Raven Moon is pleased to disclose it has had the opportunity for meeting & discussion with Universal Studios.
Background & Meeting Details For some time, the Company has been lobbying various studios to take an interest in the progress & plans of Raven Moon, a family based programming development company. These efforts have not involved any major presentations or meetings to discuss potential partnering, distribution opportunities, & other benefits which could be derived from working with a "major." Suddenly, just before year end, the Company accomplished, with the advice & introductions of advisors, an initial meeting at Universal Studios with a senior executive, in the making since last summer, to discuss a variety of areas including interest & progress relating to the Gina D® label. The meeting, in Hollywood, at Universal, was attended by Joey DiFrancesco, CEO of Raven Moon, accompanied by advisors. The CEO was very pleased to see that the executive was already briefed & familiar with the Company products & plans, & discussions were undertaken on a variety of areas including introductions of the Company to a long list of television & media outlets, promoters & companies including a major television network. According to DiFrancesco, "We announced the meeting previously but were cautious in releasing details until I had time to discuss the event with the Board, advisors & others, but more importantly to see if the meeting would actually result in some advancing of our interests. The contacts & strategies from the California meeting may very well place us in line for a major break. In this industry, being able to have access & advice, even if informally, helps to make things happen."
Benefits Starting The Company is in the process of presenting music, video, & plans to a variety of relationships & referrals suggested by the Universal executive & some strategy has been developed from the meeting, relating to marketing & distribution. Currently, a result directly from the meeting has been the presentation of GINA D® productions to a major television network, & the show is currently under consideration for a Saturday morning program slot. The Company, through advisors, remains in touch with Universal & believes ongoing news will result from the relationships being built, fostered by the meeting & advisors.
About Universal Studios: While the Company is not under any agreement with Universal, it believes the communications & future supply serious potentials given the size & strength of Universal.
