Through 'AdFilmTies Movie Producer' Concept, Independent Movie Studio Is First Ever to Call on General Public to Help Produce Nationally Distributed Feature Films

JERSEY CITY, N.J., March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- AdFilmTies Inc. (http://www.adfilmties.com/), an organization dedicated to improving the lives of those afflicted by mental illness, health, social and economic issues through creative and appealing films and other multi media, today announced its launch of http://adfilmties.com/, an interactive website that provides the public with a direct say in the movies they want to see made.

AdFilmTies will utilize a patent-pending business model that eliminates the risk of traditional film financing by providing corporations the opportunity to finance films pertinent to their business without script rights or product placement guarantees. AdFilmTies' unique production model involves a community of sponsors, expert advisors, grass roots organizations, media outlets, and consumers, who help ensure that the company's films reach the widest possible audience.

"A Reel Difference": From Fans to Producers

For the first time in the history of the motion picture industry, consumers, film fans and the general public will also be empowered to assist in the production of an independent, nationally distributed feature film by assuming the role of "AdFilmTies Movie Producer."

"AdFilmTies Movie Producer" is a concept that enables supporters of the AdFilmTies concept to assist in the production of the company's first feature film, "Manic Ride," by allowing them to participate in production decisions. "Manic Ride" tells the story of how bipolar illness affects an entrepreneur and his family.

The "AdFilmTies Movie Producer" platform, administered through streaming video and online polling, will enable users to vote on topics such as cast, location, music, and distribution, in essence allowing them to become a tangible part of the film making process.

All-Star Crew

AdFilmTies was founded by "Manic Ride" screenwriter, John DeTitta, who based the script on his personal experiences in successfully treating and living with bi-polar disorder. The company will also be managed by George DeTitta, an Academy Award nominee with over 50 years experience in the film industry. The production division of the company will be headed by Barbara De Fina, renowned producer of such classic films as "Goodfellas," "Casino," "Cape Fear," "Raging Bull," and other critically acclaimed films. "Manic Ride" will be produced by Ms. De Fina.

"We are delighted with the launch of AdFilmTies.com, which began with my mission to become both an advocate for the understanding of mental health issues and a resource base for knowledge and support," said John DeTitta, Founder and CEO. "We are particularly proud of AdFilmTies' unique model that brings the advertising and film industries together to better support our communities."

"We believe film is the most powerful medium for creating awareness and acceptance among the general public," said George De Titta, President of AdFilmTies. "John and I look forward to working together to bring an understanding of mental health, health, social and economic issues into the mainstream consciousness of America."

Once voting has concluded, the four highest scored projects over a given period will be placed into a development stage with the final winner greenlighted by AdFilmTies.
