that ended
last October, while earnings from operations fell a stunning 75%. Earnings declined another 56% for the five months
ended in March from a year earlier.
Archrival Matsushita Electric Industrial
Co., by contrast, endured a more manageable 44% drop in operating earnings
last year.
For Sony, endaka is like a drought
that follows a plague of locusts. The
challenges facing Morita and his handpicked president, former opera singer
Norio Ohga, have become even more
daunting than they already were.

makes miso, a fermented soybean

business provided a comfortable life
for his son Akio and three other children in Nagoya, an industrial city 224

As the eldest son, Akio was expected
to take over Morita & Co. Instead, after World War 11, Morita, then 25,

in April rejected a oneyear ban on the

are likely to accomplish the same objective by other means. Congress is dawdling over legislation to require that the

consultant. After rebuffing several entreaties by Morita to forsake his opera
career for a full-time position at Sony,

a 23-year apprenticeship that included

ow THE STUMP. Ohga's growing authority allows Morita more freedom for the
ambassadorial role he loves so much. He
spends about a third of his time a t Sony
these days. The rest is devoted to trips
overseas for such things as speechmaking or promoting his book, Made in Japan, and to his ceremonial functions in
Japan. Last year he became a vice-chairman of Keidanren, the Japacese federation of economic organizations.
For all his outside activities, Morita
still makes sure he gets involved in the
crucial decisions a t Sony. When it came
time to price the portable compact disk
player, for example, Morita decreed that
it be priced a t less than 50,000 yen,
about $200 a t the time. Even though the
player cost more than that to make then,
Morita correctly anticipated that the low
price eventually would generate enough
sales to provide the volume production
that would trigger economies of scale-and profits. The episode shows how
Sony is now pursuing market share
more diligently. I t is also an example of
how Sony is responding to its experience
with Betamax, the world's first home
videorecorder. This high-profile product
laid bare the company's strengths and
its weaknesses.
As conceived, Betamax was a classiciflustration of Sony's founding philosophy of looking for new markets where
bigger, wellestablished companies were
not a threat. The company correctly
foresaw the immense latent demand for
a machine that could make and play
back home videotapes. But then it ceded
the market to others by refusing to yield
when the VHS format, -first developed by
Victor Co. of Japan, provided longer r e
cording times and gradually became the
industry standard. Sony still insists that
its Beta recorders provide a superior picture. But a shrinking number of customers-currently about 5% of all buyersare buying Beta.
MlDuFe CRISIS? Some analysts think Betamax goes a long way toward explaining the new directions a t Sony. "The
Beta experience was so searing, so
threatening, that it forced a major revision in the way the company positions
itself," says James C. Abegglen, a Tokyo-based management consultant. One
example: Sony has relaxed its tradition
of sticking to the expensive, high-profit
end of the market by coming out with a

The efforts in the U. S. and around
the world are producing some pieces of
Sony's vision of the future. Sony was

Such a move would send a strong signal that Sony has reached a new, more
mature phase of development after riding the crest of Japan's postwar economic miracle. In essence, Sony's tradition of
searching for gaps is another way of
seeking market niches-a classic approach for young companies. To keep
growing, bigger companies must also
learn to defend their existing markets
while broadening their product line.
Mastering new skills is never easy. But

Sony was able to raise prices only about
15% in the U. S.
Moving plants overseas is only the
first step. The more difficult task will be
to integrate planning and research and
design internationally, too. But if an international staff is any measure, Sony is
well along in the integration process. Of
7,000 employees in the U. S., for example, only 150 are Japanese. Sony, virtually alone among Japanese companies, has
stuck to a policy of giving the top job in
its foreign operations to a local national.

