VGTel, now doing business as 360 Entertainment & Productions, Inc., is focused on creating a multiplatform entertainment and production company that offers content, production, distribution, and programming for feature films, Broadway and the London stage, and Internet Web sites, as well as simulcasting into movie theaters and other venues. The company also provides products and vehicles for financing tax credits and other products tailored for the entertainment industry.
The company has created a management team and advisory board that include seasoned veterans with vast entrepreneurial experience in the entertainment industry and financial markets, as well as marketing specialists and technical professionals. 360’s entertainment industry connections and relationships give the company the luxury of attracting quality projects rather than having to seek them out. 360’s projects and partner projects will have access to the majority of New York’s finest stages through the company’s relationships with Broadway’s two largest theater owners. The company also has access to A-list talent – both on-camera, onstage, in front of the microphone, and behind the scenes – through its affiliations with some of the top managers and agents in the entertainment industry.
360’s business outlook is founded on a strategy of growing and building business units through investments and acquisitions. The company’s various businesses will include a core media unit, consisting of emerging media projects in film, stage, and streaming/online content; an Internet access/gaming unit with an explosive growth area in the distribution of sweepstakes/gaming machines that have the look and feel of slot machines and other casino gaming devices but are legal in most states; and an emerging business unit that consists of acquiring new services in development.
The company recognizes that a key aspect of today’s entertainment marketplace is providing compelling content and innovative ways of delivering that content to intended audiences. As the entertainment and media industry accelerates the transition to mobile access and dynamic content, companies must keep pace by strategizing ways to reach key audiences in an increasingly digital environment.
