VGTel Awards K2 Communications Distribution Rights for New 4K 3D
Wing-Suit Flyer Film Featuring Joby Ogwyn
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired
- June 18, 2014) - Grand Schema Entertainment and its parent
company VGTel, Inc. -
360entertainmentandproductions.com (OTCQB: VGTL), announced today that Los
Angeles-based film distributor K2 Communications was awarded
worldwide distribution rights for a Giant Screen 3D documentary
film about high altitude climber and wing-suit explorer Joby
Ogwyn.
VGTel recently formed Grand Schema Entertainment ("GSE") with
the New York-based film studio Grand Schema NYC to privately fund
and produce independent films. VGTel's CEO Greg Wells stated,
"As we grow VGTel and implement our global growth initiatives in
new media and entertainment, we are looking for partners that are
best in class in their respective industries. We chose to work with
K2 Communications because it is one of the world's leading
distributors for IMAX® and Giant Screen films."
The currently untitled wing-suit documentary will be directed by
GSE's Christopher J. Scott and will take viewers along with Ogwyn
as he pursues his quest to be the first human being to base jump
and fly in all seven continents. "The culmination of the
expeditions across seven continents to some of the highest and most
dangerous places on earth will truly be one of the greatest human
feats ever captured on film," said Scott.
K2 represents a large catalog of 3D, 4K and Full Dome films
including such blockbuster titles such as the Ultimate Wave
Tahiti featuring eleven-time world champion surfer Kelly
Slater. "We're very excited to bring wing-suit flyers to
museum audiences worldwide. This film has all the elements of
a winner in our industry -- the science of human flight,
spectacular settings, and man's passion for travel and adventure,"
said Mark Kresser President of K2 Communications.
Wing-suit flyers will be produced in 3D and 2D for museums,
science centers and other specialty theaters. As GSE's first
major project, VGTel executives are collaborating on the production
and will earn a percentage of revenue from the worldwide
distribution rights.
Already in production, the film is slated for a worldwide
release in March 2015 and will also be released in all ancillary
media including Ultra HD (4K) and HD TV, VOD, Blu Ray,
download-to-own, streaming and other platforms. Former member of
The Scorpions, Ralph Rieckermann, will compose an original score
for the movie.