makes TV sets in Bridgend, Wales, as

disks in Terre Haute, Ind., and in Salzburg, Austria. All told, 20% of Sony's
manufacturing is overseas. It aims to
increase that to 35% by 1990. Such globalization will help Sony earn its revenues
and pay its bills in the same currency,

are how to deal with copycat

rise to the challenge. Its experience
with the Walkman is proof of that
After Walkman's debut in July, 1979,
Sony was not about to bask in the new
product's almost instant success. Within months, Sony audio engineer Kozo
Ohsone was heading a team trying to
come up with a better Walkman. Ohsone carved a block of wood that was
25% smaller than the okiginal design
and gave it to his engineers as a model.
The engineers grumbled, but they
buckled down. By February, 1981,
Sony was shipping thousands of Walkmans that were smaller, sounded betr

souped-up $449.95 version that boasts

well as plays.
Sony has used its image as a technology leader to gain a hammerlock on
the lucrative premium end of the market. Walkman is the only portable ste

And despite the soaring yen, Walkman

strategy to move more production

squeezed profits, Sony says it still
made money on the $432 million worth
of Waikmans it sold last year. One reason: a decision four years ago to create

production costs partly by integrating
the playing mechanism onto the printi
ed circuit board. The basic $32 Walkman has become Sony's bestiselling
model in the U. S.
Analysts think Walkman's go-go
gears are coming to an end. But Sony
disagrees. "Of the 4 billion people in
the world, we estimate we could reach
600 million," says Ohsone. That may be
an overstatement But then, as long as
Sony keeps gripding out new versions,
there seems to be no shortage of people eager to tune in.

SOUND

Sony continues to dominate the $1.3


billion buslness with a 30% share of
personal tape players sold worldwide.
The reason: "It has been more inventive than the others," says stock analyst Alan BeU of Salomon Brothers
Asia Ltd. Walkman firsts include
Dolby noise reduction in 1982 and a
rechargeable battery in 1986.
Sony's inventiveness shows in more
than technology. To keep Walkman
fresh and to make it appealing to more
customers, Sony churns out new models to suit virtually every taste and
wallet. So far it has introduced about

SOPHISTICATED FILM TECHNOLOGIES
AND FUTURISTIC FORMATS ARE REDEFINING
THE NATURE OF COHTEMPORARY MOVIE THEATERS.

n a world that at times seems defined


by incompatibility, there is one interest which most of us have in common a passion for the movies. And this love
of the cinematic fantasy world shows no
signs of dissipating. Different trends
may appear, such as the VCR explosion,
but upon examining the world of contemporary cinema, one fact becomes
readily apparent - the movies are not
going away. Neither, according to industry leaders, are those esteemed hideouts
of escapism - the theaters.
Though movie theaters are here to
stay, there is a great deal of debate currently going on inside the showcase, or
exhibition end, of the film world. Some
of it concerns topics such as changing
image, and a considerable amount of the
debate relates directly to technology.
The path of events that set the stage for
this situation contains a number of key
elements.
Beginning in the early 1970s. the
movie-theater industry in the U.S.
slowly slipped into what may be called a
technical rut. There were tremendous advances in home-audio technology, but
the exhibition business did not really
keep up.
There was also a trend toward "multiplex" cinema facilities - not an inherently weak mpketing idea - but their
early manifestation didn't prove tenibly
successful. The first multicinemas were
cramped, had very small screens, and
ambient sound many times bled over
from next door.
In the spring of 1977, George Lucas
produced a film that would have a revolutionary. impact on the exhibition industry. It was released to theaters carefully
picked for certain technical standards.
Besides the well-known special effects
and cinematography, Star Wars boasted
a soundtrack in Dolbya stereo. It was
played over an advanced audio system
filled with new designs, including a
"subwoofer" that
-

Page 89 of 142

The film also brought fresh attention


to the large-frame 70mm format. This
expensive but vastly superior process
had been used in earlier landmark
movies (Lawrence of Arabia, Patron)
but had fallen out of favor in Hollywood.
With a new audio standard established
by the Lucas blockbuster, the cinema industry moved into the 1980s - and a
whole, new set of business realities,

coupled with a feverishly expanding


foreground of technological develop
ments.
Clearly, the industry had to adapt and
change. The situation was brought to a
head by the growth of home video, but
that trend was only a part of the whole
arena. Faced with this challenge, the theater industry began what is now a recognizable set of changes to "remainstream"
itself. (The latest studies, incidentally,
show a kind of reverse effect from the
home-movie phenomenon; it's actually
sending patrons back to theaters, seeking
favorite titles in full-blown film environments.)

