Big Screen Entertainment Group (OTC:BSEG) is pleased to announce it will post the company's financials and other pertinent corporate data on the web service OTC Pink Market.com on the premium service OTCIQ on Friday, September 5.
On Thursday, most of Big Screen management heads north to Eureka, California for the Wild Rivers 101 Film Festival where a number of BSEG projects and personnel are being honored.
President of Production, Stephen Eckelberry, and Big Screen CEO, Kimberley Kates, will discuss the film making process with local college students and then present BSEG's recently completed feature film, "Nina and the Mystery of the Secret Room," directed by Eckelberry as well as produced and financed by BSEG, on Thursday, September 4th.
Actors from some of BSEG's films will also be on hand, including Monty Bane, co-star of both "Nina and the Mystery of the Secret Room" and "Babysitter Wanted," as well as film icon, Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee, Karen Black, the wife of Stephen Eckelberry, who will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.
On September 5th, BSEG's highly acclaimed horror/thriller, co-directed by BSEG Senior VP, Michael Manasseri, will be showcased at the festival. The film was shot in nearby Yreka, Montague and Weed, California. Shareholders are encouraged to attend the screening, playing at 7:00 p.m. at the Eureka Theatre.
Following the festival, Mr. Manasseri will be heading to Michigan to set up BSEG's Michigan production office and begin prepping the family film franchise of four films, "Code Ninja." Manasseri is spearheading the company's plans to open a permanent production branch in Michigan taking advantage of the state's newly passed film incentive program offering up to 40% back on film investments made within the state.
"With Michigan's film incentive coupled with advantageous federal tax laws for independent film investors, this is a great opportunity for Big Screen and its investors to develop a Michigan based production infrastructure," stated Manasseri.
