GFMH Company Overview & Description
Goliath distributes motion pictures, educational videos, and other digital content. Goliath plans to distribute video properties to television stations and networks and to private groups such as religious congregations or schools. At this time Goliath does not intend to engage in theatrical releases of motion pictures, due to the high up-front costs of advertising and marketing theatrically. Also, theatrical releases of motion pictures have historically represented only 18% of domestic revenues for the industry (13% internationally) and this percentage is expected to decrease even more in the future. Goliath intends to emphasize niche markets, commencing with faith-based, educational, responsible minority content, and low budget horror movies.
Goliath currently own the distribution rights to the following motion pictures: “Seducing Spirits,” “The Perfect Argument,” “Marina Murders,” “Film Struggle,” “Divorce in America,” “A Wonderful Summer,” “The Truth About Layla,” “Living with Cancer” and “The Biggest Fan. Goliath’s standard, distribution agreements allow for the Company to receive 30% of gross revenues, and the Company anticipates profitability from its distribution efforts. In general, the company’s distribution contracts cover both domestic and international licensing agreements; however, for the motion picture The Biggest Fan Goliath obtained limited theatrical distribution rights since that film was already released theatrically.
Goliath has also acquired distribution rights to a group of educational videos (primarily English, ESL and mathematics) produced by KLCS, a public television station based in Los Angeles, in cooperation with the Los Angeles Unified School District. Goliath has held preliminary discussions for international distribution of these videos.
What is the timeline for activities during the next 12 months? Over the next 90 days, our efforts will be concentrated on acquiring a critical mass of motion pictures and digital content in the genres of faith-based, educational, responsible minority content, and low budget horror. Goliath hopes to acquire a critical mass of content n the genres of educational, faith-based, minority, low budget horror, specifically targeted and non-niche market films during this time period. Goliath has commenced very preliminary discussions for the international licensing of content that it has distribution rights to.
Goliath plans to attend all the major motion picture trade fairs, such as, the European Film Market in Berlin, the Italian Film Market, the American Film Market in Santa Monica, the International Christian Trade Show, and others. The film markets are where buyers and sellers of motion pictures meet to acquire and sell content. Today there are 89 distinct international territories for film distribution. Typically, international and domestic buyers agree to license motion pictures in each territory, for a term of 3-5 years on a per-picture basis. Goliathalso plans to market the faith based films to over 300 US Christian television channels and to a network of various Christian assemblies where releases directly to church audiences have met with success .

Goliath Acquires Catalog of Faith Based Films
PR Newswire (Tue, Oct 9)
Quote:
Goliath Film and Media Holdings Inc. (GFMH) (the "Company" or "Goliath") is pleased to announce that it has acquired a catalog of seventeen faith based films. Historically, faith based films have been one of the leading categories of films based on investment returns.
According to a 2011 study conducted by the Christian-focused entertainment advocacy group MovieGuide , American audiences preferred movies with strong conservative content and values over movies with liberal or left-leaning values by an almost six-to-one margin. In fact, Movieguide's report asserts that the Christian-motivated movies, on average, earned four times as much in box office returns – $64.3 million as opposed to $15.9 million for films in other non-Christian genres.
CEO Lamont Roberts stated, "This catalog acquisition is an exciting development for Goliath. Faith based libraries like this are hard to come by and always represent strong returns".