Douglas Tnrmbull, opposite, Showscan@,

creasing industry headaches such as
"comet-tailing" and blurring.
The 35mm filrn format has also been
the industry standard for decades.
Numerous industry leaders are quick to
point out its obvious obsolescence. The
70mm filrn size, they note, offers much
more than a 100-percent improvement
in cinematographic possibilities. "Most
people, including large film manufacturers, do not really understand how much
detailed information can be put on 70mm
film," asserts Optical Radiation's Berggren, "and shown back on the screen."
A central point. in an overall sense,
that brings these debates into focus is that
there is an already-existing arsenal of
nevlt cinema systems. Each camp points
inarguably to the future, and each system
is now offering spectacular new cinematic exrxriences.
s o h e of the new formats first debuted
in what the industry calls "specialvenue" theaters - noncommercial, museum, and other educational halls. Currently the granddaddy of these is the

The heart of the IMAX system is a
nique projection approach; the large-

Page 93 of 142
format images are projected through a
fish-eye lens onto a 76-foot dome, which
washes the screen with an enormous picture. The screen is tilted toward the audience at a 30-degree angle, which creates
a stunning wraparound effect.
Showscan@ is another radically new
film system with breathtaking sensory
experiences. Developed by special-effects wizard Douglas Trumbull (Srar
Wars, Star Trek; director of Silent Running and Brainstorm) Showscan has
amazed audiences at Expos '85 and '86;
the Vancouver theater in Canada remained open after the fair, and 50,000
people saw the Showscan presentation in
January of this year. The corporation is
currently opening special-venue theaters
in Los Angeles and several other cities in
the U. S., Australia, and New Zealand.
Showscan utilizes 70mm film, a very
large screen. an extremely fast film
s g e d at 60 fbs, and digital sound. While
developing the process, Tmmbull ran
extensive tests at various film speeds,
utilizing participants at California universities. For several years in the 1970s,
Tmmbull was also head of Future General, an experimental department at
Paramount Studios.

Atlanta's independent filmmaker,


VanDerKloot Film and Television,
extensively utilizes computers and
high-grade video in current
production work.

Even though Showscan is currently


confined to special-venue theaters, the
corporation clearly has plans to move
into the box-office market. "We don't
have an announcement yet, but we're
very close," says marketing director
Cindy Porter. "We're confident that

major theater chain (his system is now


being showcased at Loews Tower East,
a prestigious Manhattan screening
room). At presstime, Knutsen was preparing to announce an agreement with a
second major chain.
Besides its audiolvisual sorcery, one
of FuturVision's big selling points to
first-run theaters is comparative ease of
compatibility and cost-effectiveness.
Working with Optical Radiation Corp.,
Knutsen has developed his system so that
it can be integrated into existing theater
hardware - and still offer the dazzling
filmic experiences that all aggressive
chains are now scrutinizing.
One aspect of FuturVision is digital

+stillin the future). With this
daudio is taken from the
film and fed to a Knutsendesigned processor, which then sends audio signals to
an upgraded house system.
"Now," Knutsen says, "the projectionist can walk into the booth and
flip two switches. One automatically
changes screen brightness from low level
to a much higher level for our film, and
at the same time changes film speed from

until recently, the film-production
community and the exhibitorltheater
equipment industries have viewed each
other as barely tolerable neighbors,
forced to get along, but with little meaningful dialogue between the two camps.
Now, though, in the face of this starburst
of new technology, the two industries are
working together, insiders point out, to
achieve the common goal of a truly
realistic cinematic experience, and the
subsequent fiscal rewards.
Bill VanDerKloot, owner of VanDerKloot Film and Television in Atlanta,
one of the premier independent filmmakers in the south, has a keen eye on these
and other developments. His firm extensively utilizes computers and high-grade
video in current production work.
"Today," he points out, "stereo soundtracks are mandatory, even for lowbudget films, not the case just ten years
ago. People have become very sophisticated in their technical tastes for film.
"I am just incredibly excited about
what the future has to offer," VanDerKloot concludes. "The more like reality
we can make the dreams that we create
on film, the more fascinating and fantastic films will be."

