Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. (“AccessIT”) (AMEX: AIX) announced today that Brad Carroll, a leading exhibitor relations executive, has joined the company as Director of Business Operations at AccessIT’s digital cinema technology and services division. In this newly created position, Mr. Carroll will be responsible for managing the operational functions necessary to support successful deliveries of movies and other content to theatres. In addition to his broad experience as an exhibitor relations specialist, he also brings to AccessIT extensive expertise in film distribution and booking and operational management.

Most recently, Mr. Carroll served as Director of Exhibitor Relations for Fandango, the nation's largest online and phone movie ticketing service, serving over 1,100 theaters and 12,500 screens.

Carroll was also a founder of Joseph Street Pictures, a video production house catering to independent film-makers and first-time directors.

Commenting on his new position, Carroll said: “There can be no doubt that digital cinema is the wave of the future in motion picture distribution and exhibition, which is why I’m particularly pleased to have the opportunity to be joining a company like AccessIT – a pioneer in the sector and now clearly taking the lead in promoting digital cinema’s adoption by theaters across the country. It’s exciting to be a part of this historic transition in a great industry.”

Russell Wintner, president and COO of AccessIT’s Digital Media division, added: “As our company takes another giant step forward with its recently announced major exhibitor agreements for deploying digital systems, it’s critically important that we have seasoned professionals with proven experience working with our studio and exhibitor partners. Attracting someone with the broad and deep background and credentials of Brad Carroll is a big plus for AccessIT.”
