Content Production and Distribution
Front Row Networks Inc. is a content creation company that has assembled a team from top creative and business professionals with a common goal of producing and acquiring live 3D concert productions which can be broadcast digitally directly into theaters across the world.
Company Overview
The Company produces live concerts by top recording artists in 3D for initial digital broadcast into movie theaters in the United States, with a wider rollout anticipated in Western Europe, South America and Asia, after a successful US theatrical run. Following the initial theatrical run, the 3D concerts will be licensed to TV broadcasters and DVD retailers. In addition, Management intends to sell merchandising and sponsorship, specific to each artist in the concert, in theaters where the live concert will be exhibited. This new concept is intended to present the live concerts in 3D to a massive fan base worldwide in a cost efficient manner.
Content Acquisition
Front Row Networks will leverage its distribution networks and its licensing and merchandising relationships by acquiring 2D and 3D concert footage that has already been produced. The Company will convert its 2D catalogue into digital 3D format, allowing it to package and sell all of its acquired content to digital broadcasters worldwide.
The Market
The current worldwide phenomenon surrounding 3D motion pictures creates a great opportunity to Front Row Networks. From all corners of the globe, the appeal of 3D is undeniable. Statistics show that it is clear in a very short period of time 3D films have become the top grossing films. Until 2008, the US revenue from films that were offered in 3D never accounted for more than 3% of all films. In 2009, they represented 16.3%, and in 2010, 31.4%. They out-gross their 2D counterparts by a minimum 3:1 ratio. In addition, there were over 15,300 digital 3D screens worldwide at the end of 2010, compared with 8,989 3D screens at the end of 2009. The number of 3D screens worldwide almost doubled last year.
Management believes that audiences will be attracted to the new 3D technology and expects its broadcast of the initial concert to be one of the first of its kind in North America. The current success of Hollywood 3D films and the continuing success of large scale concerts suggest a large international market for the Project.
