Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company Signs Technology Deal with Software Developers Patrick Greene and Alexander Harrington for its Interactive Cinema Experience
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. (OTCBB: MHYS) today announced that it has entered into a software agreement for the development of technology that will allow theater audiences to engage with motion pictures in live-time using their Smart-phones. Created by Patrick Greene and Alexander Harrington, the technology will be exclusively and jointly owned by Mass Hysteria Entertainment and Greene and Harrington. The technology, called Side Flick™ is designed to allow audience members to engage with unique second screen content on their Smart phones in sync with the movie up on the big screen. Version one of the App. will initially be available for the Android, iPhone and Microsoft Smart phones.
Daniel Grodnik, CEO of Mass Hysteria Entertainment stated, "After three years of pain-staking
work, it is with great excitement that I can announce we have "proof of concept" for our
interactive movie experience. Passing this critical milestone to bring a new and engaged movie
experience to the multiplex has been our quest since I started Mass Hysteria in 2009. The Side
Flick application is designed to allow audience members to connect with additional scenes,
characters, information and games, during the running of film and e-commerce features when it's
over. We expect to be able to beta-test Side Flick with live audiences in association with a major
exhibition chain in the first half of 2013.
Our technology also gives us the ability to repurpose existing movies and film libraries with
second screen content, as well as, enhance the creative reach of filmmakers in the production of
new movies to connect with audiences in an entirely new way. We may also license the Side
Flick technology to studios for use in development and repurpose of their new and existing
films."
Patrick Greene and Alex Harrington, stated, "We are thrilled to be a part of such an
innovative concept as Mass Hysteria's interactive cinema project. As software system builders
outside of Hollywood, we were delighted when Dan challenged us to help him change the
passive movie paradigm to one of engagement. We knew immediately this could change the
course of our lives and eventually that of movie audiences world-wide."