O v e r the last few years, w e have h e n seeing a trend for movies t o have a
much heavier music score than in the past. The feelings that can be
invoked in an audience from audio are sometimes as great o r greater than
the visual aspects of a film. W i t h Bongiovi's experience and past track
record, w e are assured of having one of the best quality sound tracks t o a
movie ever M e . 'Ibis production could very well revolutionize t h e movie
inctustry i n t h a t this will be the first time that the sound track w i l l be
t o t a l l y digitized fram the set to the theatre o r home video. What this
means is that t h e quality of the sound, which is typically extremely poor
in a m v i e theatre o r hone video cassette, w i l l now be tremendously
crisp. T h i s new m i e sourd will be similar t o the quality you would
aqect froan a laser disc. Normally the costs involved t o produce a m i e
wit31 this type of s a n d track would greatly increase the budget to a point
where the project would have an increased element of risk. With Power
Station, w h i c h W d y has in place state of the art equipnmt, some of
w h i c h can be found in only one o r two other studios in the world, this
sourrd track can be produced f o r a fraction of the costs that another
produckion ccanpany would have to pay. l h i s greatly reduces the r i s k t o
the investor to be able t o prcduce state of the art audio at a fraction of
the costs.

It is a very natural progression f o r a recording studio such as mer


Station to evolve into an e n t e r b b m m t cmplex w h i c h includes the
production of films. Pcrwer Station currently has financing in place f o r a
$ 3.5 million video mix studio t o be fsuilt next t o the recon3i.q studio.
D i s - t r i l p t i o n companies are constantly looking for new sources of product
to market. With Bongiovils track record in the entertairrment industry,
any p&ct
that mies t h e Bongiovi label should create a bidding
silxntion w i t h t h e distributors.
Advanced plblic relations w o r k is currently being done t o set the s t a g e
for negotiations with t h e distribution campanies. l l B i l l h a r d l t , 'VarieWt1,
and "Box Officetqhave W d y agreed t o do a r t i c l e s on Bongiovi and t h e
nmvie. On April 30, ABC w i l l be airing a radio talk show w i t h Boriyiari
that w i l l air on 2300 stations to a total listening audience of over six

The home video market has rapidly been changing the potential mwie
profits for the industry. A Nighbare On Elm Street w a s made for w e l l
under two million dollars and has earned New Line Cinema more than $24
million a t the domestic box office. I n addition, a f t e r a short video
release, this production has sold over 3 million cassettes. In the past
videos w e r e sold only t o video'rental stores for approximately $70
apiece. Recently the price has been lmered t o expand the market t o the
general public. The video rental stores won't disappear, but they may
became more like record stores that also rent their albums. A l l of this
translates into more profit potential for prcducer and investor.
It is an extremely rare opportunity t o be able to get in on the ground
floor in an offshoot of an already well established entertainment
company. Any investor willing to back this project w i l l have f i r s t right
of refusal on any future projects. ?he pe.rcentages w i l l remain the same
for a t least the first two projects.

Independently prduced motion pictures are a better investment today

than ever before.

1) Increased Markets: There is much wider distribution of motion


pictures today than ever before (i.e. Pay Tv, Cable TV,
videoassettes, satellite tmnsmissions, etc. )

'Presale' contracts which bind the buyers (i.e. networks, pay Tv,
foreign distributors, etc.) t o specific payments a t a future date,
this insuring return of capital and, in sane cases, a p r o f i t before
t h e film is released.
2.

