Modern Cinema Group. says it has made significant progress in its efforts to gain international regulatory approval for the launch of its MOCI Media Exchange and MOCI Bond.
Modern Cinema Group will soon be launching its Media “Futures” Exchange that it says "will allow producers to sell shares of their upcoming movies, TV shows and video games in the same way companies list for an IPO. As a result, traders can build investment portfolios consisting of discrete media titles rather than taking positions in media companies (as is the common practice today). Such an offering is needed in today’s climate as discrete media titles offer more opportunistic trading scenarios than do media companies with their years of baggage. With this level of granularity, artificial intelligence systems and networks will be able to achieve much higher levels of liquidity for more granular trades (meaning title by title)".
Key is to resolve all regulatory issues, Modern Cinema believes it has done enough for trading to commence within the first half of 2019. Domestic and international regulatory approvals are required for trading volumes to achieve levels necessary to attract institutional traders.
A new and financial instrument the Patent Pending MOCI Bond was created to addres the ebbs and flows of today’s media titles.discrepancies additionally, a patent application was duly filed with all relevant disclosure and claims.
Among the benefits of the MOCI Bond is the ability to operate over popular exchange networks offering a powerful ticker symbol for each discrete media title. Now you can check the price of The Monster from the Black Lagoon and buy or sell accordingly either on-line or by way of brokers.
According to Modern Cinema the most striking aspect of the MOCI Bond is its flexibility regarding underwriting, collateral and other standard banking requirements. The benefits of a MOCI Bond vs other common bond structures, the comparison can be summarized as follows: A MOCI Bond represents one discrete media title and offers the ability for authorized distributors to gain valuable license rights by way of purchasing and holding pre-determined numbers of shares until settlement. In this way, media distributors can improve their service offerings with fresh content while, at the same time developing new profit centers from successful trades.
“This has been a challenging process as media titles do not mimic common securities, and common bond structures aren’t designed for the variability of media disbursement waterfalls. In an industry such as construction, there is no option but pay the contractors. In the movie business, contractors readily accept financial risks that come with the territory", says Ross Cooper, CEO of Modern Cinema Group.
Sriram Das, CEO of DAS Films, comments “I’m a global investment banker turned movie producer, so I understand this model more than most. It’s a truly powerful and innovative tool, however the trick is to get all of the necessary regulatory approvals in place so trading volumes can be large enough to allow for short and long positions. It’s my understanding that Modern Cinema Group has spent the majority of 2018 getting approvals secured, however more are needed in the near future. Of course two important jurisdictions for them are India and China.”
Over the last year, some in the industry have characterized the MOCI Media Exchange and the MOCI Bond as yet another form of crowd funding, but this is not the case. The MOCI Media Exchange is designed to be a media marketplace with producers acting as sellers with international media distributors as natural buyers. The product to be delivered is the ownership and license rights of fresh media content for designated global territories. With such a marketplace, speculators can freely trade from simple scenarios to highly complex strategies including AI. Such a model is significantly more advanced than any crowd funding platform as it represents the next step forward in the quest to develop a fully regulated global Media Exchange.
Modern Cinema Group, based in Beverly Hills and founded in San Diego, has spent the last four years designing and patenting new business and technology models that allow both producers and distribution partners to integrate their systems in such a way as to leverage each other’s natural advantages.
