FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fulton Film Company Acquired by Magnitude Visuals:
Hollywood Filmmakers Expanding Their Reach

Hollywood, CA - Fulton Film Company has officially been acquired by Magnitude Visuals, an innovative visual content creation and digital marketing company. Unlike mergers, this acquisition means that Magnitude Visuals will fully absorb Fulton Film Company and take full control of the organization.

The deal includes the re-organization of intellectual property, which is set to expand the "Teach. Coach. Mentor." Program and the Financial Literacy Film Festival into more schools by Winter 2023. This move will continue to make a huge, positive impact in local communities and help to reduce the recidivism rate.

Founder of Fulton Film Company, Mr. George Ohan, and Founder of Magnitude Visuals, Mr. Oscar Garcia, are both Hollywood trained filmmakers and U.S. military veterans who have thrived on innovation.

They have made it their mission to share their knowledge and experience with young people through their Teach. Coach. Mentor. program which was created at Compton High School. The acquisition by Magnitude Visuals marks the beginning of a new chapter for both companies as they work together to amplify their reach and impact.

The motivated veterans will continue to be at the forefront of the expansion, bringing their passion for film and mentorship to even more schools.

This is a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between Hollywood and local communities while promoting financial literacy and education. Through this acquisition, Magnitude Visuals is once again demonstrating its unwavering commitment to inspiring, educating, and empowering underserved youth.

THE GI FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA

ELEVENTH ANNUAL “SUNDANCE FOR THE TROOPS” RUNS MAY 24^th – 28^th 

The Nation’s Only Military Film Festival Announces Official Film Selections for 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 27, 2017) – The GI Film Festival (GIFF), the nation’s premiere entertainment enterprise exclusively dedicated to presenting the veteran experience through film, television and special events, today announced its official film selections for the 11th annual event, running May 24 – 28, 2017 in Washington, D.C. This year’s five-day program boasts a dynamic lineup of 50-plus films, including narrative and documentary films: https://gifilmfestival.com/featured-films-2017/.

“The quality, depth and diversity of this year’s GI Film Festival film line-up is staggering,” says GI Film Festival Chairman and Co-Founder Brandon Millett.  “We have packed this year’s fest schedule with films of every genre, from action films to historical documentaries, animated comedies to dramas, thrillers to sci-fi films. Start to finish this is the best group of films we’ve ever showcased.”

Hailed by Bloomberg News as “Sundance for the Troops,” the GI Film Festival’s mission is to preserve the stories of military veterans through film, television and dynamic live special events. Since 2007, the GIFF has spearheaded the lead-up to Memorial Day in our nation’s capital by offering the country’s most expansive view of military themes on film. Including, for the first time this year, a Cinematic Salute to the Troops on Saturday night, May 27^th, which will feature short films, music, celebrity awards and more.

“Every year a theme organically emerges from our film content,” noted GI Film Festival President and Co-Founder Laura Law-Millett (U.S. Army Veteran). “What's emerged from this year's festival films is an overarching theme of the courage to overcome. Whether its overcoming paralysis from IEDs, barriers for our women warriors, post traumatic stress with animal therapy, or the pain of losing a loved one in battle, these films capture very real challenges faced by active military and their spirit to prevail."

In addition to its film line-up, GIFF will offer a “Pitch Fest” where filmmakers will present their best film and television ideas to industry professionals, a congressional reception, embassy soiree, live music, stand-up comedy, star-studded red carpets, and awards ceremonies, all honoring and lending a voice to the veteran community.  Additional schedule details forthcoming. See www.gifilmfestival.com for updates.

Ticket prices range from $15 for a matinee screening with filmmaker Q&A to $350 for a festival “all access” pass providing access to select official GIFF screenings and special events. A limited supply of GIFF “all access” passes are available now. Single event tickets go on sale Monday, April 10, 2017.
