Arts
Alliance Media (AAM), the London-based digital cinema company, and Molinare, one
of the UK’s most respected post-production facilities, have entered into an
agreement to partner in offering Arts Alliance Media’s digital cinema services
to Molinare’s post-production clients. The move will see producers being
offered a seamless end-to-end service from preproduction through to theatrical
release.
AAM, which has provided digital cinema content
and distribution services to clients throughout Europe since 2006, will work
with Molinare to provide services such as DCP (Digital Cinema Package) creation
and reversioning for different territories, along with a full QC service in
either of its two fully equipped digital cinemas, in London and Paris. The collaboration/combined
services offering will also provide AAM clients the chance to benefit from a
full managed post production service with Molinare.
Services available will also include
distribution to cinemas globally – including the option of satellite
transmission direct to cinema servers, or the alternative of distribution on
hard drive or USB. AAM will also provide a full security key (KDM) management
service to ensure content can only be unlocked by a specified cinema screen at
the specified time.
Scott Holmgren, Molinare’s Chief Operating
Officer, commented “Being able to offer this final step of digital cinema asset
creation and distribution means that we can now offer our customers a totally
integrated workflow through to getting their product to cinemas. Arts Alliance
Media’s experience in the digital cinema world is unparalleled and we’re
delighted to be working with them and looking forward to the new services we’re
going to have on offer.”
Victoria Galloway, Content & Distributor
Services Director of Arts Alliance Media added “Working as a partner with
Molinare means that we can get involved with clients at an earlier stage and
help them to plan requirements for their cinema release anywhere in the world,
with everything from trailers to the final feature in different versions. We
were impressed with the fantastic service Molinare provide to their clients,
and the reputation they have for technical excellence, and we’re excited to work
with them to bring the efficiencies and quality of digital cinema to more
filmmakers.”
AAM has distributed thousands of digital prints
around the world, and has achieved several satellite distribution firsts with
its partner Arqiva Satellite & Media.
Molinare provides state of the art
post-production services to clients throughout the world of feature film and
broadcast, and to date has post produced over 200 films, including the Academy
Award winning films The King’s Speechand Man on Wire and has most recently worked
on Ridley Scott’s 3D Alien prequel, Prometheus.
