Public Media Works, Inc. (OTCBB: PUBM.OB) is a publicly traded company that operates within the diversified entertainment sector. The company combines the golden age of film with the new age of the web by focusing their efforts on the ability to identify newly or already existing untapped resources of talent and content, and then bringing these elements together to create professional entertainment products.
Public Media Works looks for raw content in the form of film concepts, trailers, scripts, treatments, music, and book proposals, which they will either acquire or license for further development and distribution as finished products to be sold to specifically targeted, fan-based audiences. The advantage of targeting certain groups of consumers allows the company to streamline the process costs of development, production, marketing and distribution to revitalize the revenue potential for each project.
The company has formed a new operating subsidiary, Public Web Works, to house their forthcoming interactive, web-based, entertainment content submission, collaboration, and production business. The new subsidiary will enable Public Media Works to continue to work on scoping out new talent and working professional film makers, producers, musicians, writers, and authors. Displayed on their website will be content that has been submitted from aspiring professionals. Through a series of escalating challenges, the best work will be featured on the top of the page and will be selected for review by a panel of professionals pertaining to that specific genre. When all the challenges have been completed, the company will select a distinguished few participants and they may meet with the panels, sign commercial contracts, or possibly work with the panel members that selected them.
“The company is making a transformation from being strictly a film and television production company into a unique entertainment property with both traditional media and web based components,” stated Al Hayes, CEO and director of Public Media Works. “The concept is to provide a vehicle for the worldwide submission of content in the form of film trailers, film and television scripts and treatments, songs and music, and short story and book proposals for initial screening by peer review. The highest rated content would be further reviewed by panels of professional advisors each of whom will be renowned in their field. The business model will allow untapped talent to gain global exposure and the very real possibility of landing commercial contracts to exploit their creative works. We envision a cross between an on-line ‘American Idol’ and the ‘golden age’ of the studio where content is developed, produced and distributed through a single set of interrelated business entities.”
