TMM, Inc. (PINKSHEETS:TMMI) ("TMMI" or "the Company") is pleased to
announce the appointment of filmmaker Garrett Brown to its advisory
board, effective November 1st, 2012.
Garrett Brown is the inventor of the Oscar-winning Steadicam(TM)
camera stabilizer that allows cameramen to film while walking
without the shaking and jostling of a handheld camera. He used it
to shoot over a hundred movies including Rocky, The Shining,
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Philadelphia, and Return of
The Jedi. He has worked with such directors as Woody Allen, Hal
Ashby, John Alvidsen, Warren Beatty, Jonathan Demme, Terry Gilliam,
Stanley Kubrick, Mike Nichols, Frank Oz, John Schlesinger, Martin
Scorcese and Steven Spielberg.
Mr. Brown was the recipient of Oscar for Scientific and
Technical Achievement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences and an Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences for his invention of the Steadicam.
He holds 50 patents worldwide for camera devices including:
Steadicam Merlin, a miniature version for camcorders; Skycam, the
robot camera that flies on wires over sporting events; Mobycam, the
underwater camera that chases the swimmers at the Olympics; the
Emmy-award-winning Divecam and the ultra-light aerial film camera
called SuperFlyCam. His new zeroG technology "floats" tools and
reduces workplace injuries.
He made his way by innovation: as an admen in the 60's, a
filmmaker and inventor in the 70's, a clandestine radio humorist in
the 80's and an industry-changing sports videographer in the 90's,
Garrett has recorded for MGM as a folksinger, made TV commercials,
shot films for "Sesame Street, and was the other half of the famous
ad-lib radio duo for American Express and Molson Beer which was
named by Ad Age as one of 100 "Best Ad Campaigns of the
Century".

Directors Guild, the Screen Actors Guild and the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences, Garrett has been inducted into the
Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame. His popular lecture on "The
Moving Camera" has been seen at film schools and festivals around
the world, including the Media Lab at MIT.