Investment structure:
The producer and investor form a limited partnership for the purposes

of prottucing one or more motion pictures. The investor receives 100%


of the net p r o f i t s until remupent, after w h i c h the s p l i t is 50-50.
Profit participation of o ~ e s s(actors, director, writer, etc. ) canes
out of t h e p&cerls
end.

The pq3uce.r secures t h e services of a director, principal actors,

and a w r i t e r .
Presale Deals:
The producer can negotiate presale (preproduction) arrangements with
distributors, networks, pay TV, merchandisers, etc. Whereas such
ar~angementscan minimize the downside risk, they can also inhibit

the eventual profitability of the film.


Risk Factors:

It is very difficult to determine exactly how much of a r i s k one runs


in financing a theatrical film. Adequate s t a t i s t i c s are hpssible
t o find. Shannat Services of Los Angeles a four-year-old study w h i c h
revealed that 60% of all f
b released make money. This study,
however, did not include long range TV syndication (foreign and

domestic) revenues, and w a s made before Pay TV and video cassettes

Another r i s k is the possibility that no distributor w i l l want t o


release the picture. That is why some independent producers include
a provision for distribution financing in their investment
agreemmts. I f worse comes t o worst, producers can distribute t h e
film themselves. (Notable examples are ''Billy Jacktt and ttBenjit'.)
There may be production catastrophes that w i l l delay o r cancel
Producers w i l l carry various forms
pmduction o n e it is under

of insuranoe (including completion bonds) t o a t least repay whatever


funds have already been spent.

If a distribution amaqement has not already been made, the producer

now secures such an arrangement. I f the picture is goad, it is


possible to negotiate a much better deal than could have been done
earlier. On the other hand, the producer could have truuble securing
the kind of distribution commitment wanted. The main factors here
are hcw much money the distributor is willing to c o m m i t to s e l l i n g
the picture, h m much influence the producer can have on the
m r l e t i q ~ m p a i g n ,and the distribution fee. Sanetimes smll
distributors are able t o give more time and attention t o indeperdent
pictures and offer better terms, but the producer may have to provi.de
same - W o n
expexes.
of gmss domestic box office receipts, the exhibitor (retailer)
usually subtracts his fixed costs and then receives 10%. Cut of t h e
ranainjng 90% gmss film rentals received by the distributor
(wholesaler), he usually recoups all or part of his costs plus a
distribution fee of 20-35%, then passes the rest on t o the
producer/hwestor. Terms of distribution deals vary considerably.

Cut

Ebx office reoeipts, however, only account for a part of the


producer/investorls revenues. A s the enclosed figures show, t h e
ancillary markets are a t least as significant as the daoestic theatre
box office. T V syndication, for instance, can continue t o bring in
revenues f o r the next twenty years.
Demand for P r d ~ c t :

TWayts supply comes nowhere near to mtching real demand. A t the


present time, there are over 18,000 theatres i n the United S t a t e s .
It can readily be seen t h a t roughly 400 films produced and rated l a s t
year did not w i n t o m e e t t h e i r needs. Theatres are canpelled t o
show any type of film they can obtain to keep t h e i r doors open.

To date, independent producers are responsible for 72% of a l l films


mde world-wide. The domestic figure is 62%. The independent

producer has three primary options -r

distribution. These
include the sale of the film outright to a major national
distributor, t h e i r merchandising of the film by the production
who
company i t s e l f , o r the use of smaller regional sub-distsibuto~~
m y promote the film in their respective geographical areas.
Distribution of films often relies on a l l three methods t o one degree
or another.
Another market, television, can consume nearly every film that has
been, o r is presently being produced. If each of the three networks
would show only one film per night, they would need over 1,000 f i l m s
per year. In ks Angeles area alone, there are nearly 10,000 f i l n ~ ~
aired each year in a ambination of local and network viewing time.
Many f i l m s are shown time and time again because there are no new
fibs to replace them.
Today, virtually every film of quality has residual value in
television, either by outright sale o r by t e n n licensing. Tke latter
is preferable since it a l l = the production company to retain
' p of the negative. The t i m e lag between theatre release and
~hasdimini~edfromsev~yearstoanaverageof18mnths.
Hwever, scnne major features such as ffTheWizft have been sold to TV
before completing a full year in theatrical release. The trend seems
to be toward prchase of 'freshf films, and the outlets appear
willing to pay the higher costs involved
I

