ONE MEDIA ACQUIRES THE HIBROW PRESTIGIOUS DIGITAL LIBRARY OF ART PROGRAMMING

 One Media iP Group Plc (AIM: OMIP), a digital media content provider, which consolidates, exploits and monetises intellectual property rights around music and video, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusive long term digital exploitation license agreement with HiBrow Production's TV & music catalogue for an Advance of £21,000 ($26,000 USD) recoupable against future royalties.

The film director Don Boyd founded Hibrow Productions in 2008. It gathered a wide eclectic range of prestigious professionals from within the international arts industries (the Hibrow’s ‘Curators’) in order to create high quality arts content. The company’s experienced film-making teams have produced over 200 hours of original ‘high-definition’ broadcast quality digital videos featuring numerous internationally acclaimed artists, authors, Hollywood actors, dancers, choreographers, conductors, musicians, directors and designers. It has enjoyed successful associations and partnerships with broadcasters including the BBC and Sky Arts where its content was regularly broadcast.

One Media will further exploit the Hibrow content primarily via its digital audio and video routes to market such as YouTube, Amazon and its 600 digital stores such as iTunes, Spotify, Deezer and Google Play.

Michael Infante commenting on the deal said, "The HiBrow catalogue is a varied collection of content ranging from the Edinburgh Festival, the Quadrophenia Reunion to large orchestral works both classical and light. It features ‘close up’ interviews with the great and the good of the Art World to leading composers in music and authors of great literary works. It gets behind the scenes of fashion and broadcast, making this collection the most amazing insight to the ‘Arts’ available today. The films archive many controversial views from those involved. Contemporary in his approach, Don Boyd has been the architect to an amazing evolving catalogue of film that drills down deeply under the surface of the Arts. Establishing a market for these masterpieces is both a privilege and an honour".

Don Boyd, Hibrow’s Artistic Director, commented: “One Media's experience and talented team are proving that intelligent exploitation and marketing of digital content via the internet can broaden audiences and provide revenues in a very competitive arena dominated by vast conglomerates with massive resources. I am delighted to be working with kindred spirits who share my passionate belief that there are significant audiences for arts programming globally. I am confident that One Media will help Hibrow to grow and move towards a fresh profitable era in its quest to serve a public hungry for previously inaccessible high quality cultural experiences".
