From NEA and from Comcast Interactive Capital.
I am proud. I am happy to help the company now expand into indie films and to grow outside of the United States as well.
Here is a story from All Things D on the fundraising and our expansion plans. Thank you for caring about this company and our films and services.

Our relationship with the Washington Post. My relationship with the Washington Post. And the mainstream media in general.
The owners of several of our local sports teams sat through a couple of hours with the Washington Post this week. We were asked questions on a panel by a very smart and tough editor. The session was filmed and streamed live to the Washington Post’s audience. I enjoyed the session and was honored to share the stage with my friends and colleagues.
The Washington Post sold sponsorships to the event and around the streaming broadcast. It sold tickets to the event. We were made into programming and the Washington Post “monetized” us.
We were reported on, too. A lot. Four days worth of content was generated. A virtual bonanza. Click here for even more.
There have been many articles written and many pixels generated by our talk and discussion.
Those articles then activated many other media outlets to write. They generated blog posts. We became ripples in a pond. They all sold some ads around our words. The monster was fed. Worldwide.
We place some ads in the Washington Post newspaper and website via our teams. We have a business relationship with them. It is respectful and productive. We give the Washington Post money.
Diversity is good.

See what I mean on this one, too. Thank goodness for the ability to share all points of view via SnagFilms. Comcast has been a great partner to us across the board.

Here is the news release about this year’s television schedule.
To translate, Comcast will broadcast 73 games on Comcast SportsNet or Comcast SportsNet Plus. Fifty games will be seen in HD.
Seven games will be shown on Versus.
To date, we have two games that won’t be seen on TV because of some exclusivity issues - Versus vs. Comcast SportsNet – but we are working on that issue right now. So 80 of our 82 games will be seen on TV. Last season, 81 of our 82 games were seen on TV. This year, more games will be in HD than last year and more games will be on Comcast SportsNet vs. Comcast SportsNet Plus. Overall I am pleased with the schedule. Go Caps!