Because of the great demand and the outrageously ccanpetitive a t t i t u d e


that pemades the networks, handsame deals are being consummated
before the production has been q l e t e d and then, by p-ement
w i t h the producers, hold the film u n t i l it has completed its

theatrical run.

by Alan Talansky

here's esplosive growth occurring in the motion picture industry, and growth should always be
music to any investor's ears. "But
movies?" YOU say? It's time to put
aside your images of Tinschonrn and
"Heaven's Gate," and to take another
look at an industry with some new,
sound investment potential.
There's risk in any investment, of
course, even in real estate - the investment area on which many firms
originally buiit their reputation and
success. In real estate, it's a matter of
how carefully you assess a variery of
influential factors and how you structure the deal. Motion pictures are

The key here is understsnding how
nluch the industry has chsnged. The
tyranny and fickleness of box-office
receipts is no longer. More people
around the world are viewing more
films than ever before, but not necessarily in the theatres. Consider, for
example, that there are only about 300
feature films made every year, of
which about half could be considered

number of movies a cable outlet, like

Mr.

Dear Stan:
At your request I've investigated the requirements of the Completion Bond.
Bert Schneiderman of Worldwide Completion Services in New York
has given me a figure of 5+%, excluding contingencies, with a
50% No Claims Bonus. Since Bert also owns BonBon Payroll Service
he has agreed to waive the payroll fee if we use their bonding
service,
Requirements: They need copies of the budget and/or production
board, resumes for the director and producers as well as copies
of their contracts and any other production agreements which
have been completed.
Further they need to know when we will commence principal photography, editing location and if we intend to have a distribution
deal up front.

I spoke to Jerry Vandersonde and Bill Hudson of DeWitt Stern Insurance in Los Angeles, who were recommended by Worldwide. Since
I couldn't show him a budget or a script we did some educated
guessing and came up with a figure of approximately $75,000. The
Production Package policy should include: General liability, cast
insurance, negative film, faulty stock and camera processing,
props, sets, wardrobe, rented equipment, extra expenses, third
party property damage, non-owned auto, Errors and Ommissions
including a one year bond and a minimum workmen's comp policy
for anything that is not covered by workmen's comp.

I understand you're going to Wildwood this weekend. We need to


house a crew of about 60-80, production offices, catering service.
We'd like to get as many free extras as possible and need high
quality promo type giveaways. For screen credit, of course. If
you have any such contact we'll need mutant dolls (500?) and if
you can h ~ l pbrinq dow? lor~'<cn costs that would be great. I'm
tzikrng about beaches, aricsezents, the pier, parking facilities.

In order to s t i l l g e t the film made this season we've got to speed everythug
W e originally planned four weeks of pre-production in New York lxlt that's
rn longer possible. If we start June 28 we've got only ten weeks to g e t t h e
mutant effects going a d then w e ' l l have to schedule mutant scenes later in

up.

the film i f they aren' t ready.


This schedule also takes us to October 31 f o r the end of the shoot, which means
we've got to schedule exteriors f i r s t , leaving the i n t e r i o r s f o r later in the
w e n t of bad weather.
S i x e we're on such a t i g h t schedule I can't r e a l l y break down the costs f o r
you because it w i l l a l l start h a p p n h g so quickly. W e ' l l imnediately have a
New York office, per dim, btel and coneacted fees f o r Barbara and myself.
W e ' ll h i r e a casting director, production manager, p r d u c t i o n coordinator ard
location manager, g e t the mutant e f f e c t s started a d begin hiring key personnel.
I f p check the m e t you'll see the actual number of weeks of employrent
f o r new. There w i l l be legal fees f o r pcepariq contracts. Wing those tm
weeks we' ll hopefully do mst of the casting.
