Last month CinemaShares.com was a Top Ten Finalist in the Vator.tv Splash Competition in San Francisco for startup companies. Out of a field of 200 companies competing, CinemaShares finished as a Top Ten Finalist. We would like to thank the judges for this terrific opportunity to have participated in this event, and thank Vator.tv for the prizes we won.Here you can see a short summary of our unique new method of funding movies online and the video of our 3-minute presentation:

CinemaShares.com holds a License to the MediaShares unique U.S. Patented (U.S. Patent # 6792411) Business Method for Crowdfunding movies. We will use this method of Crowdfunding to finance our first project, a Christian-themed film on Dr. David Livingstone, the famous 19th Century African missionary. CinemaShares has obtained the rights to "David Livingstone - The Truth behind the Legend," by Rob Mackenzie. This is the best-known Christian-themed book on Livingstone and Rob is recognized as one of the world's experts on Livingstone.

Here is a link to a video of Rob that we filmed in Zambia while location scouting for the film:

CinemaShares.com - Using MediaShares.com's Business Method

CinemaShares.com is Using the MediaShares.com Patented Business Method.

MediaShares.com is a financial services company that earns its revenues by providing a new mechanism (U. S. Patented Business Method, software, and marketing techniques) that enables any company to raise capital from the general public on its own Web site

1- Using an SEC-approved method of Crowdfunding, this new mechanism:

A. Creates a NEW TYPE OF ONLINE IPO for any company that needs capital by providing a method to offer their stock on their own Web site. Such an offering is made through Direct Registration, with or without the traditional underwriter.

B. Creates a NEW TYPE OF ONLINE IPO for media and entertainment companies to sell their stock online to their specific target audience (THEIR FANS or their Affinity Group).

C. Produces massive multiple revenue streams through licensing our business method, software, and marketing techniques to any company planning an IPO.

2- Other Crowdfunding methods, and even some of the individual components of our Business Method, are already being used in some manner on the Internet. It is our way of combining and applying these elements to an online IPO that makes us unique. For example, Direct Registration/DRS is a method of selling a company’s stock online. Home Depot’s Web site allows anyone to buy HOME DEPOT STOCK on its Web site directly from Home Depot using Direct Registration. Our Business Method also uses Direct Registration, but we apply Direct Registration to selling stock in an online IPO.

3- Our Business Method provides an SEC-approved, legal means of selling single shares of stock online to an entertainment company’s FANS (its affinity group).

4- Our unique Business Method offers to each shareholder a free product, (usually a DVD, delivered as a stock dividend) with a retail value that is worth the cost (about $23) of her share purchase.

5- Our Business Method can be applied to Crowdfunding Entertainment projects on the Internet. We now have the capability to create an online IPO for an entertainment company owning a Movie, a NASCAR team, a record album, a Broadway Show, or any entertainment entity with a large FAN BASE and Distributed Media as its end product.

6- Our methodology creates massive online communities of loyal fans around each company. Selling related products to these fans online can be highly profitable.

7- Our massive online communities offer the extraordinary opportunity for numerous collaborative retail partnerships

8- We have in-house projects ready to proceed to an IPO using our methodology:

a- A Christian-themed movie on Dr. David Livingstone

b- A NASCAR Team

9- MediaShares.com holds an issued U.S. Patent for this unique Business Method (U.S. Patent # 6792411)

10- We have major partners working with us to implement our business method:

a. BNYMellon – A Direct Registration provider

b. Computershare - A Direct Registration provider

c. Ellen Phillip & Associates – A company with a precedent for a similar business model for selling shares online, EPA will handle our data management and shareholder logins

11- We have assembled a stellar team to implement our Business method:

a- Dan Sherkow is the former V.P. Paramount Pictures and has an SEC series 7 license.

b- Jim Volpe INVENTED the Direct Registration system (DRS) for online securities.

c- Peter Elwell (CFO) is a California CPA and has extensive SEC reporting experience with major Corporations including Disney and KPMG.

d- Ileana Rizescu is a former PWC consultant who develops and implements sophisticated e-commerce systems for Pepperdine University.

e- Gene Massey, MediaShares.com’s founder, has owned a Los Angeles film production company for many years, implementing highly successful marketing campaigns for Callaway Golf and others.

We need a minimum of $500,000 to a maximum of $1,000,000 now to implement the first IPO. An investment in MediaShares can be structured as straight equity or a loan with all or part convertible to stock in the first IPO.

Any interested parties should feel free to contact Gene Massey at the numbers below.

All the best to you,

Gene Massey

"Imagine a million or more Christian movie fans online, each holding a single NASDAQ share of stock in a public company owning one major motion picture. These shareholders follow the production of their movie online, while waiting for their stock dividend of a free DVD and their share of the movie's earnings."
