As an independent production company, Great Scott! Films has had a reputation

slate with a potential to exceed $5,000,000 in revenue for 2010.

combination of our turnkey production expertise with Union Square's ability
to integrate marketing, sales/sponsorships, public relations, merchandising
and events into the mix will make us a very strong player in the industry,"
Scott concluded.

strengthens our capabilities and enhances our strategy of building a full circle
media organization, giving us a true 360° discipline." He continued,
