RWMI Implements 2-Pronged Distribution Strategy to Participate in Lucrative Entertainment Industry
The U.S. media and entertainment industry encompasses an array of offerings and is comprised of businesses that produce and distribute motion pictures, television programs and commercials, music and audio recordings, radio, games, and publishing. With a particular focus on motion pictures, the U.S. Box Office gross revenue topped $10.5 billion in 2012, according to BoxOffice.com. Counting all revenue streams, the amount spent annually worldwide on filmed entertainment is more than $60 billion.
Outside the big names of Hollywood is RegalWorks Media, a multimedia entertainment company involved in film production, distribution, film fund formation and management, as well as media technology services. The company is consistently advancing its position in the entertainment industry, utilizing a highly experienced management team and establishing a multi-pronged distribution strategy.
Simply put, distribution is the process by which a movie or television series is made available for an audience to watch. In North America, most theatrical movies are delivered to theaters (exhibitors) through a film distributor. The vast majority are distributed by major studios (Universal, Warner Bros., Fox, Paramount, Sony, Disney) or mini-majors with libraries (MGM/UA, Lionsgate, and Film District).
Following a theatrical debut, or “window,” a movie is distributed to audiences through various other forms, including online distributors like Netflix, iTunes, Amazon.com and others, in addition to established formats like DVDs, Pay Per View (PPV), pay cable, broadcast television, and basic cable. RegalWorks’ plan is to use existing distributors to access all of the revenue streams associated with these various North American “windows” as well as carefully managing the marketing and accounting for each.
Internationally, the distribution of filmed entertainment has emerged as a major business, and is one of the most important areas of North American export into the world market. In all major territories, existing distribution companies acquire film and television distribution rights and bring these titles to exhibitors. Sales, which are the leasing or rights for a set term, are usually achieved at major film markets and generally include an advance payment or a minimum guaranteed payment, as well as a split of subsequent revenue. RegalWorks’ strategy is to form its own international film sales division and make sales directly to selected international film distributors or exhibitors usually on a territory-by-territory basis.
RegalWorks’s overarching goal is to leverage its proprietary framework, currently in development, to produce and distribute high-quality productions to their receptive audiences. The company leverages a highly qualified management team and firm growth strategy to achieve its objectives and increase shareholder value.

RWMI Enters into Binding LOI to Acquire Working Element
RegalWorks Media, an independent multimedia studio initially focused on feature film production, has entered into a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire transmedia production company, Working Element.
“Working Element brings revenue generating media assets that increase shareholder value,” RegalWorks chairman and CEO Dane West stated in the news release. “Their product management approach to transmedia production is a strong fit with our own model, a critical consideration as we add complementary assets and skillsets we can easily integrate. Expanding into video game and interactive media production augments our current focus of delivering feature films and is central to executing our transmedia strategy. When a great opportunity like Working Element comes along, it allows us to execute more elements of our core business strategy.”
Working Element has built a strong intellectual property portfolio through partnership agreements with global media companies such as MGM, Random House, and CBS. Among Working Element’s incredible 44-title portfolio is Brian Jacques’ fantasy novel series “Redwall,” which has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, as well as digital and interactive rights to “Star Trek” and “Stargate”; others will be announced at a later date.
In 2013, Working Element completed development of the first two episodes of “Stargate SG-1: Unleashed.” Based on MGM’s “Stargate SG-1? series, the episodic adventure game for mobile devices reunites original cast members Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, and Christopher Judge.

RWMI is “One to Watch”
RegalWorks Media is a multimedia entertainment company focused on producing and distributing feature films that resonate with audiences worldwide. Plans are currently underway to expand into other media platforms as well. Through film production and distribution, film fund formation and management, and media technology services, RegalWorks aims to achieve three key business objectives: to honor audiences; to honor creative talent (producers, directors, writers, cast, and crew); and to honor investors.
By tapping into the skills and services of top entertainment industry talent, RegalWorks has found a winning formula to produce exceptionally high-quality movies. In addition, RegalWorks applies a product management model to all of its entertainment projects to manage the entire lifecycle of the project and maximize its profit potential. In addition to original production and co-production, the Company acquires new product that fits its criteria via acquisition of distribution rights from third-party producers.
The company uses a full range of channels to distribute its content worldwide, including theatrical exhibition; DVD retail and rental systems; electronic sell through (online subscription services, download to own/rent, etc.); satellite, cable, and broadcast TV; and international distribution, for which RegalWorks will have its own international film sales division.
The formation and management of funds allocated to investing in the production and P&A (Prints and Advertising) of filmed entertainment is a central business of RegalWorks. As such, the company is forming a film fund to finance the production of at least 10 films by the end of 2016, and is forming a rolling P&A fund to support the wide theatrical release of 3-4 films per year. The designated management committee of each fund is comprised of well balanced and experienced industry executives to ensure a blended, thorough, and professional analysis that minimizes risk and maximizes returns for the company and its shareholders.
Leveraging its core competencies, RegalWorks further extends company capabilities through strategic partnerships and by investing in other media companies with synergetic skill sets. RegalWorks has also established a proprietary framework that aligns buzz-worthy, well-told stories to their most receptive audiences. This technology is being rapidly developed via a pipeline of prospective acquisitions.

RegalWorks Media, an independent multimedia studio focused on feature film production, reports that it has closed on its financing for Jake’s Run, the company’s first feature film production, based on the true-life events of ESPN ESPY Award winner Jake Porter. The company has also added two key members to its executive management team.
“Jake’s Run” will follow RegalWorks’ model of producing high-quality films at a reasonable budget and maximizing the cash flows through multiple revenue sources. Casting is underway in preparation to commence production in April 2014. Studio distribution for the film is in process and expected to be secured by the end of February 2014.
RegalWorks appointed Ken Herfurth to its leadership team, where he will serve as vice president of business development, contributing his more than 20 years of management and leadership expertise, including seven years with a Fortune 100 company. Herfurth’s primary focus has been on identifying potential acquisitions and conducting due diligence. After serving in this capacity as a consultant for five months, he surfaced several potential acquisitions and has been brought on the team to help close one or more of these transactions in the first quarter.
Bill Friday, CFA, was also appointed to RegalWorks’ leadership team where he will serve as vice president of finance and operations to lead the company’s various financing efforts as the company seeks to complete the financing for its first three films and several acquisitions targeted to close in the first quarter. Friday has more than 25 years of successful experience in international banking and finance with stints at both Wachovia Bank and Grosvenor Park Media that included work in film and entertainment. He has previously arranged or co-arranged on more than $40 billion in syndicated facilities. Friday has been serving as a consultant for the past six months, supporting RegalWorks CFO Marcia Allen in various corporate finance matters. His primary focus has been on raising capital for the company’s films, film funds, and acquisitions.
“We are excited with our progress in getting the financing for our first film completed, having two more nearing completion, and lining up several strategic acquisitions in a relatively short amount of time,” RegalWorks chairman and CEO Dane West stated in the news release. “Having Mr. Herfurth and Mr. Friday now as officers of the Company will provide the kind of expertise and concentrated focus it will take to seize these various opportunities in an accelerated timeframe.”
