OKLAHOMA CITY, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- With 20 finished films Oklahoma filmmaker, Annette D. Colbert-Latham, CEO of Visage Production, Inc. will attend DISCOP Africa 4 in Nairobi, Kenya. DISCOP Africa markets to over 400 TV Channels, 50 pay-TV platforms, 300 million mobile and 70 Internet Users, serving a population of 700 million people. This event is where buyers of content purchase for their respective countries.

Copyright licensing fees for films per country and per medium starts at $150,000 and up. This is why these events are so significant.

"Each country spends millions for films as each copyright for one film hold 33 different licensing agreements. An example would be they may buy it for cable and pay-per-view so that is two different licensing agreements with two separate fees."

One of the films, "New Black Gold: The Story of Oklahoma City Eastside" is set for viewing at the Beverly Hills Film Festival in Beverly Hills, CA and for New York Independent Film and Video Festival in New York City, NY.
