ATTN: HG GROUPS - bonus distribution opportunity

I signed a deal today through an entertainment lawyer to distribute media to China, Japan, Malaysia, Europe and other countries for mobile phone users to purchase video for their cell phones. The money is honestly better paying than releasing DVDs from the research and information that I've looked over but this isn't going to be a cheap investment for me to move forward with. I've been working on getting this deal for about 6 weeks now and it was just finalized today but I didn't want to speak about it until it was in writing and completed.

The groups that have already sent me footage and release forms for the Homegrown Collection DVD will need to send me another sepereate license agreement form for this new distribution opportunity if you want to be involved. I will need to change up the release form slightly so that it covers this new form of distribution and the % for this other distribution opportunity will be less due to the time and money that I have to invest to make this possible.

To give an example of the kind of money that can be made this way, there are over 440,000,000 cell phone users in China alone. The distribution for this media distribution will cover China and at least 9 other countries, mainly in Asia but also in Europe.

I'm going to have the HG DVD edited and distributed as planned but I also want to get this other media distribution started up at the same time so it's important that I get a seperate license agreement form for this new distribution opportunity.

Brief numbers would be that a 1-3 minute clip would be downloaded for about $0.10 (American currency value) but the buys will be in such bulk that you could be making a thousand dollars off of each clip that I release. Each group I have the forms signed for will have mobile phone clips made with only their footage solo so that figuring out the money owed to you through the % is easy and simple to figure out.

I'm excited about this opportunity but I'm just letting everybody know right now that this will not be cheap for me to do but I can make it happen and the editing time to make this happen is going to be heavy.

If you already sent me footage and a release form, please email me at [email address redacted] for a new license agreement for this other form of distribution. Or if you haven't sent footage in yet for the HG DVD and you want to do this, email me and I will have the form ready for you.

I'm sure you guys will have questions so I'll do my best to answer everything.

yes but if you send footage I would have you send me 2 seperate license forms, one form for the dvd and another form for the mobile distribution.

just email me at [email address redacted]

I am rewriting the license agreement form for the mobile distribution right now. but as soon as I get it finished I can send it out.

every group that sent me footage for the DVD needs to also send me this seperate license agreement so that they can be involved in this other aspect of distribution.

The HG DVD is 30% revenue. The mobile phone distribution will be at least 10% and at most 15%. I have to look at what this is going to cost me. The lawyer fees to get this deal signed alone has cost me a lot of money that I know owe, and this is before production costs which is why the % is lower for this form of distribution. Literally, I'm going to have probably 2 editors editing all this footage into 1-3 minute videos per group and it's going to take up a lot of resources, time and equipment.

I'll have skate pieces edited for this distribution as well. I'm going to be supplying many different styles of media.

I looked at the G3 Network information. This distribution access is much bigger and I will have the media available in N. America but the international market is sooooo much bigger it's not even funny.

I got this offer via email a couple times.

didn't any of you guys? I don't think you have to go thru moody in order to do this deal. He's tryin' to make another buck of ya'll. haha.

everybody is making money here. the deal I have signed is the real deal and covers over 1 billion cell phone users before N. America is included into the deal. getting a good contract for this form of distribution is very difficult which is why I had a lawyer handle it for me. it's not easy like you think it is.

I doubt what he is doing is on this scale of numbers and audience size. Every country that has a large amout of cell phone users is covered under my deal. I've been comparing opportunities in this distribution method for 6 weeks.

Just reading back on my original post right now, it isn't a thousand dollars that can be made off of a 1-3 minute video. It is thousands of dollars that you could make.

The deal I have signed covers everything from the distribution, to the marketing, promotion and advertising. At first the companies in China didn't want to have the media be advertised out of their pocket but they commited to advertising a lot of money, roughly $45,000 (American currency value) on the first run of the content because I showed them video of everything I can supply, ranging from Homegrown to wrestling, to cage fighting and other media. My lawyer worked out a golden deal.

Actually Im distributing to over 40 countries at the moment and can almost garuntee that Ive got more distribution networks set up than you. Ive been doing it for nearly 2 years dickhead and money is coming in.

You're deal is a ripoff and once again you've come in trying to rip off groups. I offer 30% and groups Im working with have actually seen money so far.

I'm not trying to rip off groups. Fact is that I have already owe $10,000 for this deal and it's going to cost another $10,000 estimated to have all the content produced. I have a lot of content.

I'll match whatever Elliot is offering people. I'll do 30% without a problem but with the future costs I have stemming from this, profits will be minimal but I'll do whatever is needed so people get the same deal, whatever is fair.

I'm signing more deals for this mobile distribution in the next couple of weeks but so far the big deal has been signed, which is important to me because it sets a standard that other territories will need to match based on the amont of cell phone users in the territories.

So let me get this straight. You come in here offering 15% but somehow can instantly double that figure when questioned?

This more or less proves that you are out to rip off groups from the beginning and always come in here offering absolute shit deals looking to line your pockets and not look after the HGF community.

You're so fake dude.

Im not going to turn this into a pissing contest about who's done more Mobile Deals. All I know is that Ive got a lot of good relationships with companys over the last 2 years and have a good business model up. I look after homegrown groups as I am in one and know what its like to have fuckwits like Moody always hanging around trying to exploit.

I'm not going to have somebody like you, especially you, offer a better deal.

Reality is, I already have an order to have 1,000 videos produced for the companies I signed with. I have no idea why they want so many videos but I'm just going along with their deal that I signed onto. But at the same time it works out for me because I will have all this content for other deals in the same industry. I have to employ 2 editors, equipment, legal fees, and other costs which is why the % was %15. It's going to be a rather large amount of production, time and money I have to invest into this.

So you admit you came in here with a shit deal that you couldve easily double and still make a profit?

You came in here trying to rip off groups. This more or less proves it.
