Morgan Freeman - Leading The Way In Online Film Distribution



Greetings Family,

Beloved and honored, actor/filmmaker/entrepreneur and social activist, Morgan Freeman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Freeman) announced today, the formation of a new partnership with Intel designed to distribute movies and short films online, connecting independents to film fans worldwide.

Mr. Freeman's production company Revelations (http://www.RevelationsEntertainment.com), has formed ClickStar Inc. with an (undisclosed) investment from Intel Inc. (http://www.intel.com). ClickStar's strategy is to create an online service in which consumers can access, pay for, and download first-run, pre-DVD-release films and artist-created entertainment channels in their homes. This new online destination will be designed to give filmmakers a vehicle to connect directly with fans, and offer consumers a new way of experiencing home entertainment. ClickStar will enable new business models resulting in increased revenue opportunities for the film industry.

The back story, beyond the fact that a Black man is creating a video/film
version of iTunes (www.itunes.com), is the corporate goals of Revelations.
In line with Morgan Freeman's public and private image, Revelations stated
goal, is to develop and produce commercially successful entertainment, in
all existing and emerging media, that endeavors to enlighten, express the
heart and glorify the human experience. Let me break that down for you...Revelations will create and back films that; Uplift and entertain; Provide positive values and role models; Bring untold stories to life.

According to their website; Revelations strives to balance the forces of
creativity, conscience, and commerce in the entertainment industry. The founders of Revelations understand the power of the media and the images and messages it can instill in people worldwide. Revelations intends to be
a leader in the industry, answering the demand for entertainment while taking
responsibility for these messages and images.

Technology is changing everything we do, and the way we do it. With the
advent and worldwide acceptance of digital technology, the entertainment
paradigm has changed. Film companies used to make films, television used to
be about TV, radio was about location, newspapers were about print ...

Now they have all converged into ones and zeros, accessible anywhere, anytime on any device. Morgan Freeman told reporters at Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference, "We're going to bypass what the music industry had to come up with (meaning Napster and iTunes), and that's to get ahead of the whole piracy thing,". ClickStar addresses the growing worldwide consumer
demand for digital content especially filmed entertainment, Freeman said. Our
goal is to deliver first-run premium entertainment to film fans around the
world and to make film easier to buy than to pirate.
