prestigious locations, the "impossible to get" hotel suites, for meetings with buyers, investors and producers:

Post-Market:
After a major market, timely follow-up is the focus of Echelon Studios telephone, fax and e-mail; contact
buyers/producers/investors who were seen and those who were not; and send producer packages, scripts
and DVD's of its films.
All contracts are executed in a timely manner for all deal memos signed during the markets.

York, London, Shanghai, Berlin, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Vancouver and Worldfest, etc.
Continuous promotion and presence is an absolute: telephone calls, e-mails, faxes, press releases e-mailed
weekly to over 2,000 producers and 30,000 buyers and shipping of DVD's, marketing materials and producer
packages/scripts to potential investors/buyers.
