Liquid Media Group Ltd. (the “Company,” “Liquid Media” or “Liquid”)
(Nasdaq: YVR) is pleased to announce that members of the Company’s
expert leadership team are being enlisted by numerous media
outlets, including CNBC, to educate audiences on a variety of
trending industry topics. The press is also covering Liquid as an
emerging leader that is bringing solutions to today’s content
creators.
In a recent report aired on CNBC’s “The News
with Shepard Smith,” Correspondent Kristina Partsinevelos covered
Hollywood's streaming pivot, its impact on indie films, plus the
range of expertise that is required of today's filmmakers and
creative personnel.
“You have to be much more entrepreneurial, which
is not a natural fit necessarily for a director, or a producer, or
a writer or even an actor,” Liquid Chairman Joshua Jackson told
CNBC. “To become a subject matter expert in all of those things, in
order to best position your film so that you get an opportunity to
make another film, you will probably need help.”
Lending a helping hand to content creators is
exactly what Liquid is doing via its four-phase business solution
engine. To that end, Liquid’s project submission portal for films,
series, documentaries and other professional video content was
recently formalized so that producers and other creatives can
submit their projects for financing, distribution and
monetization.
“I think the enormous demand for content these
days has created such an incredible opportunity,” Liquid CEO Ron
Thomson told CNBC.
Thomson also spoke recently with CityNews 680
Business Editor Kris McCusker in a Weekend Business report that
aired in Toronto and was syndicated to affiliate radio stations
across Canada. Liquid, Thomson told CityNews 680, “is setting
up...a business infrastructure to really support independent
creators so that they can confidently go forward and focus on what
they do best, which is creating.” Thomson added that he believes
the massive demand for fresh content is a permanent shift. “The
industry is constantly evolving and this is the most recent
evolution,” he told McCusker and the CityNews 680 audience, which
tops 1.5 million listeners each week.
Following a successful launch, panel
presentations and the Company’s “Big Splash” gala at the Toronto
Independent Film Festival (TIFF), Liquid and its leadership team
were also featured in numerous media stories and TV interviews in
Toronto, Hollywood, New York and beyond.
An article from Deadline Hollywood showcases how
Joshua Jackson is making a better world for independent filmmakers
with Liquid Media Group as the Company “is looking to create an
easier path for filmmakers to get their content in front of
audiences, while allowing them ownership in their content across
all ancillaries, so that ‘you survive and tell another story.’”
In an interview with “The Social,” Canada’s #1
daytime TV show, Jackson emphasized how Liquid’s innovation in
business has translated into an incredible opportunity. Liquid, he
said, “was born at the time that it was born because I thought the
streaming revolution was going to change how the gatekeepers
operated in our industry. [Then] COVID happened, everything shut
down, everybody went to streaming, and the whole industry, in a
night, flipped over to the new world. So what was a
‘forward-looking’ idea [with Liquid] is now a ‘right-now’
idea.”
“We’ve created the structure which enables us to
help creators focus on what they do best; and we can focus on the
business aspects that help them be financially and commercially
successful,” Thomson told Playback Daily. “Liquid Media offers them
a helping hand approach, handling a lot of the things that
producers perhaps are not the best at doing themselves but they
have to in order to survive today.”
Thomson and Jackson share additional insights
about how Liquid is driving the industry forward in coverage via
The Globe and Mail, CTV Toronto, CityNews National TV, The Benzinga
Power Hour and more. Liquid Media’s recent endeavors have also
garnered international media attention in several locations,
ranging from Japan to Mexico.
